Needed City Improvements.

MONDAYS vote upon the lice nse
question may be taken rs m express
sion OF the citizens favorable to Ak
ing up the streets and sidewalks,
this feature being a strong factor in
the result, as 1t was often remarked
that Ii license would give funds to do
the WORK. That this work Is needed
must be evident to anyone. Owing
to the economical and careful man
agement of the city officers for sew
eral years the old floating debt has
been entirely wiped out. The time
would seem to be ripe now for this
work. Main street needs grading
and draining, so that mud holes and
lakes will not be in evidence after
every rain. and the sidewalks are in
very poor condition. When the
business men and property owners
voted for a license they OF course
knew OF and thereby approved the
city ordinances upon these ques-
tions. One ordinance requires the
removal of ali wooden awnings; an
other requires l2-it. plank side
walk made to n certain gradual
grade in harmony with the general
slope OF the street. As it is now, the
sidewalks slope in al! directions, jog
up and down, and are generally un.
even, with boards broken, loose and
patched. The majority vote OF
Monday asks that these things be
remedied, and the enterprising Of
ficers elected to carry out the pub.
lies wishes will probably make an
earnest effort and accomplish these
much needed improvements. Miller

The most successful growth o.

tree is located close to y building or

startling turn this morning. Fifty OF
the noD-union men who came here to
'ake the union mems places, struck to-
day and they are trying TO get the

nue. lines day or two ago, announcing
that as the strike was now over, the
men would have to pay IS week for
meal tickets The men explain that
he arrangements upon which they
came here were that they should re-
ceive 50 day and board go long as the
strike might continue. When the bulle.
