The big ditch is beginning to make itself
odious, as is usual at this season of the
year when we have no rains to flush it out.
A proper regard for the sanitary condition
of the big ditch neighborhood should
prompt people to refrain from dumping
trash into the ditch, but this habit has
been rallied against for a good many years
without much effect, and only the passage
and rigid enforcement of a town ordinance
can be expected to remedy this evil.
