MAYOR ORDERS
CHIEF OF POLICE
To Keep City Clean According
to Ordinance.
And to Arrest All viola.er..

Mother thing you can thank the Wo-
mans club for While some of these
good ladies have been discussing civil
service reform and household economics
and other SIGH like matters of govern
mental and residential policy, don't you
for one moment think they haven't also
had their eyes and their nostrilS offend
cd by the old papers, tin cans, and de
cayed vegetation which the ungodly
have cast into the streets of the city OF
Palatka and county of Putnam, in plain
violation of the ordinances made and
provided by the Council of Fourteen.
They have, or they were, or they did,
and they took action.
The club wrote out petition TO the
mayor, real nice, systematically worded
petition, and then proceeded TO get every
woman in town to-Sign il, which was
easy. The petition was of such length
rs 10 entitle it TO be spoken of by the
yards instead of feet.
Ii went TO the mayor. Result. His
honor has written 4 nice letter 10 Chief
OF Police Narnes, citing the ordinance,
and ordering him to enforce il TO the
letter, and the chief says he'll do it.
Bless YOU, good ladies, bless you. Here
is the ordinance;
Sec, IL. Ii shall be the duty of every
person occupying any lot or lots in the
city of Palatka to remove all weeds and
other noSiouS growth and TO remove all

walks and streets or street bordering
ssch lot or lots to the center OF such
street or streets and on failure so 10 do,
after notice from the chief of police,
may be punished as hereinafter provided.
Sec. 10. Ii shall be unlawful for any

Venient for the city scavenger.

MANUFACTURERS
OF PALATKA
Unite in Urging Signers Of
Whisky Petition to With
draw Their Names.

The leading manufacturers OF Palatka
and its environs on Saturday last united
in signing the following appeal to men
who signed the petition asking the
county commissioners TO call a special
wet or dry election:
We, some of the principle employers
of labor in Palatka, knowing that re-
turn of the saloons here would injure
our business, would earnestly request,
that unless they would be of special
good TO you, that you assist US in pre-
venting return of Them; which you can
do, by asking the County Commission
! ers 10 remove your name from the petit
I ton, and thereby do US kindness, as
well as save the county several hundred
dollars expense. If you wish TO help
the saloons in preference 10 us, let your
name remain; otherwise sign the slip
and have it removed.

amounts to IS, $40. 90, the reasonableness
of this request will be seen.
The business interests of Palatka do
not want the saloon returned TO this city.
