A PRoCLAMATIoN.~

The heated term is now upon us,
with its attendant possibilities for
disease, and 1t is incumbent upon the
people to use every effort to miti-
gate its ills and to prevent as far
as we can the maladies usually prev
alent ut this season. To this end
It is essential to our physical well
being as community that our
streets. alleys and premises be thor
oughly cleaned. This Is the first
step towards the prevention of dis
ease. With back yards. vacant lots
and public highways reeking with
dirt OF every imaginable character,
wet by rains and fermented by heat.
sickness is the inevitablei result
You as citizens are, therefore. urged
to thoroughly clean and disinfect
your premises. and to clean one-half
of the street in front of you, and
In your labors to clean the streets
you will receive the aid of the city.
July 18th and 18th have been des-
ignated as Clean Up Days. and II
is urged that all our people enter
heartily into the work OF making
and keeping clean Louisa.

An ordinance has been enacted
by the Council Of the City of Lou
lisa directing the in 'ovement or
parts of Franklin. -ison. Main.
Perry. Water. Main Cross. and
Lady Washington Streets by. the
construction Of street drainage or
sewer system and of a concret0
curb and gutter.
At the regular meeting Of the
City Council held on July End, 1912.
attack has been made upon the wis
dom of the council in taking this
action. and suggestion has been
made that such action has been
taken without the knowledge or ap-
proval of the citizens of Louisa
1t has not been the purpose Of
the Council to proceed, with undue
haste in this matter. but our in
tended action has been known for
some months and no serious objec-
tion has been made. However, oW-
ing to the suggestion Of uEvar-
ranted action contrary to puhlie
sentiment. we desire now that an
interested shall confer with the
members Of the Council in order
that full understanding may be
had of what is proposed to be dons
SO that the sentiment OF the pub
lie may be properly Expressed IN
our action.
The purpose Of this work is TO
drain the water from the streets
into concrete curb and gutter
from which it will pass at inter
walls into the drainage sewer, there
by affording the streets q reason
able chance to keep dry. which wiz
be increased by proper grading and
crowning in the middle.
We believe and are advised that
such improvement will obviate the
necessity for streets paved with
brick. which we have felt too ex-
pensive for Louisa to incur at this
time.
The cost of this improvement es-
timated at less than $2.oO per foot Z
front is to be borne c9e-half hx.-

Of the streets impyoved, except
street intersections which are 10
be paid for by the City out OF the
funds. Payment may be
made in full at the completion OF
the work or 10 per cent each year
for 10 years.
Any councilman will furnish any
Information that may be desired
Recognizing that we are servants

'r of whose franchise we are en-
.rusted with public office, we ask

clearer or more eloquent exposition
Mrs. Lackey was followed by Mrs.
Kennison,the President of the Club,
who told. in effective words, what
she had done for her own premis-

Mrs. Guy Atkinson was not back

The dominant note in the splendid
talks of these ladies rang out clear
and strong. 1t was an appeal 70

With the outlook of three tick
cts being placed in the field in
Custer County this fall, the po-
litical situation is indeed getting
interesting. The Bull Moosers
have joined with the republicans
and democrats in mixing up the
dope for the political pot and by
the time the last Of the county
conventions are over it will start
to boil. The Bull Moosers claim
that they are going to put in a
full county ticket, some of the
candidates former democrats and
others former republicans. The
