Ogden June 22.--'Spotless Town" is
ne slogan that has been adopted by
the health and fire departments in
their crusade for cleanliness in Ogden.
THESE two departments renewed their
work this morning in ordering gem
eral clean up of the city, particularly
IN the business district.
Since the recent Investigation of the
condition existing in the rear of many
buildings as being undesirable from the
fanitary point OF view as we'll as dan
gerous from fires, vigorous steps have
been taken which in some cases may
result in prosecutions. The attention
Of many citizens has been called TO the
filth that menaces the city, as well
as to the frame buildings, which are
nothing more than fire traps, and I'M
less the conditions are remedied sew
eral arrests may follow.
The fire chief and the sanitary in
spector with the aid of the police are
urging the immediate action of the
merchants in cleaning up their prem
tses on account of the near approach
OF the Fourth of July. Notices have
been mailed to all those having prop
erty in the business district calling
their attention to the conditions and
giving them one week to remedy the
same. If no notice is taken of the
warnings the offenders will be brought
before the court and a heavy fine i'm
posed.

The action of the board of education
in setting July 10 as the date upon
which the taxpayers of Ogden can vote
upon the question of bonds for a new

will be voted for upon the bond ques-
ton. With part of this sum 1t is pro-
posed TO remodel the grade schools
and connect them with the sewer,
thereby insuring the sanitary condi-
tions.

WANTS WORK FOR BOYS AND
GIRLS.
Judge Gunnell of the Juvenile court
has taken steps toward the establish
ment of a bureau for the purpose of
securing employment for boys and girls
who have wandered from the straight
and narrow path.
According to Judge Gunnel idle
ness is the prime factor in causing
the children to get into mischief and
he thinks that II some effort was made
TO secure positions for the boys and
girls that 1t would be great benefit
to the community. 1t would also mean
the cutting down of the list of the

residents in the work. All those who
