CLEANING STREETS.

The way our worthy city authorities
go to work to mend streets Is ridiculous
ly primitive. Where the street seems
low, load Of dirt and gravel is dump
ed, dry, and the unsightly pile lefi for
the passing teams to tramp down. The
result is that large part of the filling
material is blown or kicked away, off to
the sides of the street, and goes to make
. part of the ever increasing accumu-
lation of filth and dirt that lines the
cutters.
FL Paso needs a steam roller, and
needs it badly. Care in mendipg the
streets would save both misery and
money. The city would be more sight
ly and n ore heslthful. The natural
cement that is SO great a convenience
in this section is one of the best road
makers known, but it must be used
with some discretion. When q load Of
1t is dumped, it ought to be wet down
and thoroughly tamped, or. better yet,
rolled with a heavy steam roller. By
scrsping the sides of the streets regu-
larly, filling the holes. sprinkling
often, and rolling regularly with a
large steam roller, we might have the
fines: streets in the state. A good,
clean, we'll graded mscadam roadway
Is as pretty and as sound as q paved
street except in the business
center. 1t cannot exactly be
swept, and that IA axes il poor street
for the business center. But it can be
kept clean by picking up the loose dirt
and droppipgs and carrying them
away.
Our business men ought to arouse
work. 1t lie necessary II Ell Psso Is to
be kept heslthful and free from disease.
It is necessary for our protection as
W IL as for our comfort and happiness.
Not to have good, clean streets is an
evidence of slOvenliness that does dis
courage and ought to discourage any
intending investor or resident.
Clean streets are health asset and q
money asset. They always pay for
the mise Ives many times over. But one
of the first requisites Is to put the
work 10 charge of a man who knows
SO me thing about it, or at least one who
has some direct personal interest in
having the work well done. One de-
partment of the street work has been
pretty well done for several months
past; that is, the sprilkling. There Is
cause for complaint on some of the out
lying residence streets, and the street
sprinklers seem to stay indoors often
when they are most wanted to lay the
dust, but generally there has been
great improvement in this branch of
the work during the past year. 1t Is |
unfortunate that as much cannot be |
eaid of the other branches.

AFTER A CONTRACTOR.
The Only One I'm His Line Not Paying
the Union Scale.

Harry Travis, business agent Of the Car
penters' Union, is now busy calling upon
men who have let work to a contractor on
the unfair list. Mr.. Travis says that these
jobs specified that union labor shall be
employed, but that the contractor refuses
to comply with the requirements Several
of the men seen are business men, and un-
less the contractor is made to conform to
the specifications the carpenters will place
them on the unfair list and present the
matter to the central body of the trades
unions. All except this contractor signed
the scale last spring, but the inability to
force him into line is causing those who
are paying union wages, 30 cents an hour,
to become dissatisfied. and cut is threat
ened. To avert this the carpenters will
take radical measures, if necessary, and
will ask the support of all the trade or
ganizations in the city. What is being
done now Is the last step toward forcing
the contractor TO pay the union scale. and
unless the merchants who have let work
to him compel him to comply with the spec
ifcations boycotts will be established.

Indiana Crop bulletin.

The Indiana crop bulletin for the week
ending June has the following to say:
Light and heavy rains, in localities,
most every day prevented farm work in
general, but the cultivation of corn and
with great rapidity: all crops were much
improved by the rain; corn Is growing well,
cut worms injured some fields and the
rains injured that in the lowlands. Oats,
rye and barley are in good condition. To-
bacco transplanting continued rain inter-
fered on some days. Potatoes are in
bloom. Timothy and clover are improved,
the latter is nearly ready to cut; mead
ows and pasturage improved. but the rains
came too late in some localities to insure
a heavy crop. Fruit promises an abund-
ant crop. but pears and apples are drop
ping badly, and worms are injuring the
apple trees in many orchards. straw berries
and cherries are ripening."

A FRANCHISE GRANTED


The County Commissioners yesterday
granted franchise TO the Shelbyville COM
pany that wants to build an electric line
from this city to Shelbyville. The fran
chse is over the Michigan road and is good
for fifty years. The company wanted to
have the limit for building the line from
June l. 1901, to June /, 1902 but the COM
missioners objected and changed the fran
chise so that construction must begin not
later than April l. 1901. and must be fin
ished by Dec. l. 1901 The commissioners
were disappointed in another company that
secured franchise and drew the restric-
tions closer this time.
