system until such time as the city is in
position to take up the matter. An ar
rangement Of the sort proposed, if made
speedily and if supported as we believe
it will be, must be an evidence of public
spirit, and as such it will be recognized
by all who are interested in the develop
ment Of the town. The sun Of II per
month, the estimated cost to each sub
scriber for keeping the streets and al
leys i'll a sanitary condition, will not be

will subscribe to the plan. Surely NOT
too much to pay for the safety of the
subscribers and for the good Of all who
are unable to pay. Let the matter be
pushed.
