Much complaint Is made Of the open
violation Of the ordinance against loaiers
conSrcgating on the streets. Especially
IS the law broken on Sunday, that day
oi all DAYS, when order, peace and deco
rum should reign everywhere. Loating
is a nuisance, and is fast becoming 4
curse in our community. The police
should strictly enforce the law.
