citizens. were it used for the gathering of
sweepings on the business streets daily,
and on residence streets weekly, each ana
every occupant of frontage being re-
| oured to sweep the space of his or her
! frontage from the crown OF the street TO
! to the curb on business streets daily, and
! clean tho residence streets weekly; pro-
yided. that it shall be determined that
such duty may be legally imposed upon
the citizens.
ReSOlUed, That we demand of the Chief

enforcement OF existing laws prohibiting

all foreign matter.
| ReS0LUed, That his honor the Mayor be,
and he is hereby petitioned to aid the
work of this organization, and to instruct
the proper officers to enforce the laws
relative to street obstruction and street
| rubbish.
Resol0ed. That we submit to the Trus-
tees the question of increasing the street
repair fund, so as to permit residence
street cleaning to be prosecuted at least
weekly.
Rcs0lved, That we deem tho present
system of street sprinkling to be uu-
economic and unwise; that the sprlnk-
ling Is too heavy, at too long Intervals,
and at improper hours; that we commit
the subject to our Executive Committee,
|
ton before the City Trustees concerning
the same.
ReSOtUed, That it shall be the duty Of
our Executive Committee to see that the
purposes herein expressed are carried
out, the laws enforced and the reform de-

Res0lUed, That any citizen, man or
woman, may become member oil THIS

roll, and that there shall be no dues or
assessments levied; that meetings shall
be called by the order of the Executive
Committee; and that in the interim of
meetings such committee shall have full
power TO act.
ReSOiUed, That we now proceed to elect
the necessary officers.
Mr.. Stone here referred to the remarks
of Mr.. Lindley, that street sprinkling
should be done by going down one side
of street the full length Of district, and
then little later up the other, and IN that
way the whole street would not be made
muddy or uncomfortably wet at once,
and drivers. bicyclists and pedestrians
would be less Inconvenience.
Mr.. Stone said that was an excellent
idea. and he moved that the matter be
called to the attention of the Trustees by
the Executive Committee, with a request
that an order be issued to such effect. 1t
would make no more work, and greatly
motion unanimously prevailed.
The association then went into q lively
election and after pleasant and warm
time all around, in the course OF which
Judge Hinkson gave it to be his belief
that it is entirely competent for city to
pass ordinances compelling occupants
and owners to keep their frontages clear
of distractions and filth. The election
resulted as follows:
President, William Schaw; Vice. Presi-
dent, NJ. S. Laveuson; Secretary, f. NJ.
Woodson; additional Executive Commit
teemen, l.. S. Epson, d. A. Lindley and
G. a. Luhrs.
On motion of Judge Hinkson, the Ex-
ecutive Committee was instructed to con-
fer with the Native Sons and the Carnival
Committee rs TO the clearing of streets in
time for the September festivities.
1t was agreed that all present would
solicit men bers for the association, and
it was stated as belief that a thousand
Signers could be had in single day
The roll was then opened and all present
signed, some forty in all. A number mad
retired before the roll was opened.
The meeting adjourned to the call of
the Executive Committee.
