FROM THE FIRST WARD.

city III these columns recently We
should have mentioned other indus
tries which are in tlourishing condi-
ton, Take the William Mann Paper
] Company. which is about to double its
capacity. We understand the speciti-
cations for the contract are now in the
builders hands. There are also other
industries in our. city, but as they are
not in our field of operation (the First
Ward we will pass them by without
mention, Kecpup with tho times, Mr.

| Enough water comes down off Frank
lin street into Main street, at three
different places, whenever there is II
heavy rain, large enough to run
a saw mill, flooding the sidewalks and
tearing up the bed of the street This
should be remedied by all means, as il
is very annoying to all who travel this
street. and we will venture to say there
| is moro travelling done on South Main
street than on any other street in town.
The sidewalk might be raised, rs it is
now something like two feet below the
grade of the street. This would rome
dy the defect to certain extent but
any little Improvement would be ap-
preciated by those who are compelled
to travel this street, rain or shine, day
in and day out, through Winter and
Summer. We like to see good streets
and sidewalks, and in our opinion
those which are used the most by the
general public should Mt least be kept
i'll passablc condition Mt all seasons of
the year. We are thankful To the hon
orable members of Council from our
ward for the improvement they made
on our streets the past yeGr..and only
hope the good work may continue.
We haven't heard anything concern
ing that Opera House lately. There
is another locality, which has not been
mentioned, although rather too far
down town, perhaps. This is ON the
corner of Swan and Main streets, run
ming through to Franklin street, This
would make splendid and convenient
place for such n building, with II back
entrance on Franklin street, This lot
is something like 200x300 feet square.
OF course, some might object To this
locality nevertheless we can honestly
and truthfully say, after twenty five
yenrs residence in the ward, ii is ns
quiet neighborhood as any III our
city There is not ns much disorder
or rowdyism in the ward as there ~ i'll
other localities of our city and any
one in doubt concerning the above can
look over the police records and draw
their conclusions therefrom.

1t was plainly shown by our rccen
election that the people of Lambert
Vile can't stand prosperity and wante
change. The next thing now in OF

manning Republican Councilman. Thi
il no Joke, as two have already mn
nounced their intention of taking sucl
action.
