Letter to Town
Trustees
Holly, Colorado,
April 9Th, 1911.

o me iIOUWdOte LoUb1 " ~
the Torn Of Holly:
Ara meeting OF the WOman's Civic
club of Holly, committee on Streets
and Alleys was appointed tn investigate
the streets and alleys of Holly with view
of ascertainins their real condition and OF
deciding upon some means whereby the
same could he made more sanitary and
beautiful.
This committee made thorough in
spection of all the alleys and premises in
town and respectfully beg to call to your
attention the following conditions which
exist:
LIST. Many Of the vacant lots about
town serve as dumping ground for tin
cans, iecayed vegetable and karbate,
causing very unsishtly appearance. We
respectfully suggest that the vacant lots
about town. while not very attractive in
themselves, should not be made less So
by allowing litter to sccumulate thereon
in which to breed disease. We would
suggest especially that the lots in the
downtown district be cleaned up. as they
are at present in a very bad state.
End The alleys generally all over town
were found to be in much worse con.
dition than anticipated.
1t is the earnest desire of the Woman's
Civic club, which this committee repre-
sents, to beautify our town and make it
as nearly as possible "spotless" one.
In doing what we can to correct the
above undesirable conditions in our
streets, alleys and vacant lots, the people
would not only be making great progress
in this direction, but would be doing an
immense amount OF good to guard the
health OF the community. Too much
stress cannot be put upon this point at
the present time when the summer
season is approaching and the hot weather
will make existing conditions objection
able and exceedingly dangerous, being SO
conducive to the spreading of disease.
We further beg to call to your attention
the fact that these conditions can be
remedied by enforcing an ordinance of
our town which already exists, viz: Or
dinance No. 10, entitled, "An Ordinance
Concerning Nuisances and Providing
Penalties for the Violation Of the Same
q copy of which is attached hereto.
To further assist the autho rites in
carrying out the spirit of this ordinance,
we are placing in the hands of the Town
Marshal list of delinquents whose
premises were found to be in condition
which calls forth the complaints as stated
above.
We, therefore, earnestly hope the
Honorable Board Of Trustees will take
immediate steps to enforce the ordinance
which is already in effect in rekard to
these matters, and help US to make our
town not only "hustlins," but q clean
and sanitary place.
Respectfully submitted,

Committee Reports Progress in the Arrangements

Committee Reports Progress in the Arrangements.
 The committee of the Business Mems Association, appointed to arrange a smoker for the next meeting of the Association -Messrs. Al. Wigglesworth, Frank Wilcox and George Roger-have engaged Eugene Williams as caterer for the occasion. which will be enjoyed in Odd Fellows Hall, on Thursday evening. May 4, instead of Monday evening, the 1st,as originally announced. It has been decided to change the date in order to avoid inconvenience that would result from the fact that the Odd Fellows regular lodge night is Monday night, and to give the Odd Fellows who are also members of the Business Men s Association an opportunity to attend both their lodge meeting and the smoker.
 Light refreshments and smokes will be served; the business of the regular monthly meeting will be trans actek; it is expected that there will be a more or less informal discussion of plans for the future usefulness of the organization, and the committee may perhaps have a speech-maker or two sup their sleeves" for the occasion.
 It is going to be an enjoyable, free and-easy family gathering which the Business Men should not miss Incident ally. it's designed to strengthen the ..Get Together spirit and the interest ill the Association and in the welfare of Canaan-and that's the thing we all fervently desire.

EXTENSIVE REPAIRS
 INTHE TOWN HALL
Walls Put in Good Condition and Re- painted, and all Seats and Wood- work Repaired, Stained
 and Vanished.

Repairs in the Town Hall are practi- cally finished. and the improvements that have been " rought there will be an agreeable surprise to the next audience or assemblage that gathers in the audi torium, Selectman Peirce had given orders to have the place put into good condition-and there was need enough of such attention. as everyone knows. The side walls, which had been vigor- oasly punished by the ferocity of basket ball gladiators, recklessness in the shift ing of benches, and occasional over strenuous dancers. have been thoroughly repaired.
 In many places the walls had been broken through, lath and all. and had to be replaced with large patches of entirely new work, from the "studdiDg." The walls have been painted, over their en- tire surface, and all the woodwork, in- cluding the entire paneled ceiling, tie waiuscoting, stage proscenium, window and door castings, and seats have been vanished.
 The chairs and benches from orchestra to family circle, have been put into good condition many of the chairs and benches having required heroic treat ment.
 The whole work of repair and over hauling has been done under the super vision of Janitor Blass, who did much ot the work himself and the hall is now in a condition that invites the admira- tion of all citizens, and there should be, with reasonable care, no need of any extensive repairs for many years to come.
 The stage itself has received due at- tsntion, together with it's accessories, and it is not unlikely that & new drop curtain will be procured before the theatrical season opens.

ACTIVITY AT QUARRY
MINING BLOCK MARBLE
 FOR HARTFORD BUILDING
Two New Lime KiIns to be Con- :. structed at AIlyndaIe Works, Equip
 ped With Electric Cable and Modern
 Machinery. ,.......

Activities have begun. at the marble quarries of the Allyndale White Marble and Lime Co.'S. plant, East Canaan. Ground was broken, Monday, for the construction of two lime kilns to be erected immediately and put in opera tion as soon as completed, for the manu- fracture of lime. The requisite equip ment and machinery will be installed at the earliest possible moment, including an electric cable from 1000 to 1,200 feet long, for transporting the limestone from the quarry to. the kilns. The equipment will be of the most modern design and the utmost effectiveness.
 The water is being pumped out of the deep quarry excavat ol, preparatory 10 the resumption of quarrying operations, and special machinery put ill for quarry ing marble in blocks for the construction of the new municipal building in Hart ford for which material the Allyndale Company has secured the contract. A little later an outfit of machinery for dressing and cutting marble into orna- mental designs will be added and finish ed sculpture work will be turned out on the premises, for. building, ornaments tion and other purposes.
 The starting up of this well-known plant will be an event of importance to East Canaan and this whole vicinity and add materially to the business impor- tance of the place. The East Canaan marble. of which the capitol at Hartford is constructed, is widely known, and it's production, years ago, was one of the important industries of this section.
 Since the news of the contemplated resumption of operations here has gone forth. large numbers of applications for employment have been received by the Compahy, from stone-cutters. black smiths and ordinary laborers, and the pIants-both lime and mar ble-will start up with an adequate force of competent help.

Construction Work Near Ashley Falls
 Vigorously Pushed
 Work on the trolley construction is progressing. Fne road immediately north of Ashley Falls is bustling with activity, and an inspection of the work around the bridges near George Blod- gett s will show results accomplished
 The road bridge has been moved sew eral feet to the east to make room for the trolley bridge and road-bed between that and the railroad bridge. A sub- stantial concrete retaining wall has been constructed on each side of the trolley road bed leading to the bridge, and the bridge itself, heavy steel structure has been put in position. The work is well one and looks as If it might be good for all time.
 The grading process is under way at various points along the line. where large gangs of laborers are at work, one gang being engaged near the barracks below the Ashley Falls depot, well along to- ward the Hoag crossing.
 In the meantime the situation as re. gards the Canaan terminal is still up> in the air, so far as any definite informa I ton from an authoritative source is con cerned, and the inevitable irresponsible guess work and speculation continue,

CANAAN CLEANUP DAY
 ACCOMPL ISLES RESULTS
All Over the Village People Were Out, Several Days Last Week, and
 Rubbish Has Disappeared.

HuDDISn mas OtSappeaTeQ.
 Cleanup day" in Canaan. which, in fact, covered several days of last week, was in every respect as successful an experiment. as the Canaan Business Men's Association could have expected or asked for. Citizens of the village began cleaning up early in the week, and the work continued until Saturday, as the people found it convenient or advisable to attend to it. Friday, the day appointed for general effort, was a most unfavorable day for the work, hs it rained almost necessarily from morn ing till night, and thus the plans of many who counted on the holiday for getting their door-yards and lawns into good shape were forced to abandon the work or leave it half done, to be com! pleted the next day, though some kept at it consistently in the rain, until after noon, and kept bonfires blazing as long as the rubbish would burn.
 l The result of this concerted effort to clean up the town must be gratifying to every resident, Through the whole l length and breadth of the village, with very rare exceptions, the appearance has been transformed to one of neatness that is pleasing to behold and in which the village may take a righteous pride. Aud the fact that this transformation has been accomplished practically lover night" is an indication of what is still more significant and gratifying-that 1 the people of Canaan are ready and willing to "get together" and pull together for common purpose and a common benefit. Not only is every resident proud of the work accomplished, but every visitor and stranger within our gates must be impressed with a conviction that the spirit of civic pride has taken hold upon us as a community and that we can, and do, work together in harmony.
 Cleanup day" has justified the confidence of the Business Men S Association in the people of the town, and it has justified the organization and existence of the Business Mems Association and proved the value of it us an institution. It is creating and foster ing d community sentiment that is bound to prove of inestimable value tc the town and intensify the spirit oi Get Together"

Copper and the precious metals have

Companies promoted with a mine

ION the curb" and instantly the mantle
of semi-respectability is thrown over
them. The man who would never
think of investing in stock sold by
mail or through an agent is eager to
thrown his money away when he can
see a daily report of just how his
stock is selling. Then there is the
sale of stocks on the installment plan,
one of the neatest and safest of swind-
ling schemes.
There are twenty-five or thirty of
these swindlers who are advertising in
the New York newspapers and
throughout the country. The stock is
to be bought at the market price on
the day the contract is made, of
course, and with the letter the victim
receives a list of hundreds of curb
stocks. His attention is cleverly
called to several particular stocks, and
eventually one of these is forced upon
him as conjurer forces a card upon
the yokel IN his audience.
The stock is not bought when the
first ten per cent of the purchase
price is sent on. In fact the stock is
rarely bought at all. The victim con
tinues to send on his five per cent a
month for at least eighteen months
and during this time the natural fuc
