The merchants in this part wish to get up floats, but they want some help and if a little of the fillty lucre which Mr. Christenson has or should have in his possession, were turned over in this direction, they would go to work And begin building floats. If the gentleman cannot or is Incompetent to disburse the funds in a legitimate manner it is time the citizens began a petiton to the governor to have him removed.
