Days.

Mayor Parsons has found out that
moral suasion is all right in some re

when it comes TO cleaning up the city.
He has therefore decided upon more
strenuous tactics and yesterday issued
orders TO Chief of Police Egan to no.
tify the property owners along Rail
road street that if the street is not
cleaned within the next few days
their arrest and prosecution in the
city courts for violation of the ordi-
nance. viii follow.
Soon after his induction into Office
the mayor sent ferth notices TO people
all over the city 10 "clean up.
Most OF the people threw the notices
out in the street and forgot them
while few made a stagger at clean
ing up the premises and the streets
and sidewalks near by. But thost
who made such an effort were soon
disheartened and discouraged when
they saw that their neighbors were
not giving the Greater Cairo" move
any particular worry.
