aments in cur city this season, and It'll
BIS we'll TO remember that strangers
Syisitinp us with an intention of IN
Wrestling, first inquire as to the baslst
aof taxation, the rate levied, thel
8bonded indie btedness and the generalt
Atred of those in control. as to the III
] creased expenditures and hence mi
5creased taxes. Are we not maxim q:
Sprogress along the line OF taxation asG
Irapidly as we should and until assur l
3ed nf increased taxation we should
mot increase the cost OF government
y Suggestion has been made that thes
aCorporate Limits should be extendeds
jsav as far as Wilson Avenue running
Xeast and west and TO the @. V. X. Il.
drumming south from the present south
4western line, running south with Southl
2Oueen street lnterseeting Wilson Ave
znue. Why not enlarge our borders,
Awith the streets opened and graded,
3with Electric Lights projected into
Nthc Boom Land, there will be manv|
xhaeses built and the contested part
I OF the city relieved.
3 We hail with big welcome, the
astar.ing of building Association on

gsociations which lacked the specula-
atlve, get rich quick features, but
(which was the material tobuild up the
town. help the man of moderate
smeans to get his own home, makes
8the waste places blossom as the rose.
aMay it be successful and we think
Awith the gentlemen at its head 1T
Twill be a go from the start.
q With the large increase in the pop
xulation on what is known as the
Boom Land. the question of street
srailway.is again being talked of. When
sfrss built to Elkins Park. no pop-
ulation was beyond the Corporate
II Limits and onlv passengers to and
Afrom the Park were carried. Now
Sthere are many families living south
fnf west Stephen street, not only by
xthe side of the turnpike but on the
savenues and streets between the Turn
splke and BoydYIlle extending we'll to-.
fwards W ilsun Avenue. and if means
q. transportation could be had no
doubt many more buildings would be
built if the cars would run mp KING
Sstreet and then by Winchester Avenue
Ato Wilson Avenue then east on WILL
ason Avenue until the old right of way
ais reached, then.bv the same back to-
4King street, route touching all of
Sthe improvementsAl that direction
would be covered and no doubt that
i 1t would nav reasonable return from
s3the very start
g It mav he urged that the street cars
scould not use the Turnpike, because
s}the stock holders would not permit
Much use. There can hardly be a
Gdoubt on the subject Ter there is plen-
%ty room for the car line and for a
Nwagon track, and as the TurnpiGe is
Gin eylstance for tn purpose of max
ng money. no doubt they would be
ain tagor " anuexlng fol the use of
Z. their road bed.
a What great day it will be to this
Igood old town when the conductor
Tagaln calls out in the square. All
saboar FOR Wilson avenue.
q All aboard for North Martinsburg.
NHasten the dawning of that day.
n Much has been said IN some papers
Eof our city about New Court House
Sbecause this one is not busted and
Egarnished as 1t should be, because per
kchance there is some odor not pleas
Mant to sensitive nostrils. The CRY

Eheads of some people and also go into
Mthe columns Of some papers-the rem.
Eedy is. have thess custodian discharge
. his duties as he should or send the
EGrand Jury after him. Then apply
