The election held last Saturday on the question of bonds for sew erage and other improvements resulted in a vote of 290 for bonds and of 10 against bonds. This result we consider a distinct triumph for the city. For years past sewerage has been a growing necessity until it finally looked like the city had just about as well pull down its signs and go out of business as to attempt further to do without this greatest of modern utilities. Nothing could have been more broad and unselfish than the man ner of procedure of our City Commissioners to bring about this bond issue. They first invited citizens to make suggestions as to the best kinds of bonds to issue and the best methods of bringing on the election and carrying it through, reserving nothing for themselves in the ordering but conceding everything to their advisers, even changing plans and designs at first formulated to others that might fit a wider range of opinion, until it was believed all but the most ultra of the opponents were satisfied and real ly desired the bond issue should go through and the improvements con templated should be secured. The result more than proves the wisdom of the conservatism exer cised by our officials. Ten opposing votes is a mighty little showing in a contest where something like 400 votes were possible. And yet those who opposed bonds have as much right to their opin ion as those who favored them and should not be censured as they doubt less felt their position and opinions conformed to an idea of material ben efits and progress just as much as the others with different views. Sewerage will be of vast benefit to the city and we don’t yet begin to realize the extent of such benefits. And yet if we went much longer without sewerage, we might find ourselves encompassed with evils we haven’t heretofore dreamed of. Though it was not blazoned by the people or the press fever has been already making its appearance in the city. There were nine cases reported a little over a week ago in one locality. This may not be typhoid but it is a type of fever almost as bad—a kina of typho-malarial, that gives patients prid physicians trouble enough and it indicates that fever can get a hold here and the worst types are likely if timely action in preventing such is not taken. A great improvement contemplated as a prouct of the bond issue will be street paving, it being planned to pave with some modern substan tial certain of our principal streets. Nothing adds more to the looks of a town than well paved side walks and streets, ft gives a stranger a fine im pression of the town besides the utility it affords in making comfortable and pleasing all rhe vehicle travel over our thoroughfare. The contemplated improvements to school buildings and grounds and the improvements on our water system are well recognized needs. W. C. T. U.
