the dust is something terrible, I would propose that if the Council do not intend to water the, streets that the tradespeople subscribe so much per week, according to their businesses. If the large stores were to pay say one shilling, and the smaller ones sixpence, they might manage to scrape up enough to pay for a man and a horse. If the tradespeople cannot make the required sum, a poor box could be nailed up each end of the town, and called, the Borousrh Relief Fund Box, and visitors could drop in their mites.
