Mest SIDE and are compelled to go al me
way each day. To them this means 2
great deal in unreasonable weather. All
this hardship forced upon our fellow-citi-
zens for. the sake of FILLING and gradins
two blocks. Why should these taxpayers
and home builders be considered less
worthy OF the benefits Of city improve
ments? While II is stated their taxes dc
not amount to much, yet, when you con.
slider they are building homes, paying
taxes and supporting families out of their
small earnings, they are contributing much
e. the city and are worthy as much con
slderation as the citizens that are Twins

OF course, as above stated, it is said
their taxes do not amount to much. Well

progressive citizens about paving two
blocks on o street, but every cross street
from A street TO the county line and from
Twenty-fourth to Thirteenth should meet
early attention, while all efforts should be
c~entered at the present time to force
through M. n, o. p, and q to Thirteenth.
and the grading of all five of those streets
would not amount to the expense of one
grading Of Twenty-fourth street.
