MAKE YOUR TOWN LOOK BETTER

The city of Denver is taking the lead
in a unique movement for municipal
improvement in which the citizens are
led by the example of the administra-
tive officials to each do their share. Each
year the Mayor of Denver designates a
Saturday in May, this year it was the
last one in the month, to be known as
cleanup day" during which a display
of individual civic pride transforms the
city from the begrimed dullness of Win
ter to the fresh and neat appearance of
springtime. The results of this unique
observance in Denver this year are re-
ported as being marvellous. The city
authorities set the example by Thoroughly
cleaning all down town business streets
and alleys. Hundreds of property ow-
ners repainted and repaired their build
ings. the work which could not be
finished Saturday being continued the
following week. Lawns in all parts of
the city we're tidied up and shade trees
trimmed. Weeds were cut on vacant
lots and sidewalks repaired everywhere.
The city was transformed in a day and
the result so generally gratifying that
Denver citizen are a unit in enthusiast
tically declaring that Denver must from
this time on bear the distinction of be-
ing the cleanest city in the United
States. The city council has decided to
each year offer prizes for the most at
tractive down town store front, for the
finest flower garden, for the best kept
lawn, for the ~eleanest vacant lot and fol-
the most beautiful residence block. The
example which Denver is setting other
cities throughout the United States is
one worthy of emulation, no matter
whether it be a metropolis of industry
in the east or only a stirring little town
of small population here in the west.
Here are some suggestions made by
the Mayor of Denver to the citizens in
the proclamation in which he designated
Saturday, May 9th as a general clean
ing up day for the property owners:
If your store front, residence or fence
is dull or dingy order it painted.
If your awning is old, torn or faded,
get a new n
If your sidewalk, fence or gate needs
repairing, Tx it.
Destroy the young weeds that are start
ing on your property.
If your advertising sign is old or
faded, take it down or paint it.
Resolve never to throw waste paper or
other rubbish into the street.
Take all dandellons out of your lawn
they spell its beauty.
Organize a block improvement society
and allow no weeds to grow along the
sidewalks or on vacant lots in your block
Ask your milkman, groceryman and
draymen to have their outfits painted
and fixed up.
Never mind the size of your home see
that it rivals your nelghbor IN neatness.
Burn up all rubbish possible, allow no
one to throw it into the streets or alleys.
