City Regulator
Some Further
Suggestions are Made.
To the EDITOR Of the Eagle:

Suggestions are MADE.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:
There is a general impression among
our people that the little glass globes
put in different places in the city for
contributions, are for the children's or
phan home OF our city. Its a mistake.
They were placed there by the state
agent. No one knows where the money
goes-at least We know that it don't go
TO our own orphans home on the Hill.
| Charity begins at home. and you may
rest assured that your contributions
placed ia the hands Of our own wives
and daughters, viii go straight to the
mark.
would instruct the county officers
not to recognize any further proceedings
from that fellow and his wife who have
made an arrest of another little girl and
/ discovered mares nest in the country
the stealing of orphansi Stop that
! needless cost. II they want to play TO
the gallery to hold their job. let them
try some other town
Poor health still seems 10 prevail
among lot Of the golf players. The mi
/ crobe seems to have grown more and
more virulent, and the victim plays the
harder.
/ I would see that the street car company
/ furnished enough cars mornings and
evenings, especially Of evenings. TO &C
| commodate the people who desire to ride
There is no excuse on earth for compel
ling people to stand up in a car, damned
in like sardines in box, and an impro-
vised conductor showing and pulling the
passengers around in a frantic endeavor
to collect fares in order TO be able to fall
of at the first switch to be able TO re-
peat the same thing on the next car by
going back TO meet it, while the pasen-
gers are rubber-necking to catch their
street. When it is dak. the name of the
street ought to be announced, either by
the motorneer or the conductor.
I would appoint a milk inspector. There
until an epidemic breaks out, caused
by a diseased dairy. 1t would pay the
waterworks company.
I would establish a pasteurized milk
station and creamery.
would organize business mans club
and elect Finlay Ros general manager.
would compel the city to be as prompt
in putting in the intersections and cross
ings, where they are required. as it is in
letting contracts to the anti-cement side
walk trust.
I woul remove all the granite blocks at
the corner of Main and Douglas and
put in asphalt If it is better to have
some of it asphalt. it is best to have /
all of it asphalt.
7 would certainly have a different state |
of affairs in the city engineering depart |
ment. The next generation of children /
will all be cross-eyed, or have the rick |
cts, trying to follow the streets and side |
walks as they twist in and out and up /
and down.
East First street is one of the hand
soonest streets in the city. but that bridge |
across the creek had to be put in whop- |
per-jawed to keep up the cross-eyed rec
ord of engineering.
I would see that the city library is kept /
open eight hours a day and the hours of
from y until 2, were included in that
time. There are a number of people who
want to 20 there to read during these
hours. There are two Librarians. There
is no valid reason or excuse why the
library should not be kept open.
I would require the county treasurer
not only to publish his quarterly state
ment OF amount Of funds N the banks,
but name of the banks in which the funds
are deposited. the amount n each bank
together with the last sworn statement
of the bank.
If were a girl would not make guy
of myself If rode a bicycle by leaning
over on low handle bars.
I would organize a humane society.
There is an urgent demand for one. The
poor horses on our streets cry out for
1t daily.
The worst giveaway to Wichita that
know Of is the lining up of teams along
the edge Of the sidewalk, tied 70 poles,
posts. sign posts. hydrants. bulletin
boards. or Misunderstanding that
strap can be fastened to. When VIII IL
be stopped?
Now that Seneca street has been graded
lp so nicely. the West Side Improvement
society ought to show their apprecia-
ion of the work that has been done. and :
plant trees on either side, from the bridge
20 Mayor McLean's residence.
How people win be hoodwinked The
