Rees preached a very interesting discourse yesterday morning. Especial force is added from the fact that it was his last sermon in the city previous to his departure to his new field of labor. He spoke from the text: “For our light afMiction, which but for a mo- ment, worketh for us a far more exceed- ing und cternal weight of glo whil we look not at the thin hich vre seen, but at the things which not for the things which are are 1. but the things un- rnal.? 2 s Lwo eat aid th re sceny tempo are : unseen,” I'he things more real than those we de the substance of the dis- zealously the that nothing ch does not ap- the 3 which not be ed through the medium of .

These lictions contribute to our Seen through the dim light of urroundings we may not recog- nize this fact, but afterward, when we have chimbed to the heighths of the limitless beyond, we will see it all and bless the hand that ordered it so.” The speaker noted three results: First, we must get all the good possible out of the things seen. Second, we must get all the good possible out of the unpleasant things. And, lastly, look- ing atthe unseen develops the heroic in_ our natures.

A kick of ro small magnitude has been instituted against the “boom pol- icy” pursued b vy council in the ay of public ements this season. 1t seems that the city fathe we de- cided to * i 1 ot once,” und this is what causes the howl. None of the cit- izens object to tem of yearly public improvement, but it makes them squirm to have to stand the expense of doing so much in one year, and then doing noth- ing the following senson. It has becn customary hervetofore to order the paving of a street when the ma- jority of the property owners on that street demanded it, and this custom has given satisfaction, as the cost of the work is ¢ butting prop- er It is held by citizens that it is no more than justice that this rule should be followed for the single son that when the property owners petition for such work they voting upon themselves individually, this is something that the council should be slow in doing. They argue that if the work was to be puid for by the city the case would be very differentf but the city pays for nothing but the inters: tions. Said one of the kickers yestor- day: “Itis undoubtedly the privilege of the council to order this work done when s0 decided upon by a three-fourths vote of their number, and they are justi- fied in exercising that privilege where the enormous amount of travel on a prim-irvn thoroughfare renders such a step advisable, even though the owners of abutting property are opposed to it, but it is questionable whether they are not qoh\g further than good judg- ment dictates in ordering the paving of such streets as Pierce, Bluff and High School avenue in direct opposition to the wishes of a majority of those who would have to pay for tha work. I don't think the council is using the eity money dishonestly, byt I do think they are setting the pace a little too fast for the city t0 maintain to a ruccessful finish. We are already far ahead of any Qthgyr city of our size in the way of public improvements, and it certinly looks o little bit strange to see the council keep letting -contract after contract, although there is already more coutracted for thun can he ecom- leted this season.” This steady ki ng has had its effect on the council, and that body has decided to slow up a little. The proposed paving of Pier and Bluff streets and High Schiool ave- nue will be postponed until next season, in fact all n[llu- work for which the contracts are not a let. It should be understood that the city's indebted- ness for this year's improvements will not count up as fast as might be ex- }n-n'(ml from the amount of work per- ormed, The grading, sewerage and paving is all paid for by the own- ers of the adjoining propert the work on the street and al gections to be ¢ city pays for th ment bonds, drawing 6 per ble in twenty mprove- 1t interest This ren- one of the 1est levied upon the citizens for the it benelits received, Since the present council has been in control of the city’s finances, thes bonds have been disposed of at par, thereby i i the credit of the 1 : regretted that this satisfactory to some of the monied institutions of the city.
