Zeringer. The ticket chosen is com
posed Of weIl-knOwn representative
citizens, and we believe will make a
progressive administration. There
was a spirited, but friendly contest
for the Offices; but no sores were
left, and the best Of good feeling
reigned between the victors and the
vauquished the following day.
Our town needs many improve
ments, such as water works, electric
lights for the streets, good cemented
pavements, and a better system of
drainage. Last but not least its
sanitary condition Is far from per
feet.
An expenditure Of $1,000 before
warm weather comes, will, we be-
Heve destroy the possibility Of the
re-appearance Of yellow fever, and
other malignant fevers, and thereby.
save many thousand dollars to the
business interests of the town. Fol
the moment this problem Of prevent
ing the re-appearence Of these fevers
by sanitation ecHpses every other
problem that our city guardians, will
have to deal with, for the evil gnaws
at the foundation stone of the town,
progress. If the business interests
Of the town, as well as the individua
happiness Of its citizens, continue q
prey TO the demoralizing annual out
breaks Of contagious fevers, however
mild, the town will be sure to suffer
more than it can gain by directing
attention to any other subject.
To our mind the main issue, at this
moment is to prevent any furthe.
encroachment on the reputation o
the town as a healthy place, and IN
til this is done ali other reforms mus
fall Of their own weight.
