 Playground

At the next meeting of the Ensley club a resolution will be introduced by W. R. Stewart calling for the setting apart and designating of a day in the near future to be known as "clean up day The plan suggested in the resolution seeks to enlist the aid of every citizen in this work, the object of which is to clean up every alley, cellar, street and vacant lot in and about the city.
 The further suggestion is made that the city of Birmingham be requested to send out the entire street cleaning force to this point for ono day, that all con- tractors be requested to furnish one or more teams on this day, that every land- lord and tenant make special effort to clean up their premises, and that every person do his or her part in this pro- posed work. The city is to be divided into districts. each in charge of a cap tain who will appoint as many aides as lie sees fit It will also be suggested that all the rubbish of each district be burnt up and that a member of the fire department be on hand to see that the fire is not in danger of speading.
 The city health office will also be ask ed to cooperate as the removal and destruction of the accumulated rubbish will greatly diminish the number of fly breeding places. The promoters of the scheme believe that the entire city can be covered in few hours with the help and assistance of the citizens.
