CROSS, Editor.
H. F. Pullen, Editor of the Prince Ru-
pert (B. C.) News, Says:
,
That one of the greatest civic assets
today is a beautiful city, and every
citizen can aid in making it that.
Flowers and trees and well-kept build-
ings and gardens with neatly mown
lawns are the greatest attractions a
city can have.
The first thing in every city is for'
the people to be of the right kind.
They ’ must be alive to their oppor-
tunities, courteous to strangers, and
keen for the common weal as well as
for their own individual advancement.
Given such people, the city will of
necessity be made beautiful. People
tv, houses and lots in Mt. Pleasant
and a small farm (76) acres one mile
r th on Clarksville road. Cash or
terms with small cash payments.—
Mrs. Tinte Smith Searcy, Tutwiler,
Mississippi. 7-7-tf

Doctor—Did you follow my advice
and drink hot water an hour before
breakfast ?
Patient—I did my best, but I just
could not keep it up for more than
ten minutes, doctor.
ANNOUNCEMENT
We are authorized to make an-
louncement of the following as candi-
iates for office subject to the action
if the Democratic Primary, Saturday.
July 28, 1928:
For State Senator:
LAMAR DENMAN
of Mt. Pleasant.
who are fully ali-ke-Jo their opportun-
ities will be alive to rl
m.
r
the value of beau-
ty in the building of the community.
But no city ever started out under
. perfectly ideal conditions. There 'are
always numbers of people who are
not interested in anything that does
not directly concern > themselves.
These have to be educated to the idea
that no person can succeed to himself.
It is.in community success that lies
that hope of everyone. By united ef-
fort, bach doing his part doing it well,
a city may be made so attractive that
• the right kind of people will wish to
live there and those who are not nat-
urally keen on artistic development
will be drawn into the movement thru
tHe enthusiasm of others.
Civic pride is infectious. It spreads
rapidly if given a proper start and can
be kA’pt g*>wing by a little Judicious
encouragement. People who; have
beemslaves to their work become freed
through the development of their ar-
^jistiq and. altruistic tendencies and
the city benefits.

recently on record as favoring recom- 1
mending to the City Council that an j
official map be ordered made.
The management of the Daily Time
realizes the importance of the wor’
undertaken by the City Plan Commie
sion, and being desirous of assis^in;
in every possible way in this grer
work, will publish a series of article
outlining the City Plan work that i
being accomplished in Mt. Pleasant as
well as in other places.
We feel that once the people of Mt.
Pleasant thoroughly understand “Cit.
Planning” and its purpose, that the'
will become “sold” on the idea am!
that it . will result in the City Plan
Commission being given the whole
hearted support cf the entire citizen
ship, and a united citizenship working
hard toward a definite aim is. certain
to succeed.
In our judgment the City Plan Com-
mission opens the way for the ac-
complishment of big things for Mt.
Pleasant. Let’s everyone lend our
co-operation and support and help
carry out the fine program they are
now working on. It means a bigger
and better Mt. Pleasant.

WILLING TO PROVIDE SAME
(leaflet?
When Mt. Pleasant was first laid
out, there was a plat made of the
town and there was a water alley that
formed a boundary line around the
town. This original town plat was
filed for record in the County Clerk’s
office, but when the Court House
burned in 1895, this plat was destroy-
ed and while there was no douhf 0
number of copies of this town plat
in -existence at the time of the first
no one seems to have a copy at the
present time. A fe%v years after the
court house burned the City Council
realizing the necessity for an official
map of the city contracted with a Mr.
Moberly to make one, however, the
map as made by Moberly was in-
correct and the City Council refused
to accept it. Several years later the
City Council again passed an order
calling for the making of a city map,
but for some_____reason tHe map was
never made. The result is Mt. Pleas-
ant today is without an official map
of the city.
Few people realize the absolute ne-
cessity for a property map of the
cityf However, there hs one body that
fully appreciates that nefed 'and that
is the City/Plaq.,Compiission. They
have been badly hampered in their
work by reason of not having an of-
ficial property; Ipap, as this map is
essential in the planning of practical
ly. all city improvements. The fol-
lowing gives an idea as to soihe of
these'needs.
Before the streets can be named
and the houses numbered there must
be a property map made of the entire
city.
It is also needed in order that the
water mains and sewer line locations
may be shown, so that extensions to
these lines may be figured out in the
logical way.
It is needed in figuring out a sys-
tem of major streets, as well as in
street paving, street widening and
stree topening.
The City Council frequently i re-
ceives petitions for dxtentions to wat-
er mains, sewer lines, installing of

additional street lights, and numet-
ous other similar matters, and as a
result a committee has to be ap-
pointed to go on the ground and
measure the distance of the propos-
ed extension. This takes a great deal
of time. Whereas if the Council had
an official map before them they
cbuld figure the distance in a min-
ute’s tim.e y
One of the matters that the City
Plan Commission is working on now
is the Tax Zoning System. If this
system of tax equalization is installed
it is first necessary to have a pro-
perty map of the entire city before
it can be done..
The making of an .official property
map of the city is a big job, as each
street, lot and block within the city
limits must first be measured end
then platted on the map, each lot and
block numbered and street-named, and
the name of the owner of each lot
shewn. It will, take a crew of sev-
eral men from 60 to 90 days to com-
pile a map of thisjrind and will cost
approximately $1F00. However, it
is safe to say that a map of this kind
would more than pay for itself in l ..o
