PUSHING IMPROVEMENTS.

There was some protest at the Mer
chants Luncheon Saturday against
pushing street improvements too
hard. 1t was feared that the burdens
fall too heavily upon the owners OF
property, especially those who hal
homes unpaid for. Both Judge Com
ings and Mr. Aisthorpe spoke in this
strain and their suggestion deserves
respectful consideration, even though
it is not backed up by any protes's
from the people in whose behalf it is
made, because it is the suggestion of
the conservative business man.
1t stands to reason that the wishes
of the people who are to foot the bills
ought to be considered, and when a
majority of them in any given locality
offer a protest, they should be given a
hearing and the protest needed. pro-
vided II is reasonable and does not
operate TO do injustice to others.
AS yet there has been no protest to
Speak of from the middle or poorer
classes of property owners, and the
Board of Local improvements has had
every reason to believe that the senti.
ment for sewer building. street filing
and street paving was practically
unanimous among the people. But
aside from this fact there are several
good reasons why these street i'm
provements should be pushed to com
pletion as rapidly as possible:
First, the state law is now favor
able and ii may at any time he
changed so that systematic work of
this character will again be impossi.
BILE, as 1t was for many years Sec
ondly, the people who have had their
streets paved have a right to protec-
ton from the dirt and dust brought
upon their pavements from the IN
paved streets; also from the increas.
ed wear and tear on their streets, by
reason of the concentration of traffic
upon them resulting from leaving
other streets unpaved
These considerations will be diff.

ing it stop entirely from one cause or
another. But one thing all citizens
concerned have a right to look for
