orders that no paper or other waste
material be thrown on the planking
or any of the streets of the city.

burned within the city limits it
must be done under careful super
vision before the hour of 10 O'Clock
forenoon, while things are still
damp from the night dew and less
danger from the wind, and to see
that such fire is entirely extinguished
