HARVEY ORDERED TO
SHOW TEETH''

The above caption appeared
IN a recent article in referring TO
the attitude of America with res
pect to the questions involved In
the Upper Silesia controversy.
1t IS very gratifying to see this
government taking a positive at
titude with respect to all world
questions, SO that it's own people
and the world may know where
they stand The administration
at first looked as if it did not
know just where it was headed.
but 1t seems now to have gained
It's sea-legs and knows definitely
where it is going. That is the
attitude which appeals to the
American people, for Uncle Sam
has the reputation Of doing things
and making things happen when
he takes hold, and we want to
see that reputation maintained
throughout the world.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1921-05-20
o make some suggestions to the

to make some suggestions to the
new.
We believe it would be a good
idea if a specific duty were as
signed to each commissioner, and
his assignment made known to
the public. We would suggest
a Commissioner on Finance, one
on Streets, one on Public Works
lights and Water) with the
fourth member as Clerk, and the
Mayor with supervision over the
whole.
/ If these specific duties were
put under the supervision Of one
particular commissioner, then
the public would know whom to
call upon when they were inter-
ested in any particular matter.
We believe it would avoid a great
deal Of confusion, insure greater
efficiency, and give better SER
vice to the public. At the same
time the responsibility for neg
lect, Or lack of service, could BE-
placed by the Mayor and the
public. The public has RIGHT to
know who is responsible for GER
tain things, and they have a right
ITO expect service
J We said we had no specific
:criticism to make Of the old
board. We retract that state
ment. We have a direct crit.
cism to make, and that is the
shameful neglect Of the streets.
through lack Of running a drag
over them and permitting deep,
and at times, almost impossible
holes to develope. If the town
would only purchase a good large
pair Of mules, wagon, and ca
pable man to do the work, and
tlnuous work on the streets, and
cleaning up the town, we would
present a very different appear
ance, and have streets maintain
ed the year around in a fairly
good condition, considering the
icharacter Of the soil. We pass
this suggestion on to the new
board.

The question of leaving q grass
: plot through the business section OF
, the town when these blocks are paved
was brought up in a meeting of The
Board Of Trade as stated in Wednes-
days Commonwealth.
The vote stood five for grass and
four against grass, and really these
five are the only ones up to this writ
ing that I have been able to find w;.1
really wants grass, and one Of these
has since expressed himself as doubt
ing the wisdom of such needless dec
Grafton
At least five and four cannot decide
this question satisfactorily for all the
people.
! We are blessed with a wide nice
street capable of taking care Of the
traffic if it is not muti1ated with
flower gardens and beauty spots to
he absolute destruction Of all traffic
convenience and the best interest OF
the business public.
/ To leave this grass garden which
really means no grass garden at all
will eliminate all parking of cars on
Main street and>this would choke uI
the narrow side streets SO that pas
sage on them would be impossible, be-
sides the inconvenience Of parking
cars SO far from the business houses.
If cars are allowed to park on Main
street every time one backs out fol
starting, the narrow paved space will
be blocked and naturally many wrecks
will be the result.
One garage man said today it would
be the best thing ever happened fol-
the automobile repair shop.
| 1t would be impossible to keep grass
on these plots in the business sec,1on
as walking people would cross RICH,
over them, the inevitable result would
be unpaved streaks Of dirt and mud
in the middle Of the street with a pro
nounced feature Of Inconvenience to
every one.
We have tried this center row stuff
and most Of us know what a nuisance
! 1t was, tending as it did to isolate one
side from the other and causing q
world Of trouble for the traffic and
business interests generally.
Other towns are handicapped by
narrow streets, let's not throw away
our advantage in this.
! Flower gardens in the business sec
tion of town is lfHe stalling COW
IN parlor or bright red neck tie on
a working man wearing overalls. Z,
may do for dreaming and highly tun
ed imaginations, but it will not work
in practice.
Give traffic elbow room and allow
our business interests to eniov y
broad nice street with no hinderances
nor impediments in the center.
Some are Of the opinion that these
vacant spots in the street will save
US money. This is not true, for curb
ing and the additional work around
them will cost about as much as &C
pave all over.
We do not want any vacant plotting
in the center Of the street nor any
other plotting about the street Mot
ting. We first want a plain roomy
business street with all the advantages
unrestricted.
Now don t leave this for "George
TO 90 it, but get busy yourself and
make racket that can t be overlook
ed nor Quilted until we get this thorn
out Of our thumb.
IT you believe like I do, tell the
town officials at once before s. ;s too

Editor Commonwealth:

Editor Commonwealth:
In reply to your Editorial of yes
terday's issue entitled, "The Duty of
one property owner to another,' we
wish to take issue with you on some
! of the statements made therein.
When we opened business last Nov
ember. We opened without fear or
favor, but we also opened with de
! sire te deal fair and square with our
fellow man and our competitors as well.
| We also opened business with a sin
cere intention Of paying all just de-
mands that might be made upon us
from time to time for the good Of our
| town and its inmates.
! In reply to your statements: eve
are reliably informed by the secretary
Of the Merchant s association that on
| ly one property owner or store pro
iprietor on the block in which the fire
! started last night contributes to the
salary Of the night watchman,' we
wish to say that although we are not
members Of the Merchants Assocfa-
! ton, we are, and have always been,
willing to contribute to this gooc
cause and the only reason that we
have not contributed before is because
Of the fact that the Secretary mas
never called upon us for a contribu
ton.
We feel that it is shame and that
lit is a reflection upon our town that
our night Waterman receives such an
reasonably small salary for his ser
vices, and we wish to take this op-
Iportunity Of calling to the minds OF
the people Of our town that ''The
laborer is worthy Of his hire,'' and
II We personally feel that our night
Waterman should receive a mucn lar
ger salary for his services in safe
guarding our property while we sleep.
Now, as to contributing to this
cause we, (And we feel sure that the
others on this block are always ready
i to give our ''Pro rata'' if the Secre-
| tary of the Merchant s Association
will only call upon US for it.
! AS to it being. "Shame and
great injustice'' to other propertv
owners for any one Of them to refuse
or neglect to pay their part towards
this expense, we wish to say that we
| feel that this statement is in itself
unfair, inasmuch as it was plainly
stated that only one man OH this block
contributed to this cause, and that this
matter should have been investigated,
and the reason for our not contriDu-
ting learned before this editorial was
printed.
We again want to assure you, (And
through the columns Of your paper to
assure the public) that we possess our
part Of 'Public spirit,' and it is for
this reason that we are replying to you
