MUSE is FL0URISHING.

The following verses were sent into The
Herald by a woman who has labored for
the Clean City and is willing to do her
part in keeping her front walk clean:
In the good old summer time,
In the good old summer time;
Strolling up and down our streets
Almost any time,
You'll find the sidewalks strewn with
trash
All up and down the line.
And yet there's nothing doing
To keep our city looking fine.
In the good old winter time,
In the good old winter time,
The snow stays on the sidewalks
Till the sun begins to shine,
And then in pools of water
NO, it's sticky, sOoty slime.
We slip and slide and founder
In the good old winter time.
Let's hope there'n come a better time,
Now almost any time,
When you will care for your front walk
And 1 will care for mine.
But if we don't get busy
And make our city shine,
Then let there be something doing
In the way Of levying fines.
