1esterday was the beginning of the

ally begin their business year with the

In our county government we all re-
alize that the present board has great
task ahead of it III the supervision of

wishes the board the utmost success
and has no desire to hamper it by un-
just and uncalled for criticism. We
trust that the affair with the sheriff
and the unfortunate bond sale will
teach the board that there is safety
only in sticking right 10 the law and
IN doing only the absolutely honest and
business like thing, If the board will
follow closely to this line of conduct
they need have no fear of criticism
either from The REVIEW or from the
voters.
The people of Denison have reason to
expect much of the present council.
The members have all served before
and have had ample time to become
thoroughly acquainted, not only with
the duties of their office but with the
conditions and needs of the city.
Owing to tie approaching visit of the

ing should be commenced at once and
prosecuted with vigor. Special atten-
ton should be paid to the business
streets and crossings. this portion of
the city is used by everyone and is the

Main Street and Broadway present a
sorry condition during at least eight

the city. Money spent in the resident
