Street extension Is dead as a doornail

A few bills 10 r the extension Ofindividual

One Senator said: Congress Is not going
to purchase suburban farms at cxorbitaDt
prices" tt...
There may he no general or special ex-
preston of such a sentiment. hut still it
exists. No one may even say so in q speech
in either branch, but tha 3 is the way they
feel. II can Bc counted on sure that none

NO MORE BILLS.
The Senate District Committee VIII push
no street extension bills. The chances
are almost infinitesimai in favor OF passing
any of the measures now before that body.
The North Capital street extension case
was the last straw.
Prospect Hill Cemetery wants SAT 900
for the land taken for the extension of
this thoroughfare. On one side of the
street the increa sed value OF the lots would
pay for the Improvement But the di-
rcctors wanted all. They refused a COM
promise offer OF $4,000 from the Com
missioners. Now they will receive moth
ing. -.e -,e, Js -rfsrg
The entire cemetery only cost So 900.
Land in the vicinity can be bought for
$500 an acre. Yet the cemetery com
pany stood out FOR SAT 900. This Is only
an example of the cases which have come
before the Senate District Committee.
Such cases explain why Congressman are
growing tired.
That is why the golden eggs will no

Does This Mean You?

The man who does not take part
In the local affairs of his communi-
ty is a dangerous citizen. The
growing belief that some people
are too good or too busy or too
scholarly to bear their share of the
burdens of local citizenship is a
pernicious one. 1t is the duty of
every citizen to be interested In all
that concerns his community. To
shrink this duty is more than sell
fish, 1t is unpatriotic and unworthy.
When this is done by the so called
citizens it leaves local government
in the hands of the vicious and cor
rupt. When busy people consult
only their immediate business in
terests and neglect public affairs
a town becomes the prey of the
shiftless and improvldent, and
death and civic disaster speedily
follow. So the scholarly owe a
contributation to the public life of
the town where they reside. 1t is
not only the patriotic duty of the
intelligent and prosperous and
honorable to participate in local
politics, but even from selfish
standpoint they cannot afford to be
Indifferent. Else the whole commu.
nifty will suffer from maladminis-
tration and they with it.-Er.
