Mosquitoes are in rebellion in this
community against the existing order
Of things, and are waging heartless
and relentless warfare every night
against the human race with their
spears and daggers. They are here in
unheard-of numbers, and no section
of the city is immune from their as
saults. Neither is there any barri-
cade which they seem to be unable to
pass.
The Times is informed the city ex'
poets soon to begin proceeding
against those property owners who
have refused to pay for the oiling Of
the streets in front of their resi-
dences. 1t is stated that the statutes
are clear and distinct that such costs
is liability against the abuting pro
perty, and that the owner is liable
for payment. 1t is intended that the
proposed suits will settle this ques
ton, in this community, for all time
