IT'S OFFICIALLY CLEAN.
O. IL. of Street Commissioner
Put on North Topeka.

North Topeka is declared by the
street commissioner to be off1cially
cleaned up, and hereafter the North To-
peka people who dump mud from their
premises into the street will be treated
as law breakers, just as if they were
on this side of the river. The following
notice was issued today by Street Com
missioner Snyder and approved py
Mayor Bergundthal:
Notice is hereby given that no person
will be permitted to throw any dirt or
rubbish of any description in any of the
streets, avenues or alleys In the city OF
Topeka, in violation of the ordinances OF
said city. The street force for some
time has been removing all sucn dirt
and rubbish. but will 90 so no longer;
and the ordinances of the city prohibit
ing such material from being thrown III
the streets will be hereafter strictly en-
forced
we are now cutting down our North
Topeka street force, and by the end OF
the month we expect to have the pay
roll reduced to the normal basis" said
Street Commissioner Snyder today. up
to this time we have hauled away every
thing which has been dumped INTO the
streets. People who have not been over
on the north side to watch the progress
of the work can form no adequate con-
ception of the amount of stuff which
has been dumped out in the street for
us to haul off. All the mud which col

barns and cisteTns. and a good deal of
the sand which was drifted on the
ground around the houses, was shOveled
out into the street. and the city hauled
it away. Now. however. We have been
G. er all the streets several times and il
won't do to allow people to continue to
dump sand and rubbish into the streets.
Such piles of dirt not only block up the
sewers and cutters. but they are really
dangerous to vehicles The city Is la
BILE to have damage suits on its hands If
we continue to permit dirt to be dump
ed into the highways.
There are, as d matter of fact, COM
paratively few places over there which
have not been cleaned out. The new
order is not likely to Inconvenience a
great many people, and il is absolutely
necessary to the safety of tine comnun-
ity. In the future people must cart OFF
their own dirt"
very broad and prevent anyone blocking
the street and also filling up the gut
ter. The gutter ordinance is not often
enforced because on the unpaved
streets it would be impracticable for
each property owner to keep his gutter
/ on the proper grade.s So the street COM
! missioner grades all the cutters and
keeps them cleaned. But the ordinance
still stands. 1t is as follows:
1T shall be the duty of the occupant
! of any lot or piece of ground abutting
upon any street where there is a side
walk or gutter on said street, to keep
such sidewalk and gutter clean, and to
remove therefrom all ice. snow. earth
! dirt. filth, mud, manure. hay, straw
papers, stone refuse and rubbish of any
| kind, and in case there is no occupant
| of any such lot other than the owner,
then it shall be the duty of the owner
to do the same
