 The residence portion of the city has been considerably improved by the new sidewalks. Some of the citizens do not seem to appreciatee this improvement, for they allow the sidewalks in front of their houses to become filtered with dirt and old paper. If every citizen would have the sidewalk in front of his residence swept every day we would have a clean city. Tn many cities the law requires each resident to keep his pavoments clean. It should not become necessary to pass such law in Bir mingham.
