NOTICE.

De Smet is one of the best cities in
South Dakota. That it may be kept
good and made better, it is important
among other things hat the laws and
ordinances relating to cities be OBJ
served. Attention at this time is
called to the following: The state
law relating to the speed of auto
mobiles and motor vehicles on the
streets; the city ordinances relating
to throwing deposits on streets and
alleys, and cleaning of premises; the
requirements as to construction and
and repair of ess pools; and the
ordinince prohibiting the riding OF
bicycles on sidewalks. A careful
observance Of the above, as well as
all other city ordinances, will be
much appreciated.
