There are upwards of ninety streets, aR-

Second, " s., how shall II raise the

In regard TO the hrst question, without
any consideration OF t,e means Of pay
mont, believe that the course pursued
fur several years by our city In building
streets has peen an extravagnnt one.
This course has resulted IN large num-
tsr of streets being built, OF no use u the
city, and only a source OF extra expense
necessary TO keep them in repair. They
have been built on demand of the prop
erty owners who In most cases have
roaued the benefits thereof, in tho shape OF
enhanced value to their property. IL
has resulted in q state of log rolling
which, If carried to Its logical conclusion,
would swamp the city financially. The
policy of vote for my street and L Will
vote for yours, has prevailed too long for
the city's good. would advise that you
refuse to accept and build any more
stroots that are not absolutely essential
TO the oity's needs.
But II, gentlemen, You intend 90 con-

another serious question will confront
you: How shall tho city obtain the
