A Communication
Editor Review: Will you tell
an anxious inquirer why it is
that our city dads are so willing
to have cement sidewalks laid
out in the country where no one
has any use for them, and then
overlook the rotten wooden walks
right in the heart of the city
where hundreds of our citizens
travel daily? Is there any graft
in this? Let us know. An In
dignant Taxpayer.
Very probably because the
"country" property owners are
more enterprising and progres
sive than some of those in tho
heart of the city, and petition
for cement sidewalks while
others do not. Believe the city
dads show no preference in this
regard, bt. Johns city councils
have been quite loath to take the
nitintive in matters of public
improvements, preferring peti
tions instead. However the
present city council is more
broad in this respect than any
former one we have cognizance
of. It has taken the initiative
several instances, notably
East Burlingtrn. Crawford and
St. Johns avenue, all of which
proceedings hnvo been started
on for improvement. Possibly
others will be taken up in the
sumo mnnner later. There can
be no graft in the proposition,
jeenuse the opportunity docs
not exist. It is highly improba
ble thnt property owners aro
paying tributo to tho city coun
cil to keep their streets from be
ing improved with cement side
walks. Nor at tho low price re
ceived by contractors for cement
sidewalks could they afford to
pay tribute. So long as people
In tho "country" want cement
sidewalks and tnose in the heart
of tho city do not and remon
strate such propositions down,
the situation must remain un
changed until the city charter
be amended. Tiiore is not the
slightest doubt in tho world,
however, that a number of the
sidewalks "closo in" should be
replaced by cement walks before
a few legs aro broken. Ed.
During the past two weeks
Mr. and Mrs. 11. E. Miller. 708
Allegheny street, has entertain
ed Mrs. G. H. Rush of LaGrando
and Jerome Hart of Clinton,
Iowa. Mr. Hart is eighty years
of ago and says he likes Oregon
better than any place he has
ever visited and is well pleased
with St. Johns, especially, lie
says that he is afraid to tell his
Eastern friends the hcauties 01
tho wonderful Rose Show for
fear they will think ho is exag
gerating.
