Some Things Which This City Needs and flust Have. Ruminating about Greensboro and her growth and her possibilities we have jotted down the following items and submit them as Improvements that must come before it can be a first-class city: Electric street cars to aU parts of the city. A well regulated city market house to be kept clean and inspected daily. A street (superintendent to ride over the streets daily and see that the drive ways and sidewalks are kept prop erly repaired and clean, and that all goods boxes and other ob structions are kept off the sidewalks. See to it that all back lots jkre in spected monthly,- at least, and that they arc kept clean and that all sani tary laws are strictly enforced. A well regulated auction house, up-to-date and modern in its appoint ments. An association of business men and taxpayers to be formed to keep proper and equitable rates of freight to this city. Godcity parks for drives and a place for recreation and exercise for the little folks and nice walks for the ladies. A committee to condemn all old de lapidated buildings and fire traps. These and many other things, some of which we have already mentioned and others we will talk about later, are necessary to the growth and devel opment of the city. Let everybody "get a move on" and rustle for the up building of Greensboro. Repair and paint and beautify. Do all you can to make your streets, your homes and your places of business at tractive. Talk for and advertise Greensboro. All pull together and among other things do not forget the motto: "More manufactories for Greensboro." Is it a Nuisance? The drain from the pump just south of the C. F. & Y. V. railroad makes a constant mud hole and a most filthy looking place down near and along side the railroad track. Not long ago a small pipe iurther down South Elm street burst and a small stream of clean water was oozing out. The sani tary policeman called on the lady who lives there and wanted to know the why and the wherefore of that water. It had only been running a few hours and the plumber was already engaged to repair the break. If that was a nuisance and demand ed the attention of the sanitary officer, this constantly running and muddy branch from the well is a ten times greater nuisance and should be looked after. There is also a break in the water pipe at the plug on the corner of South Elm and East Washington streets. If a burst that does not cause water to run twenty yards demands the attention of an officer, v surely a break that makes a running stream for a hundred yards or more should lso"claim the notice of the worthy sanitary policeman. The First Regiment Leaves. The first regiment of North Caro lina volunteers has been ordered to Tampa and leaves Raleigh today. The railways have completed the ar rangements for transportation of the troops.
