STREETS ARE
VERY COSTLY
And Town Gets Little to Show for
Money Expended-Still No Po-
licemen.

Maryville, a town of about 10000
population, still has no police officer
whose sole duties are those of a
patrolmen, to work on the streets of
Maryville day or night. And
booze is still sold, the streets are
still being blocked, and traffic is be-
ing delayed. One prominent bust
ness man said Monday morning, that
by his watch he was delayed twenty
minutes by an automobile blocking
the street in front of the new build
ing being erected on Main street.
Over half of the street is filled up
with building material, and there is
not much room left there for travel.
But he timed himself, and said he
waited TWENTY MINUTES.
The crowd on Main street last Sat-
urday night was not as large as on
the preceding Saturday night. May
be,--we do not knowAbut maybe
folks thought they would have no
protection in case of street scraps,
and thus they. preferred I'd stay at
VI who has been in
public life many years, said last Fri
day when he came round to "crawp
us for criticizing the council in not
affording police protection, that the
town had grown so rapidly "they
just couldn't cope with the situa-
ton" He said that the town hasn't
the money to employ policemen, as
it is used in keeping up the streets.
For the love of Mike, where are the
streets kept up? There was enough
manure on Main street then to fer
tilize a large strip of land, and
gentlemen and ladies haduu Il walk
around or on tlaSe one
rslde of the1Se=o ot -
streets of the taVn are
the cutters are hoked up with
and grass, and some places while
the dew is fresh, pedestrians get
their clothes damp walking along the
sidewalks in some parts of town, be-
cause the town does not keep its
side of the walk clear and does not
require property owners to clear the
other side.
1t takes a pile of money to get the
little amount Of street work done
that is, done, if that's where it goes,
as the alderman said, and from ap-
pearances one can't see what else
becomes of it. And the work
that is done is not worth the wages
paid the men.

lection. A visitor in town few
