KEEP BONF|RES
OFF STREETS
Chief Burke Orders Patrol
men TO Arrest Persons
Who Start Them.
CLEAN THE SIDEWALKS

The patrolmen have been ordered by
Chief Burke to arrest anyone caught
building bonfire in the street. The
chief says that this applies to men
women or children and the first one
caught will be arrested and punished.
The building of fires in the cutters
or center of the streets, Chief Burke
says, is against the law. Blazes on
asphalt, asphalt block or wooden block
pavements, he says, ruin them and bon
6res not only create a nuisance with
smoke, but are really dangerous AS gen;
orally the person who starts one does
not remain and watch it until 1t ha,
burned out. 1t is a habit of many tc
take their waste papers and rubbish
into the street, set them on fire and
them leave them to burn up. The
sparks menace buildings and children
are often burned by playing around
them
Clear Snow From Walks.
In addition to these orders the pa
trolmen have been instructed to notify
every property owner who has moi
cleared the snow from his sidewalk, to
do so at once. Failure to comply is
likely to result in arrest.
