Permanent Improvement.

Due to the fact that the main
aud principal opposition made to
the present council, was to their
progresslveness and businsss-like
tendencies and inclination 10 good,
permanent improvements, many of
our people who have progressive
ideas and business foresight, are
asking why 50 much delay in TAX
ing up the matter of cement side
walks in at least the principal
streets, aud We believe their COM
plant is reasonable, we have fol-
lowed too far back tho more pro.
gressive communities and AS the
election tight against the present
council vas made on the cement
sidewalk especially, and won, We
feel that it Is the duty of the Coun-
Gil to give our people what is due
them as they have elected the
council on that particular subject
1t would DO folly to expect the
whole town to be built at one time,
but we are of the opinion and the
charter and state laws provide for
the building of sidewalks where
they are needed.
Main streets should be built from
tho property of Mr.. +. L. Gull
beau to the Southern limit. Bridge
street from the Western limit to
Cemetery, st. Martin street from
Port to The Court house, Column
bia street from Bridge to the Rail-
road, Port from Western limit to
the bayou and New Market street
from Bridge to Port.
These street should be made in
cement and without delay,
The town authorities have deci.
dsd to build all culverts in thing
aud all crossings should also be
built in concrete.
Wooden crossings and side.
walks are expensive at any price
as they are only temporary, We
favor permanent improvements.

A GOOD MOVE.
L. O. HACKER

The Board of Health in adop.
ting its rules, has ordered that af-
ter September 18TH, no hogs will
be permitted within the Corporate
limits of st. Martinville, which
action has caused some criticism
for the reason that some limits
should have ben established in
favor of those having largo pro-
psrtiss on outskirts of the town.
We admit that this rule may
cause some hardship to few per-
sons, but this will DO nothing COM
pared to the general good that will
result from the enforcement Of
this rule. Sons decisive mea-
sures had to be taken, our people
were allowed too much latitude to
do just as they pleased regardless
of sanitary measures and the con-
whence of their neighbors.
We need many more measures
to improve tho condition of the
town, aud the Board of Health
should consider but one thing in
their good work aud that is to
make our town clean and health
and We can assure them that they
will have the full support of ths
town authorities.
