LET THE WORK GO ON.

Putting the City in Good Tri1n for tn,
Summer Visitors
All over the city mechanics and workme1
are busy painting, repairing and doing
other things that will give the city GOOD
appearance this summer. The county com
missioners have had the court house re-
painted, and it now looks like new struc-
ture. Owners of Main street property have
put in new fronts and re-painted old build
ings SO that tho main business section will
present a most inviting appearance. Many
owners of residence property are engaged
in the same good work, repairing
fences and putting down new sidewalks.
An improvement that is generally
to be desired. and one that should
be undertaken Immediately, is the
paving OF that portion of Jackson street
from the Hotter block to Sixth avenue.
During the meetings of the conventions
Jackaon street will be used great deal by
pedestrians, and there is nowhere in the
city a wo:so looking place than the half
block on the west side of that thorough
fare. Two years ago the city council
passed an ordinance ordering the work
done. 1t WAS obeyed by portion of the
property owners, but the others paid no
heed to the law. Now is the time for the
proper authorities to aee that ii is enforced.
