CLEAN-U DAYS.

Rakes and Broolns Brought Into
Play at Suggestion of Woman's
Civic League-Spring HousecIean.
ing ON a Large Scale.
Acting upon petition addressed to
him by the Woman's Civic League of
Donaldsonville, Mayor Charles Maurin,
who is always ready and anxious to lend
his best effort toward promoting the sue
cess of any movement docking to the inn
provement of the community or the adj
vancement of its material welfare, has
issued a proclamation designating Friday
and Saturday, April and s, as cleanup
days, and calling upon all progressive
and public-spirited citizens to cooperate
III making Reinforcement a success. All
trash. garbage, etc, Il placed upon the
streets in receptacles is being promptly
removed by the town cartnaen, in accord
ance with orders from the mayor, and on
all sides is seen evidence that the work of
the civic league in this instance has met
with popular approval and that the proc
lamation of the mayor is receiving the
hearty endorsement and support of all
good citizens.
in order to facilitate the work of clean
ing up the town and keeping it in a sani-
tary condition, Mayor Maurin has en-
ployed large force of men to thoroughly
clean the cutters along the various streets,
and much progress has been made in this
commendable undertaking. The cleaning
OF these bitches not only enhances the
appearance of the streets, but also adds
materially to their effectiveness for drain
age purposes. Later on the civic league
proposes to employ a man to flush the
cutters all over the city at least once
week.
