Citizens were glad to observe yesterday
that there was to be no undue haste in
taking down the Fourth Of July decora-
tons round about town. The streets will
look bare when they do come down. and
there is no reason. while the war dis
patches keep coming in, at least, why they
should not stay up.
The public decorations-those bought and
displayed by the Fourth OF July executive
committee-will be, after they have been
taken down, stored away for future
Fourths. Each year the collection will be
added to, so that in years to come Seattle
will be in possession Of fine lot Of jubilee
paraphernalia as any city OF the size in
the coun,ry-something to look forward
to.
