THOSE DIRTY STREETS.

Church goers were much dlsaD
pointed Sunday morning to find that
the paved streets had not been swept
and washed down. During the term
of the democratic council and partic
nlarly just before the election the
streets were bright and clean on Sun
day morning. The new republican
council and the Board OF Affairs seem
to have forgotten that we wanted nice
clean streets on the Sabbath. Whether
this was an oversight on the part OF
the council and the board is not
known, but the public hopes that the
custom of cfAaning the paved streets
on Saturday night will be resumed.
