Mayor of La Junta
Resents Criticism
MAD Two Cleanup Days During the Sum.
mes. and Says Editor Of the Tribune 10
Afnicted with Loss Of Memory

you are not meddling In politics, but
attending to business"
Your humble servant,
b. NJ. 'SPALDING, Mayor.
Our mayor is very much mistaken
when he says that the Tribune is
certainly very forgetful or else de-
sires to deceive the public" The Tri-
bune never attempted to deceive the
public upon any question. and SO far
as the editor Is concerned he is
quite confident that he never at
tempted to deceive even a single In
divhual In the whole course of his
life, The Tribune has always tried
to reflect public sentiment. 1t ad-
vocated a cleanup day this summer
when almost every town In the state,
except La Junta, WAS having a clean
up campaign. We advocated a clean
up day for the reason that the mat
ter was suggested to us by several
prominent citizens. We thought the
suggestion was good one and on
June 5th. under the head Of Dirt and
Darkness advocated Cleanup
Day"
We are quite well aware that
cleanup day was advertised In La
bills announcing the event were
printed in our office. This has been
a custom for ten years or more that
We know Of, but we did not know
that any more attention was paid to
1t this year than usual. II may be-
true. as the mayor says. that ninety
per cent Of the people complied with
the request. We did not tnvsattgate,
and the mayor did. therefore he n
better qualified to express an opin,
ION as to whether or not the request
was complied with.
We do know. however. that tho
streets and vacant lots Of La JuntA
were ornamented during the past
summer with a prolific growth of
weeds. There was one patch Of woods
In particular, In the vicinity Of Cimar.
ron avenue and Third street. which
stared us In the face three times q
day while we were eating our meals.
and 1t played such havoc with our ap-
petite that we had to go to the Gun.
a. IN e.
A half dozen or more prominent
citizens made complaint to the Tri-
bune about the weeds that infested
our streets and vacant lots during
the past summer, but the best we
could do was TO set good example
by keeping the weeds In front OF
our own premises obliterated. We be.
lic,e that property owner who
takes the trouble and stands the ex.
pense OF maintaining u lawn Is en-.
titled to some protection from tho
city. These weeds are permitted to
go To seed and then are blown by
the four winds OF heaven all over
the nelghbOrhood.
Property owners should be com.
PEELED by ordinance to keep tho
streets and alleys. and also tho va
cant lots free from weeds. ~ well ~
tin cans. which In themselves are
entirely harmless. and II they fail or
neglect to do NO the city should do
the work and charge II up to the
property. In some eastern cities
they are waxinx 4 war on weeds ~
preventative OF hay fever. and II
the city dads OF La Junta would try
the experiment and II should prove
successful In cradicatinx the ailment.

hercabouiH who would rise up and
call them blessed.

WANT ORDINANCE FOR
 INSPECTOR

Firmly convinced that their interests and those of the general public as well would be bettered by the municipal regulation of building, the contractors of this city are preparing to ask the city council to adopt new building or dinance which will provide for build. ing inspector.
 Contractors Charles F. Fruin, Al. Alt wies and J. F.. Merriam, ac ting on be- half of all of the contractors of this city, have been working on the new building ordinance for the past several days. The contractors are almost unan. imously in favor of such a measure and the matter may be brought before the council at tonight s session.
 The idea of the building contractors is to have license fee provided, which will at least in measure meet the eX- pense of a building inspector's salary.
 It is probable that the plumbers will join with the carpenters in asking for this ordinance, in order that this branch of work may be licensed and inspected.
