PUBLIC NOTICE.

Parents are particularly requested to
instruct their children against doing any
thing in any way that viii disfglre or
destroy the street signs that have been
put up recently. It has come to our
notice that there are quite few Of
the signs defaced and the enamel broken
by boys throwing stones. The City
Council have therefore caused this no
tice and warning to be published to the
effect that any boys caught throwing
stones at, or in any other way doing
anything that viii tend TO destroy or
deface any street sign in the city, will
be punished as the law provides.
By order of the City Council.
