Clean the City.-Through the efforts
Of Mayor Wise Astoria now has a
gatherer OF tin cans and old rubbish,
in the person OF Nels Jensen, of
Smiths Point. This is in line with the
work which the various improvement
clubs throughout the city, are doing,
and is an idea which is bound to take.
According to the plan, Mr.. Jensen is to
receive nominal price per month from
each property owner who desires to
have the refuse accumulating on his
premises. removed The sum viii be
either 30 cents or dollar month,
and by paying Mr. Jensen this amount,
he will agree to remove all rubbish from
the property, the owner having first
collected il and placed it in a convenient
spot where il can be removed. This
new arrangement is one that should be
gladly accepted by every property own
er. In the past there has been no means
whereby any refuse might be gotten rid
of and people have usually disposed of
it either by dumping it into some va
cant lot near by or throwing it on a
neighbor's premises. All Astorians who
are in favor of keeping their yards
clean are requested to communicate
with Mr.. Jensen or with the secretary
of the improvement club in their dis
trict, who will inform Mr.. Jensen. The
secretaries of the improvement clubs
are as follows; Harrison Allen, Shively;
p. b, Sovey, McClures; Carl Loven,
West End; II. NJ. Lorutsen, East End.
