Extend Corporation Lines.


The time has arrived for the City
fathers to seriously consider extrn-
sion Of the corporation limits. so as
to include appr~ciabIe suburban
property
Many of these residences were
erected years ago, and have been de
nied the benefits Of municipal utili-
ties, because. up to this time. their
tax revenue would not have justified
the extension Of city bounds with
attendant improvements. Now,
however. the matter is different.
Within the past few years, a mum
Der ef splendid residences have gone
up Just outside the corporation.
The owners Of This property are
entitled to be taken under the city :
wing in tie formation Of greater
Aberdeen. and the town, to do itself
justice, demands this addition to its
population, which has accrued 10y
reason of the city : thrift and prog
ress.
This is the first time the Weekly
has, or could have favored extension
Of the corporation lines It nov be-
lieves the move imperative. because
of the increased suburban popula-
ton and the value of its property.
1t believes, in justice to the people
who have invested their money 30

to them the benefits Of municipal
utilities, and make them full tledged

well as ours In taking this step,
Aberdeen would do only what other
cities have done that have outgrown
their bounds. Chicago. New York
and Memphis have done 50, and
what those metropolitan centers
have done, Aberdeen can profitably
afford To initiate.
The Weekly commends the early
extension Of the city lines u include
suburban property within reasonable
limits, and trusts the Mayor and
board of aldermen will seriously in
| vestigate at the earliest moment.
Officials of the internal revenue
bureau of the treasury department,

the opinion that prohibition increase
violation of internal revenue laws
in the distillation of Illicit whiskey.
The conclusion has been reached by
com pairing the mum Der of arrests
made during years, when prohibi-
ton was not prevalent, with the
number made during recent years,
the number increasing as the pro-
/ hibition field has become ex-
tended. The result isa natural Sc
quence. but in no way establishes
that prohibition does not lessen
crime and drunkenness.
