One of the aims of the Town Improve
ment Society, this season, has been to
try to keep the river banks cleaner than
they have been heretofore, especially
those near the bridges. Much light re-
fuse, paper, etc, is taken to be thrown
into the river, but instead it lodges on
the banks where it becomes an eye-sore
to all beholders. This is especially true
of the bank Just beyond the office of
Danforth and Gould. Members of the
Society have had the paper cleared from
the rocks more than once, but unfor-
tunately they did not stay clean. The
Society respectfully requests that those
who make dumping place of the riv-
er will see that the articles do not lodge
on the banks.
