Seven years ago we liegan to agit- ate the question of having St. Johns arenue improved. After talking with one or two citizens residing on that avenue. we sent out cards invit~ ing all the residents from the depot to Lincoln avenue near Mr. Dickin- son‘s, to a meeting. The meeting was held in the parlor of the Acad» emy. and on motion. Mrf George Hall was made a connnittee to inves~ tigate the different kinds of improv- ment, and report. The writer was somewhat surprised at this more. made by a man premnnahly in the interest. of improvement. but nomin atingr a man who was known to he opposed to it: and as was expeeted. nothintr 0: one of it.

When We first came to this city we soon found that all the sewvrage was into the open ravines. This not only was calculated in a few years to destroy the pleasant aspect of our ravines, hut‘vas certain to breed se- rious sickness. We connn’enced at once to agitate the matter of getting sewerage. We could get no one all. parently interested until We finally resolved to seek remedy through the courts, when we were told that there was no "ater supply sufficient to flush sewers and if We would wait until water supply was procured the city would then take up the question of sewerage. We waited and the promise was kept. and for six years we have had both sewerage and water.

We are also asked in case of being elected to the council what attitude we would take concerning the needs of the people in the southern part of the City. It ought to be self-evident to everylxxly that any improvmnents in the south end of the city will hem vht the property of the Northwest- ern Military Acadvnly, and we should certainly favor anything that the- tax- payers wish in that direction that is notinjurious to thegenm'al interegfits of all the peoplv.
