AS TO CITY POLITICS.
A Local Citizen Tells What he Think
Ought fy> be Done.
Editor Valdosta Times.
Dear Sir: Will you be kind
enough to allow me space In The
Times to express a few thoughts and
make aome suggestions with refer,
once to our city’s policlss. In tha
first place our city la large enough
lo be divided into warda, and let ev
ery ward be repreaented In the coun
cil by the most progressive cltlsen
of their respective wards. By doing
this all aoetlona of tha city would be
repreaented In the id trie m Under as
the state has representative^ from
the different ro'uTltlc*, each otm look
ing after the local interests o( his
constituents, and In conjunction with
their, coileagunes.the interests of the
state ns a whole. By having the city
thus divided and represented, 'here
cun be no kicking abont certain
parts being neglected while Improve
ments and betterments are being
made in other sectlona. This cause*
dissatisfaction. All sections of the
city are paying their pro rata share
of taxes, and taxation without rep
resentation has been the cause of
serious trouble in times past. There
may be some good objections to this
plan, but I believe the wards could
ho cut off in a way that each one
would have enough white voters to
choose a representative cltlsen who
would be acceptable to the city ns a
whole.
Second, as to civic Improvements.
The sidewalks should ho kept level,
nof high and low places like a great
mnny of thorn are at present. Walk
ing on them is almost like walking
across a cotton field. Where there.
Is grade enough to cause the soli
to wash, ths bottom of the ditches
should ha pavod with eobhio r,ton»
nr other suitable material. A curb
ing of soma cheap material, such as
cypress or heart pine, would hold
the soil in place and prevent the
sidewalk* from being washed by the
heavy rains. I believe every public-
spirited citizen who owns any prop
erty (or hopes to o*n any in the
future) would help to put in this in
expensive curbing (fronting their
own property) and also aid in keep
ing up the aidewtlk afterwards.
This applies to streets that lie out
side of the cement pavement dis
tricts.
If it Is the city’s duty to trim
.• tha shade trees, why not do
so in the winter, whlclj' is the prop
er time to trim nil trees, such as
frnit, shade or oranmental? The
ash being down, ho d-. range will re-
milt from the cutting oil 1 fct ; as >»w
limbs aa will be necessary to give
the tree tho desired shape.' How
would the burned pyrlt«! do to fill
In tbe low, mucky places and mud
holes, which make our streets as un
sightly tnd slmost as Impassable as
the worst part of the country roada?
Hoping this will bo tha means of
bringing oat others who are mors
competent and familiar with such
affairs, and thns (by dlscnulou)
bring* about • few much needed Im
provements, I am yBnra for hotter
stroets and a prettier Valdosta.
