Village Improvement Association.
The next meeting of the Mount Holly
Improvement Association will be held in
the court house on Monday evening, at
7.30 All people of Mount Holly are in
vited to attend this meeting. The objects
of this association should be thoroughly

mittee last week several matters were dis.
cussed and some work was mapped out.
Directions we're given to have lot OF
trash on the corner of two principal street
removed. This will be done at the ex.
pense of the association. but such things
will not continue where the owner is able
to pay the bill. In fact there is no inten.
ton of prying into private property OIL
debating to any one how they shall do in
the conduct of their own homes. The OBJ
ject is to create a pride in keeping all
surroundings neat and clean.
To this end the teachers at the public
school have called attention of the pupil.
to the ordinance prohibiting throwing of
paper around the streets, and have asked
the children to carefully observe this
township law. The persons in charge Of
the old mill property corner of King ant
Washington streets. have been asked tt
clear away the brush and other things
there in order that persons coming into
town by steam cars and trolleys will no
be greeted by an ungainly pile of rubbish
Other matters have received attention ant
will be looked after with the hope tina
our surroundings may become pleasant t.
the eye and beneficial to health.
1t is hoped there will be large meeting
on Monday evening when addresses will
be delivered by those who have had ex
perience in the work and there will b,
much to learn on the subject. II all will
take hold in earnest this can be made on,
of the most useful organizations the towI
has ever had. This is the experience o.
all the places where the experiment hal
been tried.
