UNSANITARY CONDITIONS.
We are glad to note that some
cleaning up has been done in
town within the last few days,
but much remains to be done.
Dr. N. A. Thompson is health of
ficer of the town and he is paid
$G0 a year for his services, yet we
understand that he has never
brought many cases of unsanita
ry conditions to the attention of
the sanitary otticers, ana none
recently. It does not take a
physician to see that unsanitary
conditions exist, and if Dr.
Thompson will not call them to
the attention of the sanitary of
ficers they should call them to
Dr. Thompson's attention.
We believe the sentiment of the
people of the town would be
solidly behind the commissioners
if they would require, as they
have the right to do, all property
owners who are in reach of sewer
lines to connect. What's the
good of the town spending over
$20,000, as it did last year, to ex
tend water and sewer lines, if
the people who can do so are not
required to connect? Some non
resident property owners enjoy
revenue from houses situated
right along sewer lines, yet they
have not put in water works and
their houses are a nuisance and a
. 0 1 . mi
source 01 danger, iney are not
likely to connect unless made to
do so. It ought not to require

That beautiful singing:, sono

Why should any one buy an

The price is within reach of
