way of saving the stocks Of goods is
by the clerks and proprietors getting
to work there at once, no time being
given even to hunt up the street crew
Cleanliness and drainage were the
most essential features. Those must
be looked after even though nothing
else is done.
j. w. North brought out the idea
that the city should be given the full
width Of the street, and that part of
it should not be obstructed by the coal
office as is now the case. In reply to
the question of Mayor Lane, he said
it would be an excellent idea to in
troduce the Russian plan Of having the
street drained from the centre instead
of the sides.
f. f. Davis spoke of the trouble
which the condition of the street had
given him by the water backing up
into his store and damaging his goods
He thought that by lowering the street
two feet, arrangements could be made
by which the store keepers might have
all their cases taken in and out Of the
back doors on Commercial street. In
it's present condition, he does not con-
slider the street a safe place to leave
horses.
When all were done speaking, c. $.
Hitchborn was asked to speak. Begin
ming quietly, and then speaking ear
nestly and eloquently he soon had
everyone in the room following him
and watching for every word that
might come. In its present condition,
ne said the street is an offcnsc to the
eye, and n stencil to the nostrils. What
was the best to be done, he could not
say, but one thing he knew, that the
present conditions must be changed
and thus a disgrace to the city remov-
ed. He struck home to the hearts Of
the business men as he was about to
close. by saying: The traders have
been complaining for years that they
are losing the trade of the country peo-
pie. The people from the country have
no safe place to leave their horses. If
this Is the most feasible place for leav-
ing the horses, then fix il up ana we
will see the people from out of town
beginning to come back to the city to
trade. As Commercial street is now it
Is a dumping place for ashes. straw ana
whatever may collect in store. That
something must be done in fixing the
street cannot be denied"
In further talk about the street it
was developed that II the street could
be paved no objection To leaving the
horses stand there could be made. as
the pavements might be swept and the
conditions now 50 strongly
10 could be removed.
All those who wished 10 speak hav-
ing been heard. the meeting was ad-
jlurned until 80 Monday evening.
Nearly all present proceeded to the vii
lage district at the Smith grammar
school.

now it is in use even at the farm

to the inability to find the wheel than
because there are no wheels in the

the value does not increase proper
