other planking. The tendency of recent Councils
has been, am happy to state in the direction OF
laying stone crossings and making permanent
improvements in highways, so far as available
funds allow, and in this connection l wish to
ready to assist you in this direction so far as the
powers of my Office permit. One of the first, il
not the first thing to attract the attention of
strangers in town is the condition of its streets
and such condition is taken as an index to the
business enterprise and prosperity of the citizens.
The rate of taxation, of course. cuts some figure
with intending residents but while the tax payers
are usually willing to stand a high tax rate if
they have permanent improvements to show for
their money and while strangers will move into
an enterprisng town where they can do business
regardless of taxation the other combination
high tax rate, poor streets, shaky improvements
and general pessmism as exempliied by state
ments to the effect that 1--WE are too hard up to
keep our streets and sidewalks in decent condi-
ton" will wreck the prospects of any town in a
short time.
Fire Limits.
One of the most important functions of muni-
cipal government is the protection of the people,
against losses by fire and it seems to me that the
time has come when it would be well for the
Borough Council to prohibit the erection offrame
buildings within certain limits Councils are
given legal authority to do this by the Act of
June Sd, 1885, and said Act has been pronounced
constitutional by the Supreme Court. Several
large hotels, the Post Office Bank and nearly all
our principal business houses are situated in one
solid section and the erection ofwooden buildings
IN the near proximity is a standing menace
which it seems unwise to ignore. Any town
where such q condition exists is surely large
enough and important enough to justify the
adoption of such an ordinance. The enforce
ment of such an ordinance work no injury
or hardship to anyone as the cost of II brick
building is but trifle more than the cost of a
good wooden building of the same size when the
difference in the cost of insurance, painting and
other items are taken into consideration OF
course, am aware that any brick, stone or So
called fireproof building will burn, but they do
not take fire readily, neither do they when in
confiagration endanger every other building in
the neighborhood do wooden buildings. If
an occasional individual should deem himself
aggrieved by the passage of such an ordinance it
would be a matter of very little importance as
the restriction of some ofthe rights and privileges
of individuals for the benefit of the community
forms one ofthe principles without the opera
ton of which there could be no municipal law or
government whatever.
