"A great many of the property
owners along Second street are con-
tinual violaters of at least one of our
city ordinances by virtue of the fact
that they have neglected to trim the
trees along their walks as prescribed

forced to dodge in and out along the
walk or take the middle of the street.

ing for prohibition. Governor Hoke
Smith states that he will sign the bill.
