Mayor Cutchin recognizes how that In
addition to the work OF the authorities
each and every householder must attend
to his own premises. The streets Of an
ancient city were kept clean BY the law
which required each and every house,
holder to sweep before his own door, but
It is more important to keep the back
premises clean. IT is in the backyards
that filth accumulates and Will continue
to accumulate and make trouble unless
care is taken to get rid of the nccnnu-
lation from day to day. At this sea-
son Of the year every householder should
look well after the back premises, clean
up thoroughly and give generous
sprinkllng of lime, or some other dis
nfectant. It will cost something to do
this. but 1t will not cost as much as

mond and all other cities OF Virginia
keep themselves clean and healthful by
having every householder sweep IN the
rear OF his house. The municipality
