Several days ago office officials OF
the Wabash were in Omaha conduct
ing traffic negotiations with the
Union Pacific, and It was at once
said that Hartman and George
Gould might once more come together
on transcontinental business, now
that the Western Pacific is SO close
to completion.

Pacific between Omaha and Kansas

CONCERNING IMPROVEMENTS

There has been another lull In thC
matter Of pushing public improve
ments in the city. since the adoption
of the grade ordinance and the formal
signing of contracts for the improve
ments on Ohio and Twenty-eighth
streets. There have been reaaons
for this and the ardent friends Of
progress in the city will make due
allowance for them. Doubtless there
will be fresh start in a little while
and a hard pun and push to make
up for lost time.
Probably it will be impossible 70
20 through all the processes prescrib'
ed by law, 10 bring the improvements
asked for by the Cairo & Thebes rail
road company TO a point where the
Cairo Dredging e. Contracting Co can

desired. But one would think IT pos
sible that some arrangement can be
agreed upon which will permit this 20
be done, and thus prevent delays that
might be seriously injurious to the
interests CT these companies The i'm.
provements asked for by the Cairo &
Thebes people will involve sewering.
street filing and street paving which
should be a part Of the general sys-
tenn Of Improvements of this kind
which has been so successfully in.
augurated; and under the state law
the work must be ordered and accom-
plished by certain routine which will
consume many weeks of time. The
sewering desired should be part Of
the general system of lateral sewers
upcn which the city engineer has
been at work for some time and which
he will be prepared to present to the
Board of Local improvements in the
near future. The same may be said
Of the street filing while the paving
proposition will embrace both Wash
ington and Commercial avenues from
end to end.
Thus far good progress has been
made lin public improvements this
year AS stated by the mayor at the
smoker" given by Mr. Smith last
week. East St Louis has been five
years preparing TO build its big sewer
and has gotten but little farther along
In the big project than we have in one
year. But no fault is to be found
with any manifestation of impatience
by the people. for this Indicates a
disposition IN the part of the people
such as must prevail if Improvements
are to carried through successfully on
an extensive scale: and no doubt
those in authority will exert them
selves TO satisfy the public clamor.
Six months still remain Of the
present city administration. during
which much may be done in fact all
may be done that can be done. in the

TOWN MEETING.

At the annual meeting of the town OF
Eden, which closed Wednesday of last
week after three-days' session, the sum
of $4,000 was appropriated, the largest
amount in the history of the town. On
the last day of the meeting the sutomo-
bile question came up again on a motion
to reconsider the action taken Tuesday,
when a vote was passed extending the
limits within which automobiles may be
used in the town. After lively discus
sion on Wednesday the action taken Tues
day was reversed.
Another important vote passed Wednes-
day was that by which it was decided to
elect separate board Of assessors, as pro-
vided by an act of he last legislature. A
motion to elect board OF road commits
sioners was defeated.
A motion to hire $4,000 for permanent
Improvements on the roads was lost after
lengthy discussion.
The following resolution, offered by l.
B. Deasy, was passed: Resolved, That q
committee of five be appointed by the
moderator to consider the establishment
of salaries or compensation of selectmen
and assessors; said committee to report
with recommendations at the next annual
town meeting. L. B. Deasy, Joseph Stew
ems, Bloomfield Higgins, Frank E. Whit
more and E. n. Benson were appointed on
the committee.
