TEAMS SHOULD FOLLOW
THE DITCH CLEANERS

Protiting by last years experience,
when the dirt from the bitches was
left on the sides of the street until
much of it had gone back into the
bitches and been scattered over the
streets. the attention Of City Marshal
Stirling has been called thereto. 1t
is suggested that teams follow closely
behind the diggers and remove the de-
bris. Another thing against which
some complain is the throwing Of the
rubbish from the cutters into the
street, blocking the bicycle path and
rendering wheeling such a day as to-
day, when often there r places filed
with mud and water in the street, al
most impossible.
Spring creek overflowed on the fiat
tract of land west of the city park this
morning. flooding that district and
making OF the sides of the streets
veritable rivers of red colored water.

perate ever committed in or about
Chicago. has never been fastened upon

and the identity of the bandits has re-
NAMED mystery to the police until

$4,000, the rest of the money having
been destroyed by the explosion Of
