Town Building.

Inc IOlIOWluX exlE1clS from Two
Of our valued exchanges contain
timely suggestions, applicable to
almost every town in the State:
We are exceedingly jealous Of
the reputation of .sthe burg" and
always take issue with any one
We hear speaking d~lparagingly Of
her. But we had nothing to an
swer when We heard > visitor in
our midst . short time ago say
he had as soon undertake to scale
Pixies Peak IS TO walk in safety
the side walks Of Greensburg.
The Justice of this remark forci-
bly, impressed itself upon us. and
We remalnded silent. 1t seems
that as our town progresses in the
matter Of schools, increase Of
population, rev business enter
prlses, etc., her sidewalks become
Disguised. and with each shower Of
ram, progress further and further
down the hill, leaving in their
stead perilous pitfalls and ungainly
washouts. We think our city
fathers should at once devote their
attention to this matter. With
little exertlon on their part, this
most striking evil . be eradicat-
ed, and our town be made beauti-
FIJI and placed above reproach.-
st. Helena Echo.
We do not apologize for suggest
ing, that, If the Iowa Syndicate
desires to sell their lots IN the
southeast part Of town, they could
do nothing sure to accomplish that
object as to grade a few streets
through those vacant blocks, which
would be about as good an adyer-
t;sement as could be made, and 4
very jndicious investment. as
is ample to stump, pillow and grade
= street across one block, while IS
per lot would be : small price to
pay tor the improvement, m OPP
portunity which every man Of
judgment would grasp at once.
There being l2 lots fronting the
street-six on either side the
extra amount of money they would
bring at S. per lot, would be $50,
or Sl5 for each $50 feet frontage.
We have seen a few towns in our
life, but never saw one where
houses were built in advance Of
street improvements. We would
advocate the working of streets By
the city to improve our town, At
the expense of the abut:ing prop
erty, which we believe, is legal
and is practiced in all States in the
Union. This would be in lire
with public improvements. and the
cost would be a indiclous expendl-
ture, one TO be borne by the pur-
chaser, and him a~lone.-Hammond
