WILL WK DO IT?
If our town, that we all love no well
and that nature Iiiih done ko much
for, if to maintain her position an an
enlightened, progressive municipali
ty, there are certain things that must
be done. We must have good streets
and side walks, we must have water
works and we must have a sewerage
system. All reflecting people will
admit that these are necessities in
any wide-a-wake and progressive
town. Most people know the value
and comfort of these as public utili
ties and they want them.
We lire in an age that demands
these things and we believe the tai
payers of Lenoir want them and are
willing to pay for them. The way to
get them is by an issue of town bonds
of sufficient amount to put them in
and to do so at once.
The street improvements the water
and sewerage should all go along at
one and the same time. It needs no
argument to a thinking person, to
prove this, when the streets are be
ing graded lay the water pipes and
the sewer mains, the work of the one
will facilitate the others, Improve
ments of this kind cost money but,
they are worth money and a whole
lotofit, for there is nothing that
adds more to the value of property in
a townthau the things mentioned, to
say nothing of the pleasure and com
fort they bring.
Now we can get these things if we
will cast off our childish, antiquated,
swadling chothes methods of man
aging town affairs ami elect a Mayor
and board of Commissioners, at the
coming May election, who hare the
courage and industry to act upon
their honest eonvictions. The worthy
gentlemen now tilling these positions
know we need these things and expect
to have them sometime, hut the?, for
some cause, have failed to act upon
that knowledge in any definite man
ner during the fiscal year just closing.
We are told by those who ought to
to know, that the town commission
ers have the power, vested in them
by the town charter to issue bonds,
or borrow money in any way they
see lit, or levy taxes to make town
Improvements, and the coming sum
mer should not pass without some
active steps being taken towards
providing these urgent needs of the
town. When the work is undertaken
ample provision should be made to
do it all and do it properly, there is
no economy in "piece-meal" business
when it comes to making permanent
town improvements, and nothing
short of first-class work should under
any circumstances be considered.
We all want our town to grow and
prosper and want these comforts and
necessities to modern life. We can
"life
get them and get them In short time,
so that some of us who are now on
the "iliady side of forty" can enjoy
them If we will. , So the question Is
will we do It?
