AT different times of late we have

in our town and the citifed appear
ance it is taking on and hustling that

But, at the same time, we are woe
fully lacking in some respects. One
thing our city needs and needs badly,
is sewerage system. This has been
long needed and our town cannot at
tain to its proper growth until we do
have sewerage. We would be glad to
see the City Fathers take this matter
up, and in taking it up, push it to a
successful finish. With all the other
public conveniences such as splendid
water works system, both gas and
electric lighting and so on, we most
certainly ought to have a complete
sewerage system. Let US keep this
in mind and see what can be done.
