Cleaning Up,


Our city authorities generally, and es
pecially the street supervisors, who have
been appointed by Mayor Davenport as a
Board Of Health, are deserving Of especial
credit for the energy manifested in putting
the city in a good sanitary condition.
People who know anything about such
matters know that the city was in a very
bad condition, little or nothing having
been done by Mayor Murdoch to keep the
streets, alleys, lots or stink holes in decent
condition.
Some of our citizens are commercially
prompt in putting their premises in good
sanitary condition. Others will probably
have to pay something at the police
magistrates Office, before they can realize
that they have anything to do, or owe any
duties to the public.
Mr.. Harper has expended good deal of
money in putting his hotel premises in the
very best condition. All the cellars, coal
holes, etc, etc. have been drained and
scraped clean, snd disinfected, the ground
in all being covered with disinfecting ma
terial-coOpperas, lime, sulphur and Gin
ders from the gas works, so that everything
about the establishment is in the very best
sanitary condition.
Every man in town who has any regard
for the general health of the city should
see that no offensive thing is permitted on
OF near his premises A decent regard for
the health of himself, his family, his neigh
bOrs-to say nothing of desire to have
his premises look neat and tidy, should in
duce him to give this matter immediate
attention. 1t ought not to be necessary
for any official to spur him to his duty.
Those who are too negligent, parsimOniOus
or mean to discharge their duties to their
own family or the public, of course have to
be notified, and then fned-and keep ON
filming them till they realize that they form
a part of the body politic and that they
have something to do to make the city
healthy neat and tidy
Business people, too, who litter up the
streets, alleys and yards should be requir-
ed to clean up the litter they make, and
be fined if they repeat it.
Proclamations, notices, "reminiscences,
ETC., are played-action is what is wanted.
A few fines will do more good than all the
prOclamations

compensation, not even those who voted
