IF NOT, WHY. NOT?

Supervisor Petrie's address to the AID Club
yesterday was able and in many respects logical,
but it is open to fair criticism Ontseyera points.
He said there must be a permanent city
plan" completed before the frontage-tax can be
enforced, and pointed out the necessity for get
ting the proper grades, laying the storm-sewers,
water-mains and other underground utilities.
Whether he meant to or not, he gave the impress
sion that the supervisors wish to delay action
until this permanent city plan is finished.
We would ask Mr.. Petrie if there are not a
number of sections of the city where this pre-
liminary work has already been done and where
the frontage-tax can be put into operation prac-
tically at once. Why should these sections wait
until in the dim future, the overworked and I'M
'dermanned city engineering department COM

not, why not?
