PUBLIC HEALTH.
for the careful study of this ques-
n have decided that while there is
~ little sickness, and no contagious
ssses we have grown careless of the
bitary condition of the city. There
faw localities that l wish to I'M
vs. On the health committee the ne
Sitv of giving its immediate atten-
to them and also to investigate
ne Of the needed sewage connections.
A MARKET PLACE.
VERY reasonable encouragement
mid be given to the farmers of the
aeent counties to seek II market in
wiston. 1t will take time To deter
ne lust what Is needed for their con-
uieice, but they should have "a
pper aud safe place to stand loaded
ICONS, There ale many that canrOt
ord or do not care to patrOnize feed
bles and hotels, besides it IS often All
noyance to the property holders and
ders and farmers alike to have teams
tpred Throughout the city without
ptectOn.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
would recommend the opening OF
Eth street, needed improvement
one to be met as fast rs the avail
e funds will permit, as the street
I'D is III considerable arrears and the
eet IN pretty fair condition. I would
advise any great expenditure tol
coming year that can be avoided.
Considerable has been said in the
year on street paving. If tits found
ce>sary to do anything in this line
the near future would recommend
purchase Of a rock crusher, thu.
ing our own industry and materia
pich is to be found cos" at hand.
We must favor our own home labor

BRIDGES.
lewiston offers an inviting field to-
iustriOus people of every class. Those

acquainted with the brightness o

OK to its development has been it.
:atlon from the great routes of travel
bile the ferries have done good ser
e and the owners have striven in al
ys to ease the public, All additional
ans OF ingress and egress seem
cessary to meet the demands o
