CLEAN Up THE OFFICIAL BARN.
YARD,

Since tho subject of abating the nuisance
known as the hay market was preached
the other day our citizens have become
thoroughly aroused to the necessity Of
taking prompt as we'll as vigorous meas
ures to rid the center of the city of this
place frequently as objectionable to the
olfactory nerves as it is to the sense Of
sight. Citizens have taken to counting
on the electric cars or otherwise. and
many OF our people are surprised over
the discoveries made. One resident says
that in passing the market ground the
other day his nose was RECALLED with tho
eteantng contents Of two strong smelling
will carts, In addition 10 tho stencil which
arose from the accommodations in what
has come to be a veritable barn yard

repeated.
The city receives no return from the fur
Thklhng Of this valuable ground what
even We would not dream Of providing
place where people could come with
potaaoes OF cordwood. or lumber or any
other commodity. and II we must have
q hay yard. 1t should be somewhere else
than on the widest and most beautiful
street and near the very center of the
business section so far as the municipality
itself Is concerned.
Now that the Jail commissioners have
listened to public sentiment by securing
q new location for the iail, there is all
the more reaon why the city should itself
set good example by clearing up and
improving the appearance OF the official
barn yard next to the present Jail. Let
the park commissioners take this plot in
hand and we guarantee they will work
