A CLEAN CITY.

The city council at its regular
meeting Tuesday adopted two I'M
portant measures, which were wise
ly determined upon, and which are
both in the right direction.
At the urgent request of the buSl-
ness people Of the city, the promise
was made that the business streets
Of the city would be kept clean OF
trash, paper and garbage for the
future. The merchants have been
requested to purchase gar
bage cans, to contain the trash
which has been Iiteratting the
streets, and the city agreed to haul
this off weekly.
The other measure was the IN
initial steps to install meters upon
the pipes of all water consumers,
which will lead to a permanent
cutrailment of the waste of water,
and fair division among the people
Of the expense Of keeping up the
system.
The News heartily commendS the
city fathers for both measures.
They have already been too long
deferred. .-Ellisville News.
The above clipped from our neigh
boring town, Ellisville, could well
be followed in our battle for pros
perity. Pascagoula is waking up
and the business men want to see
the town build up, not only the
business men but all the citizens
are interested in anything that will
tend to upbuild the town and sur
rounding country. Why not as a
starter toward that end, present the
council with a petition TO nave tne
streets kept in a clean and sanitary
condition. 1t is an easy matter to
keep paper off the streets and the
rotton fruit peels should not be al
lowed to be thrown on the streets
at all.
The merchants will, we are sure,
so-operate with the council to en-
force the ordinance thereby making
the town more healthy, clean and
sanitary, making a better impression
on the tourists who come here with
a view to locating. We know we
have the best town in the state and
some of the best people also but to-
make the tourists and settlers believe
this is what we want to do and the
only way to make that i'm IMPRESSION
is to CLEAN UP.
