 The Mayor and members of the Common Council cannot anticipate these petitions They contain reasonable requests taxpayers of the city As they feel they ust fled the Common Council grants them by making recom- the that the money the expense be appropriated In this way the streets and sidewalks of the city improved and more each year.
 All requests improvements carefully nvesti- gated by the highway committee If the report favorable it
 voted add the item the paragraphs in the call for the special city meeting together with the the citizens asked to vote the expense of the improvement
 The Common Council is exercising strict economy in the matter of appropriations If they too conservative suit of citizens perhaps it a commendabe fault How the may assured that before the members the Common Council recommend appropriation they unanimously convinced expenditure only fair and equitable the property that necessary and that the city will get full for the outlay.
 One appropriation that is included in the group toned above appropriation of S999 for the renewal of signs One does not have to be extraordinarily observing to realize that this important It is subject that has know that the Council decided is time make this improvements Possibly the ap propraon asked for will not be sufficient to place signs all of and Some of the outlying may have wait future At least the heavily travelled will have signs to guide the visitor Such signs are lacking The present situation credit city that stands for conservative progress
