A DISTINCTIVE CITY.
MIR. Harrison Says You Can't See Pittsburg

Mr.. Harrison Says You Can't See Pittsburg
in a Day.
Charles Harrison. Of Toledo, has not forgot
ten his old love for Pitrsburg. where he worked
for good while in the newspaper business.
There are but three distinctive cities in the
United States" he began. yesterday morning
in City Clerk Booths office.
"And what are they?" his hearers asked
eagerly.
They are Quebec, Pittsburg and New Or
leans. All the others have so many features
in common that when you have seen one you
have seen ALL 1t is useless to talk about seeing
this city in day. You can't drive over it and
begin to get an idea of what is being done here.
You may spend week profitably looking
around, and then you will want to stay week

BOOMING THE VALUATION.
The Assessors VIII Not Report Before the
Middle of Next Month.

Middle of Next Month.
The Board of Assessors is hard at work on
the duplicate books showing the taxable valua-
tion of the city for the fiscal year of 1881, and
they find that owing to the great amount OF
building done within the past year the valua-
tion will be considerably increased. The law
requires that the assessors shall report to
Councils in January of each year the taxable
valuation. but this year the report will not be
made until February, as Councils will not meet
again, unless specially called until the second
Monday OF next month. The work of the board
will not be completed until that time as the
canvas of new buildings has not been CON-
pleted, and the appeals on assessments thereon
Will not be decided until nearly the middle of
the month.
If the Finance Committee should desire a re-
port from the assessors, however. before they
are ready to furnish a completed return, an
estimate can be made that will comply with the
law and answer all practical purposes in the
preparation OF the appropriation ordinance.

Shall we pray that the last hemlock plank

our city authorities may inform themselves
on the improved methods of street, side

The telegraph and telephone poles on
many of our streets look as if they had

Have the city fathers no authority to re-
move these unsightly poles and have them
replaced with sound, straight sticks with a

Nature has been very lavish in her gifts

the summer months we have no extremes
OF heat and our rapidly flowing river affords
complete natural drainage, which makes
our city one of the most healthful places
In our State. Our great need is little
more public spirit in our business and

our community, to make our city not only
a very desirable place of residence, but
very attractive to visitors.

M Eduor
We We're glad to read in your last issue
that the Public Improvement Society had
organized for the spring campaign; but
unless the city authorities will second
their efforts to make our city more tidy,
their work will be nearly fruitless. The
practice of mailing pieces Of board over
the holes in our sidewalks, is not only un-
slightly, but dangerous to pedestrians, es-
pecally in the evening on those streets
that are not well lighted If our city is
too impoverished to furnish new planks in
place of those that are worn out, would it
not be well for the society to provide them,
or perhaps the women who reside on the
streets where those unsightly patches are,
would ontribute few pennies each from
their pin money and have the nuisance re-
moved.
The appearance of the sidewalks on
many of our streets would be very much
improved if they were leveled, where the
action Of the frost or the decay of sleep
er has caused them to be thrown up or
settle, so that in looking the length of
some of our streets, the sidewalks are as
undulatlng as the waves of the ocean.
The sidewalk on Main street, nearly op-
posite City Hall, is SO high above the gut
ter that fall from it would be liable to
result in a serious injury. Cannot our
streets be so graded as to avoid these dan
gerous and unsightly places? If not, and
our street commissioners continue to scoop
out the cutters and build up our streets. as
has been the custom for the past ten years,
we shall be obliged to furnish hand rail
to protect the people from falling into the
street. Plank sidewalks are expensive
and unsightly at best; but as long as a
hemlock plank is sawed on our river, we
presume we shall have to submit to them,
for did not our forefathers build the same?
And for the same reason shall we have to
submit to an unsightly, rlckety, wooden
bridge to span our beautiful little river,
when light iron bridge with substantial
stone piers (though the Hrst cost would
be more) would last ages and be an
ornament to our city and in the end be
