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. emeus.
