1 desire to see a continuation of the
construction of sidewalks of durable
material throughout the city, and be
lieve that this feature of improvement
not only lessons the liability of the
city in damages accidents but com
mends itself to all citizens.
In the interests of good sanitation il
has been apparent for some time of the
absolute necessity of dividing our city
into sewer districts and the abandon
ment of laying sewers in haphazzart
way. We should pay attention to the
enforcement of the health ordinance:
and the adoption of such ordinances
as may best improve the health of oul
citizens.
l desire particularly to call the at

ondition of the water supply lnthe city
It will be remembered by many OF
You that in the latter part of our for

developed the fact that an unusual
and fragrant waste of water had beer
going on in the city. Comparing on
population and pumage of water will

learn that Rock Island was using ovel

sidewalk ordinances SO as to have the

July or September. Then, by winter,

crossings in districts where there is no
paving.
Our fire department is at present
well equipped and is a credit to the
city, costing a great amount each year,
and the money is, in my opinion, well
spent. We could have no better pro-
lection, unless a new company was es-
tablished on the bluff, which / think
lis very much needed.
In the matter of health, would say
we have been extremely fortunate; no
pestilence or epidemic has prevailed in

Health Commissioners report will,
think, bear me out in that we have
been quite successful. II

CAPT. JOHN X. THOMPSON, of
Putnam county. it is thought, will
succeed G. +. Wells as u. S. Marshal.
This, says the Fairmont Index, is
strange Republican politics. Wells
is a Union veteran, while Thorn pson
is former Confederate. When the
Democrats used to fill the place of a
q. a. II. man by an old L" Reb" what
a howl the RAIDS would make.
Nothing strange about this, Brother
Smith, Thompson votes the Repub.
ican ticket. Wells is a Democrat.
