lie, As far as possible, to rid the
town Of flies. This we all recog-
nize as a thing much to be desired,

feet the provisions CT the ordi-
nanceP If properly and efficiently

ty to the effect, that flies will hard
ly be noticeable in the community.

that they are properly cleaned out
and kept in proper condition, es
pecially through the Lot season
which Is now approaching.

many things, let's see to it that "
