CITY NEWS
SKATING SEASON is
HERE ONCE MORE
Ice on White Bear Is in Fine
Shape-Many Kinks to Open
This Week.

The skating season is once more
here. The ice on White Bear lake IS IN
fine shape. Como lake is we'll frozen
over and dozens of smaller lakes ana
ponds surrounding the city are also
covered with a thick coating of ice.
The skating rinks are open for busi-
ness again and two additional Kinks Will
probably be opened before long in or
der to supply accommodations Tor the
numerous skaters.
Large crowds are expected on all the
lakes, and at the Kinks today, as 1T is
the first day so far this fall that the
people have had an opportunity TO get
out. The average small boy has had MS
skates out of the store room for sew
eral days past, and all ponds and lakes
where there was any ice to be found
have been covered every day.
Ice Boats Are Out.
The ice at White Bear lake is in fine
condition and several ice boats were
on the lake yesterday. The ice Is
smooth and there is miles of skating.
The ice at Como park has not yet
been pronounced safe, but it is in good
condition and growing better every
day. On the smaller lakes the ice is
thick enough generally to be safe.
The skating Kinks, which have gen.
orally not opened until Thanksgiving
day, will all be open early this week.
Broadway rink was opened Friday
night and contains a fine sheet of ice.
The Laurel rink was thrown open last
night, and the Virginia rink will be
opened Monday or Tuesday.
Another rink is being constructed at
the corner of Summit and Manchester
avenues, and the new ball park may
also be turned into a. skating rink
within a few days.
Winter sports promise to be popular
this year. A hockey league will prob
ably be organized, and the Nushka
club will also have busy season at
curling. The rinks are expected to be
in readiness for the ''stines' within a
week.

OHAGE WILL OFFER
THREE ORDINANCES
Proposes Measures Designed
to Secure Clean Streets for
St. Paul.

An ordinance prohibiting the pron1is
cuous distribution of hand bills and
printed matter generally.
Another ordinance making it a mis-
demeanor for any one to sweep refuse
into the streets.
A third ordinance compelling the use
of closed wagons for all loose rubbish.
These three measures will be intro
duced at the next meeting of the city
council by Health Commissioner Ohage
and he will endeaver to secure their
Endorsement as a step toward clean
streets.
Can Make Dirty Streets Scarce.
'tIf the city authorities will start at
the root Of this evil, dirty streets will
be a scarce article in st. Paul." said
DR.. Ohage yesterday. 81 do not mean
streets. Far from it.
There is not a cleaner or healthier
city in the United States, but it is
only kept so by constant work and the
expenditure of much money. 1t is the
paper and rubbish litter that is so no.
ticeable on an occasion like this. and
I propose, if possible, to put stop te
1t. The three measures that will ask
for will not work any hardship"
There is a law on the city books now
that provides penalty for sweeping
debris into the streets, but it is prac-
tically dead letter. No one observes it
Unless the party actually commit
ting the violation is caught there car
be no conviction, and for this reason
there is seldom an arrest. The pro-
prietor of the store involved lays il
on the janitor and the janitor on the
proprietor.

MAYOR APPROVES IT
His Suggestion to DR.. Ohage
Results in Cleaner Streets.

Mayor Smith is greatly pleased at
the results attending his efforts to Sc
cure the sweeping of the streets in the
down. town district and intends to urge
the engineering department on to fur
ther work should the present dry spell
continue.
1t was Mayor Smith who secured
Health Commissioner Ohage's inter-
ference and the ordering of the work
done, as in no other official is so much
power vested. The order was not for
mai, but was agreed on at conference
between the mayor, engineer and
health commissioner. Where City En-
gineer Rundlett was hampered by the
stringent provisions of the charter, DR..
Ohage had only to show that the health
of the city was involved and there
would be no alternative but to obey
had there been controversy-which
there was not. The city must pay the
bills.
Mayor Smith summoned DR.. Ohage
to a conference Friday, at which City
Engineer Rundlett was also present.
and it was. this that was responsible
for the cleaning done that same night.
