The committee of thirty-fivc have
issued the following statement:
If any are in doubt about the sue
cess of the campaign for cleaning up
the yards and alleys of the city, all
they have to do is to take drive over
any part of town and see the trans
formation for themselves. While
there are few places that need at
tention, alley after alley, even in out
lying districts, will be found in per-
feet condition and really beautiful to
lcok at. The work that has been done
on unpaved alleys is a great credit to
the leutenants and residents. A great
deal Of credit must also be given to
the boys and girls who went to work
with will on the public holiday.
They were very much in evidence dur
Ing the early hours on April 30, but
during the afternoon were not at
work merely because their work had
been completed.
While more than ninety.five per cent
OF the blocks are believed to be clean,
careful check of the reports received
at headquarters indicate that a com
paratfvely small portion of the clean
docks have been so reported by lieu
tenants. Whether this is due to mod.
esty on their part or reluctance to
having their names published in the
papers is not known to the commit
tee, but 1t is very necessary to know
Just what work remains to be done.
and 1t is particularly requested that
heutenants In charge of all blocks
where the work has been completed
eltneh write or telephone the Keokuk
industrial Association telephone Bell
1850 at once. This refers to lieu
tenants who have not yet made re-
port
Although substantially all blocks
are known to be clean, In the first
ward only eighteen out of forty-fve
Heutenants have SO reported
IN the second ward only fifteen out
OF sixty-fve have so reported.
IN the third ward only nineteen out
oi iorty-nlne have SO reported.
IN the fourth ward only twenty-five
ou. OF seVenty-seven have so reported.
In the fifth ward only twenty-six out
OF forty-eight have so reported.
10 the sixth ward only ten out OF
Iorty-sx have so reported,
IN the seventh ward only twenty
nine out Of f1fty-two have so reported.
All neutenants who have not re-
ported are therefore urged to do so
a. once, addressing or telephoning the
heokuk INDUSTRIAL Association. 1t is
the opinion of the committee that
.here IS not one man or woman in
.oWh VINO will not willingly clean up
aileys Tor which they are responsible,
ou. u there are any delinquents the
wy authorities have agreed to compel
,'efn 10 be good, hence the necessity
,of tne reports from lieutenants who
nave not responded.
