Fred Roquette and Will Dickinson
were out with petitions for a street
sprinkler Yesterday. The conditions

the dust. The business men are really
obliged to have the streets sprinkled in
order to enjoy life during the working
hours. The merchants have sent for
catalogs and if the city pays a part Of
the expense every business man will be
ready to do his share to maintain a reg
ular street sprinkler.
