in the thToes 81 gang Of burglars
that are operating together. During
the past week number OF small
burglaries have occurred. The
residence Of Earl Hammonds in
West Hickman was entered and
about 50 taken. The residence Of
J. (. Fuqua and DIR. p. B. Curtin
we're attempted and a number Of
others thought they heard noises
about their premises at wee hours
in the day. A Mr.. Davis who runs
a lunch stand near the College was
held up by four masked men one
night while on bis way home. Ills
presence Of mind probably save him
from being robbed Of about a hun
dred dollars. He ran and shot at
the men. Il would be we'll. in our
opinion, for a vigilance committee TO
be formed and have some watches
in the various parts OF the city.
Perhaps some Of this night prowling
can be stopped. When the situation
gets as bad as 1t has now gotten il
is time for something 10 be done.

ORDINANCE NO. 81.

Elsewhere in this paper appears the
ordinance adopted at the council meet
ing Tuesday night, fixing the grades OF
the streets in the city which hitherto
have had no legal grade: 1t is to be
Regretted that this ordinance could
not be passed without causing bitter
disappointment TO number Of very
estimable citizens. but is not at all
likely that these will not permit the
matter to embitter their lives. Those
in authority probably did what was
wisest under all the circumstance
at any rate they feel that they did SO
1t was impossible to satisfy all con
cerned; some had to yield and It was
best that they should do that which
would cause least Inconvenience alg
expense to those affected.
All citizens must realizssthat such
an ordinance was. absolutely neaes-
sary for the future progress Of the
city, for no step could be taken toward
the improvement of any of the low
streets of the city without first fixing
its grade; and the grade of one street
must necessarily depend upon that
Of another. The ordinance seems 10
have been prepared with great care
and with reference TO the present and
prospective conditions on all the
streets affected by IT some weeks were
spent in ascertaining the exact state
of things and due weight was given
TO all the circumstances that might
properly have a bearing in determin-
ing its provisions, The purpose being
always to fix the surface of the city so
that a system of improvements could
be carried into effect, which should
make Cairo pleasant and above all
a healthy city There is reason to be
lieye that this purpose has been gain
ed or will be gained when all that
the ordinance provides for and points
to has been accomplished.
Now that this very important mat
ter has been settled, the work of or
derng improvements may proceed
The lateral sewer system may be
planned and the estimates Of cost Of
filling the low streets may be made
and submitted 10 the Board Of Local
improvement We may reasonably ex-
pect 10 see some energetic work by
the city authorities between now and
the first of the year. and we may all
forget our little grievances in con
temptation of the great work that viii
lift our city rapidly out Of physical
condition which, to say the least. is
not conclusive to the attainment Of
high moral ideals.
