Just as our last isaue was being made

THE ordinance recently passed by
the city council removing hitching 2
posts from Main street has bean passed
up to the people for approval by the
referendum and vote on the matter will
be taken next Monday. We always
have favored the removal of these
posts and the supplying of good
plenty on the side streets. Just at this
time when the property owners
al ,ng Main street are being put to con-
siderable expense to put in cement
cutters, we regard it as peculiarly un
fortunate to seek the retention of these
unsightly posts. III the posts are set
close to the cutters the hol ses are sure
to destroy them by their stamping; If
set any distance away, when the posts
are full team can scarcely get
through the street. Vote to sustain the
ordinance and thus encourage the
council to continue the good work OF
civic Improvement so well begun this
summer!
