Editor Review: In reply to Chas. Anderson's attack on the city council for spending money on the roadway leading to tno plant of tho Western Cooperage Company, it might bo ,well to consider thnt when this plant is completed it will pay hack in tho way of taxes each year a considerable portion of the sum spent on tho roadway, to say nothing ot tho local labor it win employ. The moro taxes receiv ed from this plant the loss other property owners will have to pay for tho running expenses of tho city. While a legal point may have been stretched in building tho roadway, yet tho benefit to bo derived from the plant will more than offset any legal straining that may have boon done. In my opinion tho man who knocKs at tno money paid out for tho construction of this roadway has not tho wel fare and advancement of the city at heart. The money spent for tho roadway is suro to re turn to tho city many fold. G. W. Munson. Dressmaking. Prices to suit the times. Call at 425 East Buchanan street, St. Johns.
