Cm June 7, 1898. TOO SLOW. j It is Dot inappropriate to again call attention, to the fact that there is not enough activity in Salisbury in the way of city improvement. The war, as we have before stated, appears to be the overshadowing subject. This should not be the rase, . Salisbury is a good town and with proper energy ; can be made a leading city. The citizens are too slow. I Indeed there have been several marked and favorable improve ments in Salisbury recently. The sanitorium of Drs. Whitehead and Long, -which is nearing comple tion: the new Bell block and the building of Mr. Horah adjoining it, which are now being erected, and a street sprinkler are the most important that may be named. There are room for others. j There is, it appears, a prolong ed stampede in the matter of elec tric lights. The citizens were led to hope that they would have these lights for the city during jthis year. They should come, but it would seem that the city is as far from the lights now as ever. This is to be regretted. ,. Salisbury certainly needs better lights , and it is to be trusted that the time wilJ not be very much longer de layed when the city will have elec tric lights. These should come first now, and this should be fol lowed quickly by improving the macadam on the main streets of the town if none others. i We repeat, the citizens are too slow. There must be. more push and more vim displayed in im proving the town. If Salisbury is to grow into greater importance the people must work for it. AVe would be glad to see all take a leading interest in the city. ! i The St. James Gazette says that an American war loan of $00,000,000 isto be issued during tne coming week, and it adds that tne hope iJ expressed there that "a good portion of it will be of fered in London, where it is confi dently anticipated ;that the bonds, wi l be partially taken up.
