AVERSE TO LINDEN
AVENUE IMPROVEMENT
Suggests Other More Important
Thoroughfares Should Have
Prior Consideration.

Dear Editor:-
Please allow me space in your pa
per to enter protest against the pro
posed improvement of Linden avenue
First permit me to congratulate
you upon the sentiment expressed in
your article of June 18th relative to
the unwise expenditure of approx
mately $4,000 for this enterprise.
Being a woman possibly my voice
in the matter will carry very little
weight but remembering the legend OF
the mighty. oak which throve and
grew from tiny acorn l am encouf-
aged to plant the seed and await the
hoped for results.
First, last and always | am for the
Improvement and development of Po-
comoke City but in all matters of this
kind it is only just and right that the
people who pay for these improve
ments should have voice and not let
so momentous a decision rest with one
OIL possibly four of it's citizens.
If l understand correctly our money
without our consent is to be used in
the building Of sewer on Linden
avenue beginning at Second street
extending down said avenue to Front
street and thence through the swamp
to the Pocomoke river. The proposed
improvement is very commendable no
doubt, and it will benefit few people
but are we justified in spending this
sum when the money is so badly need
ed elsewhere? To my mind, and [
think / voice the sentiment of the ma
jority of our citizens, this is not only
ali unwise expenditure just at this
time but it is one which should not
even be considered until other far
more important improvements are
made.
Take for instance Walnut street.
This is one of the prettiest residential
sections of our town. The people liv-
ing on Walnut street extended have
done all in their power to make it at
tractive and thoroughfare of which
we may all feel justly proud. The
sewerage system extends from Clarke
avenue to Fifth street, distance of
about three blocks. The residents of
Walnut street extended have petit
toned again and again, but with no
apparent results, that sewer be laid
beyond this line so that the tax pay
ers in this section reap some of the
benefits which the corporate limits of
our town allow. The majority Of these
people who own their own homes,
which are modern up-to-date build
ings equipped with bath rooms, been
waiting for years for sewerage sys-
ten. The nearest fire plug is too far
away to be of service to the residents.
Surely this important thoroughfare
should have the priority over Linden
avenue.
| would suggest Mr.. Mayor and
City Council that a meeting be held
and the tax payers be consulted be-
fore their money is used to finance
project of this kind.

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root Is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
60 many applicants for insurance are re-
1ected is because kidney trouble is 20
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.

at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
