This will allay this ''two-bit' superstt-

Mr.. L. Cambre is negotiating for
the John Dachroth property in

Since our recent article In the Keo-
kuk Daily Gate City urging our city
council members to provide us with
a park, the Nauvoo Rustler is also
boosting for it.
| The Nauvoo Grape Growers again
met in the council rooms last Satur-
! day evening and adjourned to meet
again next Saturday night, giving
time to the appointed committee to
arrange constitution and bylaws.
Twenty growers have so far agreed
ito join the growers shipping associa-
ton and stick until they find out if It
| is more profitable or not to ship
their own product.
We cannot see why our city author
tiles do not accept Mr.. Chas. Mulch's
proposition to open Thirteenth street
| to the river. A delay in this matter
may prove costly Mr. Mulch's liber-
al offer to donate the land that the
j street runs through is indeed com
mendable one. Your reporter has been
informed that a fine steamboat wharf
and warehouses will be built at the
foot OF this street. Can the city of
Nauvoo afford to let this opportunity
slip by when 1t means SO much to the
business interest of the city and to
our citizens? 1t would take only ten
blocks of distance to put in order for
traffic and plenty Of material at
hand and when ten blocks of sidewalk
would be laid to the river front 1t
would make fine thoroughfare and a
convenient one for our citizens, visi-
tors and excursionists. If the old coun-
Gil members will not act in this mat
ter now, let the new ones 20 be in
laugurated next May, take 1t up the
first thing at the first business meet

4 Nauvoo's city council at recent
4
meeting passed an extended fire lin
its ordinance and we thought u 700
silly to comment on or make mention
of it in these columns. Since then our
mayor vetoed the ordinance after
hearing many dissenting voices from
4 our citizens. There is plenty of work
for the members to accomplish for
the good of Nauvoo besides passing
Ordinances that does not meet the ap-
Iproval of the citizens.
L The reporter and the keokuk Daily
} Gate City received numerous compli
