, Larsen have formed partnership in

announcement in this paper They

satisfaction. Richard Nalty, an in
dustrious, energetic, Brookhaven-
raised boy, with several years. practical
experience as plumber in this city,

1t would be we'll for merchants and
housekeepers to bear in mind the city
ordinance against sweeping paper and
litter out on the streets and into the
cutters. This ordinance requires such
rubbish to be placed in boxes or bar
rels and set on the curb to be taken off
by the garbage cart. The street con-
tractor will be responsible for it then
and see that it is properly disposed Of.
!, 1t is an extra hardship on the street
contractor to expect him to keep the
streets and cutters clean if this ordi,
nance is disregarded.
