A TIDY TOWN
Is What Mineral Point Can BE
Made By Proper Efforts.
BEAUTIF1ING PARKS
Keeping Streets and Alleys Fre'
OF High Grass, Weeds and
Rubbish, Trimming
Shade Trees.

cuhaS AhNSS"
The good work of clearing up aud
beautifying the parks and other pub
lie places of the city is well under
way. The Park association formed
by the women a few months ago,
has already done good service. The
ladies have been given hearty encour-
agement by Mayor Osborne and other
city officials. The work of improve
ment should be carried steadily for
ward all along the line, in streets
and alleys in every part of the town.
And householders and other prop
erty owners should not look to an
association or to the city to do the
work which properly belongs to them
selves. The city can be kept neat and
clean by each person doing his part
in ready compliance with the ordinance
which requires the owner or occupant
OF property to keep the street or
streets, alley or alleys upon which his
premises abut, upon his side thereof,
clear and free from high grass, weeds
and rubbish. This Is the plain duty of
the citizen, although not insisted upon
as it should be by our city authorities.
1t needs no argument to show that
care in the direction indicated will
make our city more beautiful but that
the work thus expended will add to
the value of all the property. An
ordinance of the city makes it the
duty of each owner or occupant of
premises abutting on any street or
alley to trim and keep trimmed all
trees situated upon said owner or
occupants side of the street or alley
so that the branches and limbs with
their foliage shall not fall or hang
down lower than distance of ten
feet from any sidewalk, street or
alley. In this connection we quote the
following from the Monroe Times of
July %:
July is the month for trimming
the growing shade trees, such as the
maple, ash aud elm, for the reason
that the tree makes its most rapid
growth during the present month;
thereby tending TO heal the scars made
by the cutting in providing covering
of bark. There is hardly street in
town where the shade trees do not
need trimming, the low hanging
branches need clipping, especially
where they interfere with the pedes-
trian; the excessive shade in some
streets causes great dampness in the
homes on such streets, a state that
does not conduce TO the best sanitary
conditions. The present season is the
one in which this work should be
undertaken and there should be no
delay"
Mineral Point is situated in the CEN
ter of a beautiful tract of country.
The scenery is is simply grand. The
more beautiful our town is made the
more it will attract investors and vis-
itors, and the work of making it more
tidy and attractive should be con-
timed

Soon after the close Of the Civil wa,
Gen. Lee took up his post as president Of
