 There does not seem to be much use in trying to keep old papers off the streets. They were in evidence all over town to-day and 1t would be un- reasonable to find fault with the police for not being able to learn where they came from. They hailed from every backyard and alleyway in the city so that it is pretty hard to make much headway towards abating the nuisance while the board of public safety allows the wind to cut up all kinds of capers in the public ways. If this business | instruct the city attorney to prepare a draft of an ordinance regulating the conduct of the wind in the second tax ation district.
 The Bronson library Is adding pie lures as well as books to its circulating department.

 the opening of the library on Sunday
 afternoons will be discontinued unti

 brary open on Sunday.
