This is the time more than all others, in the history of the town, when every available cent of revenue coming into the Town Treasury, should be judiciously spent in the improvement of the side-walks, streets and alleyways, in both the residence and business sections. Summer before last heavy rains, all at once Hooded the low lands lying in the rear of the main business block to such an extent that a boat could have been floated between the back doors of different business places. Before that it had not been in quite so bad a condition, as it had been worked, and supplied with underground drains. Carelessness and lack of attention to these drain ways resulted in the floods we mention. Later some drains were arranged as well as new sewer lines laid, but the work was to a great extent a make-shift only. The system was not complete and perfect as it should have been. At the present time new places of i business arc being erected about the equal of any, and the town would present a handsome appearance if it were not for the uneven alley ways and side-walks needing attention and the streets and avenues which are in need , of paving to enable them to be kept in any decent shape. Through the center of the main business block is an alley way now used by hundreds of people. The western end of this < alley was purchased at private sale 1 by the owners of property^ in this block from the former owner and vir- ^ tually dedicated to the town for the use of the public in passing through to the rear of business buildings. At that time the eastern end of the alley was not open to the public as it was the property of the Bank of Horry, 1 but since then the eastern end has lino 11 /ln<l!n<ifn/l 1 11 i-i? wvvii viv,uivuiui ciiiii ujiiMi lo inc puQiic use. If it belongs to the public, it is ] the duty of the town to keep it in re- t pair. Pave it with something that ( r will keep it dry and hard, see that the 1 trash is not allowed to accumulate on it and that it is graded so that the c water will not stand in the way of j travel. ; # The town did not at the public ex- 1 pense, put clown the cement side-walks ^ on Main Street and Third Avenue, , but this was done entirely at the expense of the property owners along these streets, and everybody knows this. If the citizens of the town must pay heavy taxes and at the same time out of their owners pockets put in necessary modern improvements it wil be just as well that the town was not incorporated and let the community run the business themselves in their own way, and spend the tax money in these improvements. Ther is no doubt that some of this tax money, I like the old saying, is spent for "chips and whetstones," and it is not gathered and accumulated as it should be and spent toward tb<? proper ends. The buildings in the tov?n are modern in appearance, the side-walks put down by the owners of the property at their own expense are a great convenience, still nothing has been done to improve the streets themselves, to make them hard so that heavy loads hay be hauled over them, so that the f 1th and trash may be cleaned up and taken away, and the dust, which is do structive to the appearance of everything, laid and kept laid. Although the owners of the property fronting Main Street and Third Avenue put down the cement walks at their own private expense, the town authorities cannot look ?t the matter broad enough to go ahead and ?*pend the necessary money to put the walks on the oilier side of the blocks. They seem l| , # to be waiting to see if the owners of the property will not do that also. WILL BBGIN WORK. Congressman J. W. Ragsdale is Assured by the War Department Engineers that it Will Be- '? gin Work Soon. The following letter was received from Congressman J. W. Ragsdale a few days ago relating to the work on the Waccamaw River, the contracts for which was J|et by the proper authority some time ago: Editor Horry Herald, Washington, Sept. 26, lrfl4. v Conway, S. C.? *4^. * Dehr Sir:? ' t I beg to enclose herewith a copy of letter received, by me from the War Departnfent. I have been working steadily at the proposition to deepen the Waccamaw River but have been unable to get them to work. You will note from the enclosed letter that this work will begin on Oceober 23rd and the War Department has assured me that it. will be pressed steadily after that. The completion of this work will gove to Conway more advantages which she has never enjoyed, enabling her to increase the size and length of her vessels and, of course, the larger the vessels that can be operated to Conway the greater the facilities that will be offered the public and the cheaper vessels and their cargoes can be handled. I shall stand behind this proposition until it is completed. I will be very glad if you will pub-; lish the enclosed letter for the information of the public. Yours very truly, J. W. Ragsdale. Following is a copy of the letter ad- j dress to Mr. Ragsdale by the Chief of Engineers: ! Washington, Sept. 25, 1914 Hon. J. W. Ragsdale, * | U. S. House of Representatives, I Sir:? 0 1. Replying to your letter of the 8th instant, asking when work on the Waccamaw River, under contract with the Hillsboro Dredging Company will commence, I have the honor to say that the company has notified the district officer that they will common ce work on October 23. 2. Under the specifications for this work, the company cannot be compelled to begin work earlier than the date mentioned, but the district officer has been directed to take steps with a view to putting other plants on the work which will permit of its proper J prosecution immediately after October 23, if the work is not commenced by the contractor on or before that date. { 3.
