Butler, the past year under the mayorship of Col. Jas. L. Pace, has taken its place with the most progressive towns in the state. It was under his government that Butler secured its waterworks and electric light plants, which her citizens pride themselves on. The Colonel secured these enterprises without an addi- tional tax and even “cut off” the oc cupation tax which the new govern- , ment recommends to be added. Col.

Arsa- | Its une-/ Some of the prominent streets of the city are getting in a villainous condition, and allowing them to so remain from week to week after his attention has been called to the fact does not speak well for the business sagacity of the present mayor. On South Main street Saturday near Power Bros. mi'i a wagon loaded with wood which two horses had | drawn for ten miles in the country, stuck fast, and with the combined strength of six horses could not be moved, so we are informed by Mell Power. While this wagon was | stuck a dozen others drove up be- hind but on account of the condition of the street could not pass and for two hours a blockade existed. On Ohio street within two or three | blocks of the pulic square a similar state of affairs exists Mr. Power says he went to the mayor and call ;ed his attention to the mud hole near his mill but that official put him off with the excusé that he had bo mouey to fix it with. Now the] cost of repairing these two streets would not exceed ten or fifteen dol , lars, and his excuse will not be taken asa reasonable one by the people, when thereis upwards of $500 due! on poll tax.
