In case the reform club nominees
are elected, and the street work is con
fined to the revenue derived from the
poll tax and dog license, it will be neces
sary for the average citizen to wear rub
ber boots when crossing streets in the
residence portion of town during wet
weather. It is sheer nonsense for any
one to claim that the receipts from the
poll tax and the dog license will keep
the streets in proper repair. On west
Fourth street within a radius of four
blocks five crosswalks are gone and the
same condition of affairs exi-t in other
parts of town. And this, too, in face of
the fact that over SS00 was expended for
lumber and tiling during the past year.
The revenue derived from the above two
sources will not be sufficient to purchase
the lumber necessary to put in the cross
walks and culverts absolutely necessary
to Bay nothing of the expense of keeping
up the roadways.
