COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDITOR - If our city fathers
will only look back on the records
they will find that the town run has
cost the town an immense sum Of
money in repairing, besides the
amount spent by parties who own the
meadows south of town, and the i'll
health and expense Of those who live
east of the town. True economy lies
in making such improvements perma-
nent. W.. have fall from the Shep-
herd property OH German street TO
the water-tank Oh the y. q w. Kali
road. OF tifty-two feet to the mile.
Why should not all the land south Of
town be drained, 20 a. 10 permanent
" lie shut Of this drain upon the
finances Of the town, making the said
lots more valuable to the owners ;
making our healthy town more health
full thereby saving expense and tax
of doctor bills draining the water
out of the cellars OF all those on Prin-
cess street "a well. and saving their
gardens.
Nv proposition 10 TO commence at
German street. make a regular grade
to the tank and cut the channel ten
feet wide all the way, making an EN-
bankment on the east side OF tho run,
and we will have no more floods
With proper grade there will be 10
accumulation of water, but will run
off as fast as it comes down 10 the
tank. Some will say, ''Oh, look at the
/ expense - To such We will say: Look
at the expense and damage 70 proper
ty and health for the last fifty years
And again, ] say that if the millers
boomers and owners Of the land south
( OF town. and the railroad company
whoinit will benefit largely, will give
their proportion, the expenses vii
not be SO great upon the town. L
this is not gospel let some one els'
! speak.
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1891-04-17
A Good Move.

We are glad to learn that the mat
ter of estab lishing an authorized grade
for all the streets, pavements ana al
levs of the town, and the enactment
of an ordinance that will secure ana
REQUIRE future conformity thereto,
has been formally brought by few
of our active and enterprising citizens
before our Town Council. While
there may be room for the exercise of
good Judgment unG discretion in de
termining just what shall be done anu
how, there can be no room for serious
question as TO the Importance and ne
cessity of some decided action i'll this
matter, and II efficiently done, of the
ultimate benefits to be derived by the
town therefrom.
No abrupt or unreasonable changes
are contemplated, but it is designed
to apply TO the streets, pavements
and alleys Of the town such system as
will secure uniformity-the principle
upon which taxes are levied and 9th
er acts OF government conducted.
