TO TlIK ESTKKMF.1I GKNTMCMKN OF THK Cmracir.: Most Worthy Sirs Pardon me If In thus breaking in upon your quiet every-day life In any way disturb the methodical regu larity of your actions, but I cannot restrain natural desire to make a few suggestions which Your Most Worthy Body has over looked in the rush of business affairs con sequent to the macadamizing of First street. The latter a worthy Improvement, but, by the way, a very slow one. First, the con dition of the ParkshonM be Improved; the Cauhon Advocatk has frequently called our attention to this, but you a t wisely In paying no attention to it. Always remom ber that "WE aro the Council," and that public opinion Is naturally rebellious. Last year several hundred dollars.were spent In laying this beautifully located plot of ground out In walks; this year a Commend able Economy causes you to save about twenty-fiyc dollars by letting tho grass grow knee deep In those walks. The point of this is, that next year or the year after, the Surveyor and A Hundred Dollars will be required to uncover the same walks. This is certainly yery creditable and will reflect splendidly on Your Manaccmonl. Secondly, The walk from the Valley House to the new bridge Is a splendid piece of work, at a very low figure. I don't feel like contemning this, because it is about on a plane witli numerous other things done in this town for the last quarter of a cei tury. The Intention is well, but the job is devilish poor. Thirdly, First street is obstructed with porches, boxes, Ac, Ac, over which pedestrians stumble on dark nights when tho moon don't fill Its required duty and tho street lamps are not lighted. Willi these matters you, of course, have nothing to do, I only refer to them as a means of showing how careless somo people really are. Again, I would suggest that you continue to pay no attention to public criticism, as a rule, It is only engendered by people who are jealous ot the position vou hold as leaders In shanlnc the improvr ments of our flourishing little towu. In after time the wise and judicious court e yon have always pursued will be recognized In some filling and eloquent manner, and your enemies will "cry aloud for shame.' there aro some people in town mean enough to object to the erection of a hose house; now this Is a very necessary thin; and I believe has your approval, and very wisely so, too. The suggestion that the hose be kept In somo burn or stable Is tie- grading to the town and the Fire Company, and arrangements should be made to erect a building suitable for such purposes. again ask your pardon, If I have in any way disturbed job, and oonelude with saying that you shall hear from me again, and that I am i our Humble Servant, John Biwwn, A Ste, HIbIut. Il will be gratifying news for the many friends of Prof. F, J.
