The method proposed by the Town Council to provide for the payment of the town debts is the only feasible plan that could have been adopted. A defeat of the proposition at the election next Tuesday would lead to numerous law-suits against the town, a large bill of costs, a higher rate of interest than the bonds will draw, and the levying of a special tax for the payment of the debt. There will be two sets of tickets printed, one read ing " Debt may be increased &c" and the other reading " No increase of debt." The tickets should be fold ed so that the words " Increase the debt " will appear on the outside. The election will be held at the usual polling places, and in the same man ner as the regular town election. A lengthy article which discusses the whole situation was printed in the Daiiy of Tuesday, and thore desiring fuller information as to the purposes of the election, should read it. Attention is also called to a com munication in this paper today, which discusses some things not heretofore considered, and suggests the illegality of the proposed election. Koomsburg Bicycle Meet.

To the President and members of Bloomsburg Town Council. Since our last report we have had many complaints against landlords and individuals for vaiious nuisances, and without calling our committee together to go upon premises and in vestigate, (which is always unpleasant for both parties) we have decided and have practiced it, by sending tne part ies complained of, a written notice, stating the complaint, as far as we have knowledge all have made an ef fort or arrangements to have the nui sance removed. Our committee (as all other committees) are annoyed with complaints which are entirely out side of our duty, for instance, o-e will enter complaint of so and so running the water off his or her roof, which finds its way under his or her fence. These persons ought to know that there are thirty lawyers in Bloomsburg who are willing for "jobs " of this kind, and others complain of trifling matters which if the parties complain ed of were spoken to by them would willingly correct it, by removing or burning up such as apple or potato parings, etc., which in all cases should be done. Just here we would suggest it would be a good idea for the town to build a cremation furnace down about the river or creek and have all matters of that kind burned up. We have had complaints which we have reason to believe grew out of personal feelings, but as we are presumed not to know or show any favors in our duty have in every instance given a hearing and written the parties, free to say however if the " Golden Rule" was practiced in many instances it would very much relieve our commit tee from many unpleasant visits or notices. As we said in our last report so we repeat it, that the Sanitary conditions of our town are exception ally good, there is a disposition on the part of the community even those who are in close quarters for room in their lois and houses, that it shall continue, by cleaning up and in a general way to have their premises tidy and clean. We have made spec ial visits to the factories and find the proprietors have gone to considerable expense in having the sanitary ar rangements in good condition. Whilst we are giving credit to some and con demning others, wc would not screen some of the town officials. We re commend that some one be employed who will learn to turn eff the water at the Market street fountain in a proper way, as nearly every morning a stream of water runs down as far as Correll's store, and through the day, when the hot snn comes upon it, and the other accumulations in the gutters, a bad and siqkly oder is in the air arrising from it. Between Judge El well's and Mrs. Adram Fry's lot, in the alley v is a low place 75 feet long, when for days after a rain from 3 to 6 inches of water stands until it becomes green and the sun evapor ates it. We are told there are many such spots over the town, which in hot July and sultry August must of necessity create sickness. Our atten tion has been called to Ordinance No. 29, Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5, upon ex amination we find that comes under the Health Committee's duty, however for the good of the community, we recommend to the Board the inforce ment upon Physicians of placing cards upon doors where contagious or epidemic diseases exist and that no public funerals be held where persons die from diseases of that kind.
