How the streets are Cleaned Mt
Parkersburg.

| From the IlmH'J
A beneficial change in tho matter Of
keeping our streets clean from the accu-
muiating dirt has been inaugurated by
our present economical Council. Here
tofoFe the Street Commissioner was al
most all the time visible on our streets,
giving directions TO dozen men engaged
in piling up the street dirt and having II
hauled away by a half dozen or more
cartmen, causing heavy expense every
year to the city.
This has been changed; at present the
Council gives the privilege TO any citizen
in need OF excellent manure for their gar
dens and fields, 10 have the dirt scraped
up and hauled on their premises, saving
to tho city treasury many hundreds OF
dollars, which will enable the Council 10
have cur taxes considerably reduced.
We congratulate the Council upon
their wise plan, and we are sure 1t
will meet with the approval Ot every tax
payer.
Il Willie remembered that We suggest
