A few street lights were installed, it was sald, and some of the streets were scratched or partly graded. Nothing further has been attempted to date while other ad- ditions brought into the city only one week ago have already received consideration, it was claimed. ‘With the assurance of a seven- room school to be built in that sec- tion of the city this summer, at- tention was again called to the need | ff of improvements and taxpayers pro Pose to go before the new city ad- ministration with their claims.
