The time is here when the streets
and back alleys should be thoroughly
cleaned. A clean town not only pays
the biggest kind Of dividends, because
it prevents disease, but 1t adds to the
comfort and convenience of every citizen,
is an advertisement for the town which
creates favorable impression upon
strangers and pays in every way.
Every citizen should make it his busi-
ness to clean up his own premises and
the authorities should look after the
streets and alleys. Let cleanliness pre-
vail in our town this spring and summer.
There are various rumors aHoat as to
the cause of the delay in putting in the
siding to the silk mill site. The truth
of the matter, so far as the A. V. R'y is
concerned, is that the request for the
siding was sent to higher authorities
of the road than are located here and
they have not answered yet. An answer
is expected any day now. The laying
of the siding could have been settled
some time ago II the request had been
made when it should have been, and
it could have been made on conditions,
and then this delay would not now be
necessary.
