CONyICTs ON THE STREETS.

The cons" will be worked on the
streets.
And why shouldn't they?
The wonder is that the people have
not come forward and demanded this
years ago.
The working of forty or fifty con-
victs on the streets will not rob labor
of a single dollar. The city will pay
to home labor every month more mon
ey than before.
But the city will have the advantage
of extra labor worth hundred dol
lars day, which it could under no
circumstances afford to pay for
During the past year the city has
paid about $4,000 for street salaries and
labor. This year it will spend little
more, but it will have in addition free
labor to the value of 100000, or $4,000,
If it is asked for and used.
Under wise and energetic manage
ment this city can be made the clean
est and prettiest small city in the
United States. She can be made to
sparkle and blossom like a rose gar
den.
The cons" are always with us. we
have always had all the disgrace that
comes to penitentiary town, with
none of the benefits. Why not make
the most of it and clean the town up
and make her shine?
There has never been any argument
against using con- labor on the
streets and roads, but sentiment, and
few raise that any more.
The CONS" will be worked and the

FOR A new WARD.
Councilman Holidays Plans to Take
Care OF New Territory.

A new ward, a Seventh, is the pro-
position which Councilman c. K. Hol-
liday wants the city to incorporate into
an ordinance.
Il shall present a resolution at the
next council meeting in which the
streets and walks committee of the
council will be instructed to take up
this matter, . said MI. Holiday. THE
streets and walks committee will be
given full power under the resolution
to go into this matter thoroughly and
to report to the council. I have no
scheme on foot for redistricting the
wards. I have this suggestion to
make-that another ward be created.
Take that fourth precinct of the Sec
ond ward and 1t has more people than
there are in the Sixth ward. That's
not right. The wards should be of
size that will give every one of them
the right representation in the council.
The wards should be divided on a line
or in such a way that they will
radiate out from say, Kansas avenue.
This would give all of them a chance
to grow equally. The Fourth ward is
hemmed in now SO that there is no
the Fifth and it spreads out all over
the south part of town. think we
should have another ward
In view of the fact that Mr.. Holli-
day will in all likelihood be a candidate
for MAYOR a year hence his opinions
are looked on with great deal of in
terest. The changes of the ward
boundaries may play a quite impor-
tant part in the political game
VIM. Greens who is considered as a
probable candidate for mayer, is
against the creation of an additional
ward. ''I would rather see the num-
Der reduced than to see another ward
added sad he Il hope that the
council will not add another ward
That's a mistake. I don't think there
is any crying need for redistricting
the wards though there may be some
thing in this matter of representation.
I grant that the people have a right
to expect and demand adequate repre-
sentation. I presume now would be a
better time than any for taking this
up Though I don't think there is a
heavy demand for it."
st think that it is a good time to
take it UP and that something should
be done.'' said F. F. Nipps. chairman
of the streets and walks committee.
1.-THE election is over and it is a good
ways vet to the fall election and if any
thing is going to be done. it should be
done now. I don't believe that
would favor increasing the number but
think that the boundaries of some of
these wards could be changed to an
advantage. The Second ward ought to
be cut down and a piece added on to

FIRST or FLOWER THIEVES.
Cary johnson Reports Depredations at
His Home ON Quincy Street.

Cary Johnson, who lives at sos
Quincy street is the first to report
the depredations of flower thieves so
far this summer. His flower beds
have suffered from the depredations Of
these vandals several times of late and
as he has been unable to get relief
from any other source he is preparing
to take the matter into his own hands
and see if there is no way by which
he can protect the beauty of his lawn
and flower beds.
In speaking of the depredations
which We're persisted in last year and
which have commenced so early this
spring he said: Il do not want. to i'm

liable to be provoked enough to do
most anything. / believe in beauty
ing the city, and I want to do my part,
or little more but this is poor en-
couragement for person. 1t may be
that these depredations are committed
by thoughtless children but I am of

by vandals who have no thought of
