C. G. BoTELEa member OF the board OF
trade. of Cropley & Boteler wholesale and
retail dealers in agricultural implements, No.
32l3 VI street: y have not read the bill. but
think if it is necessary to preserve the health
of the people that the sewerage be per-
fectcd and completed. and as the government
declines TO make the improvements the District
should do it. and do it at once. But l am OPP
posed 10 the extension OF streets. ! think
that can be left out of the proposition under
the loan. and let the streets be improved in
the regular way rs the city grows. II the eX-
pense FOR these improvements comes wholly
upon the people OF the District. without
government aid. then the people ought to
have the right to vote upon the question, as
they should upon all other questions of like
Importance If the improvements are pro-
vidcd for. they shoald be distributed equita-
bly, in city ana country"
