Mayor Hanna dug up an old ordin-
ance standing on the books these many
years, that does not allow hitching
posts on main street in front of stores
and Marshal Chandler has been busy
the past week digging them up out Of
the road. This may cause some dis.
satisfaction at first but when the pub
lie finds how much nicer and cleaner
it will keep the streets they will be
grateful that it is done. Posts are be-
ing set along the side streets to pro-
vide for the farmers all the space that
they need.
