The City Legislature.

At a meeting of the city council Tuesday night Alderman Baugh intro duced motion t6Huthorize the street
 committee to purchase cypress lumber for sidewalks. which was carried. Alderman Russell. with keen sense of what is needed to make the town a town indeed. moved that committee of two be appointed to investigate the cost of system of waterworhs for the town. and repovtat the next meeting The motion was carried and Aldermen
 Russell and Baugh were appointed by the mayor.
 On motion also of Mir Russell, the
 marshal was instructed to purchase d belland put at the city hail 1t s 50 Other routine business WAS dispensed and council adjourned.
 The present council has so far shown much wisdom in mapping out line of improvement and following 1t up with
 work which for permanency and quail tv has never been excelled in this city. The best is always the cheapest in the long run, and temporary improvements are worse than folly. If the board
 really has in view the erection of water
 works, we feel sure they will not in vest anything in any character of tenn
 porary or thIrd-rate schemes, such as the one already started on the eastern hillside. If we are to have waterworks let us have thorough system. Some thing first-class throughout. We have.
 reason to know that the committee ap-
 pointed to investigate the matter en-
 bodies our views of the subject. Another point which TIE TIMES
 wishes to suggest as a beautifyer and time and money saver, is road maker. The council stands in it's own light every day they postpone the purchase of improved machinery for roadmak- ing. An investigation of this matter will disclose the fact that the best and
 latest improved machinery for road making will pay for itself in one sea- son.
 If we are to be up with the age, let us begin to move, and move in the righ path.
