OUR STREETS AND AVENUES
Should be Made and Kept With Uni
form Neatness and the Police
Should Enforce This Rule

The paving of Washington avenue
and Walnut street left a wide strip of
unpaved space on the sidewalks, which
should receive the constant attention
of the owners of adjoining property.
These spaces are capable of being
made highly ornamental and beauti-
full by the simple means of planting
them with grass and keeping it care
fully moved
Of course property owners who
take a proper interest and pride in
their premises will see that these
spaces are not allowed to become un-
slightly with growth of weeds, or a
receptacle for refuse in the business
districts
There are many, however, who are
quite indifferent to such considera-
tions, and these should be compelled
to keep their sidewalks, as nearly as
possible, III state of uniform neat
ness. The spaces of bare ground were
not left as receptacle for banana and
orange skins, cast off paperboxes. etc
and one of the duties of the police
force should be to see that such a
misuse of them is not TO be tolerated
