4 Timely Suggestion.

GENEVA KANs., March Is, 1892.
Friend Scott: Your item in this

TO my mind land induces me to ask
YOUR help through the REGISTERl a
question long agitated by our 20.
board. viz: 1t was proposed to Messrs
Taylor and COutant that if the city
authorities would furnish rock deliv-
cred at Jail $50 that the county would
he AFT no expense for hauling) the
Board would have them broken by
prisoners, the city to use them as its
needs require, paying us something
for the breaking, the price paid being
a secondary consideration. If the pet
tv thieves. dead beats and rOughs of
all kinds were given to understand
that at takes money to buy whlskey"
they would be less anxious to lntrude
their company upon the proprietor OF
Hotel de Hobart, and would come To
the conclusion that if they must work
for q living, some other climate would
he more cougenial. To discourage
this class of brutes in human form
from adding to the taxation OF our
Deonle. LET us make it so rcd hot for
Them that instead of counting chance
to roast their shins at Allen Go. IS free

Immediately betake themselves to
Darts unknown, forever remembering
that this is very unhealthy location
for members of their order. Can't you
help us in getting this rock hauling
done? Yours respectfully,
ID. d. SPICER.
The foregoing letter was evidently
not written for publication, but it
states the case so strongly and so we'll
that we take the liberty of printing it
and directing special attention to it.
We have spoken with some members
of the city council about the matter
and they are emphatically Of the Opin-
ion that the city could not do better
than accept the proposition made by
the Commissioners. Mr.. Taylor says
the streets OF Erie, NeOshO county,
were macadamized by exactly this
sort of an arrangement at trifiing
cost TO the city. AS Mr.. Spicer sug-
rests. there are always some worthless
scamDs who want no better thing
than a iail sentence, which gives them
a free lodging and boarding place, and
I'm some cases these vagabonds have
been known to commit some mlsde-
meanor for no other purpose than TO
he sent to Jail. 1t would certainly be
