DO SOMETHING.

Editor THE COMMONWEALTH II am
glad to hear that Scotland Neck
has three thousand dollars In the treas
ury and yet am not very much sur
prlsed, for I do not see where much
money has been spent on the streets
for the last year.
think some of this town money
could be wisely spent on the town

and weeds and looks more like rabbit

the back lots be looked after, and the

Of fever and yellow chills caused by
these places, it will not take doctor
to tell that 1t Will be great deal worse
than all of the small pox In Scotland
Neck for the last twenty years.
And the town stock law should be en-
forced or repealed. The public wells
on Main street are out of fix at least
half of the time. Some of the best
pumps are out of order every two or
three days, and some are worn out,
old aud nearly rotten and filled up
with dirt, rotten wood and worms, and
some OF the public wells on Main street
are without any pumps right in the
business part of the town.
What would the merchants do in
case OF fire late at night? It's a won
der to me that the Insurance Compan-
les don't call in their policies and not
take the risk they do on account OF the
very poor water supply on Main street
and little protection against fire.
Not even night Waterman to guard
the interests of the town while We are
asleep.
1t would not cost very much to fix
up the wells and put on nightwatch-
man. 1 believe the wells should be
fixed up or filled up. And it does seem
to me that when men put themselves
in places to do certain things for the
public they should do it or be so kind
as to get out and let some come in who
will.
