The present mayor and members
of the City council have built a last
ing monument TO theirenterprise and
excellent Judgment in the splendid
rock street to the depot. Its a mat
! ter of favorable comment to every
one coming to our city and a great
pride TO our people Now they should
90 further and leave us without the
convenience of lights for "A few years
and with that money build every
main street touching the public
square to the corporate limits of the
city. 1t may not be SO popular now.
but in time to come the people will
rise up and call YOU blessed.
We believe that making permanent
rock streets is OF much more benefit
to Butler than the temporary con
venience OF street-lights. We admit
that lighted streets are mighty nice
and convenient, but we believe that
our people would be willing to do
without that luxury for a few years
until the principal streets leading out
from the public square are macadam-
lied. Then We can have the lights.
On the other hand. if we take the
lights now we must do without the
permanent streets. There is nothing
that so improves town AS perma-
nent streets. We hope the council
will turn down the light proposition
for the present.
