 Yuma, Oct. 16, 1911.

al for the splendid support have hat in my efforts to carry out the commis , sion of the Commercial Club as chair man of the clean up day committee.
 1 wish to especially thank MT Greer, MT. Stanton, Mir. J. T. Morrow the Pioneer Stables, MT. George Hard ing and others who rendered specia services.
 There were not wagons enough available for hauling off the trash, but this part of the work will be continu- ed for several days. The City Council should establish a regular garbage route in the residential districts as we'll as in the down town distrcts
 The people have cleaned up and cleaned out, and they should be en couraged to keep clean.
 Report Of Clean Up Day
 Prize Committee
 The committee selected to award the prizes offered for the neatest, cleanest premises after clean up day were Mrs. Hess, president of the Woman's Club; Mrs. Empey, presi- dent of the Ocotillo Club and MT. Me Graw, principal of the Main street school. Mrs. Hess was unavoidably detained at the last moment, hence, the duty devolved on Mrs. Pugh, sec retary of the Commercial Club.
 About eight strenuous hours were given to the task and nearly every home where family lives was in spected as to front yards, back yards, alleys and sidewalks. A great many points had to be considered. On some streets where so many places were found in excellent condition, it was difficult to arrive at a decision.
 The committee was received good naturedly and kindly everywhere and accorded free access to the premises. The spirit of Clean Up Day had per- meated the town, as only two families were found who had not heard of the day.
 In many places where the condi- tions were extremely hard and dis couraging, the people had made a very brave and determined effort to clear up their premises and make them clean and slightly, and all seemed glad to show the committee the result of their efforts. The committee took in to count the evidences of effort, the amount of work done, and the dispo sition to join in a movement for 2 clean town.
 The committee noticed several places in the best residence districts with clean and neat premises inside the enclosures, but where the side walks and street in front were so i'll 1 kept as to detract very much from the general appearance of the place In | other instances, places otherwise l clean were marred in appearance by 1
 
 fence on adjoining vacant lots.
 The owners of vacant lots should be requested to clean them up, and aft erward, anyone found using such lots as dumping ground should be fined. The committee noted some places ad- lacent to bill boards where it is clear ly impossible to keep the premises clear of papers from these bill boards and scattered by the wind.
 These unsightly bill boards for more than this, should be declared nuisance and promptly abated. Up- to-date towns and cities everywhere are making war upon them.
 The committees attention was call ed in several places to unsanitary con- 1itions.. These will be reported to he health authorities.
 The following were the prize win lers: First Prize, lawn mower, T. E. Me Jutcheon, Second avenue. Honorable Mention, Mrs. F. L. { Russell aand L. c. Grothaus, Second | Lvenue. I Second Prize, 25 feet of hose, Mrs. S ,. White, Main street.
