THE PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT.

Forrest City, one of the hustling little cities of Eartern Arkansas, has set about cleanup campaign that will, If carried out, put 1t second to no municipality in the State. Through It's City Council it has not only adopted set of regulations for the sanitary improvement of the town, but 1t has ordered them posted, and has sent out the warning that they must be obeyed or the violator will suffer for their infraction.
 This is the substantial way to get results. Put fine on the violation of sanitary laws and ordinances that will make the careless and the defiant come to time. The man who doesn't think enough of his community to observe the common rules established to promote the health of the city, shall pay dearly for the privilege of doing as he pleases. And that is just what Forrest City proposes to make him do. And that Is just where Forrest City is setting a most whole some example.
 Among other regulations Is one directed against livery stables, with the injunction that they must be kept in clean and sanitary condition at all times. That all refuse from such places must be kept cleared away and disinfected frequently with lime, etc.
 It Is re freshing to know that the smaller towns of the State are taking up these questions without any doubt as to being able to carry their plans into effect.
 The crusade of the Forrest City Council in behalf of better sanitation. In all its forms, will be watched with interest, and if thoroughly success ful, will serve as wholesome lesson to some of her larger neighbo = Arkansas Democrat.
The Forrest City times., 1912-06-21

disturbance raised by the negro pie ture show and vaudeville, which had been operated in one of the Sam Mann buildings on Jackson street. This show, it is said, operated on Sunday night, until it was stopped by the night marshal, acting under in. structions from Chief Davis It de- yeloped during the discussion that a petition had been started, asking that this show be abated as nuisance. Chief Davis, who was present, stated to the council that the negro running the show had ask him for permission to operate on Sunday, and that he had told him that while there was no statutory laws against such opera tion, that he thought that public sentiment in Forrest City would not stand for it. He said that as soon as the night marshal phone6 him Sun day night, that he instructed him to close the place at once, which was done. He protested against the cir culation of the petition without coming first to him.
 This discussion brought up gener- al discussion of the alleged nuisance which the negro quarters around the corner of Jackson and Rosser streets, were becoming. These places are rented as negro restaurants, barber shops, pool rooms, cheap lunch rooms, and all sort of cheap negro dives, and their presence causes the congregat- ing of large crowds of idle negroes, who block the sidewalks, and make 1t almost impossible to pass. This is the direct route to and from the Iron Mountain depot, and makes, 1t was suggested, a bad advertisement of the city to visitors coming in on these trains In this connection. City At torney Walter German stated that the services at the Episcopal church are disturbed by the inhabitants of these dives, and that on Monday night during the services being held at that church were almost broken up by several pistol shots fired, it was thought, in that locality. The mat ter was finally passed over with the opinion that while 1t was nuisance, that the negro quarters had gradual ly been forced of of the other streets of the city, and that while they were now congregated in one locality, it was better 10 leave it as It was. The marshal, however, was instructed to arrest every idle negro caught in that locality, and bring him before the mayor who could fine him for va grancy.
 NIT. Grosman, of the Forrest City Manufacturing Company, was present to ask about what disposition the council would make Of note held by
The Forrest City times., 1912-06-21

ms company against the city for Which scrip in the amount of some- thing over s4000 was held as collater- al. MT. Russell, as chairman of the finance committee suggested that the only way in which the city could take care of the note, which is due on June 24, was to issue scrip to the amount due the Manufacturing Company. In the absence of pr. Clark and MT. Knight, the other members of the committee, 1t was decided that a special meeting of the council would be called on the 20th, to ratify such action as the committee might take on the matter.
 MT. W. J. Lanier was present on behalf Of himself and other citizens of Jackson street, asking that con- crete sidewalks be laid on the south side of that street from Mir. George Dooley's gate to Forrest street. Up on motion sidewalk orders were or dered issued and the marshal was in- structed to serve them on the proper ty owners.
 It was suggested by several mem- bers present that numerous com plaints had reached them from pa- rents, of small boys, who had con- tracted the habit of infesting the streets at late hours and 1t was sug- gested that as an attempt to check this the curfew ordinance should be enforced, This ordinance requires that all boys under the age of eighteen one should be of of the streets after nine o'clock, at which hour curfew bell would be rung. The marshal was instructed to enforce the ordi- nance.
 MT. Hugh Mccormick, who lives in the Moore addition Was present. and asked that street be opened up so he could get to and from his residence. On motion, the matter was referred to the streets and alleys committee.
 There being no further business council adjourned.
 Proceedings of adjourned session will be found on another page.

CITY FATHERS MEET.
Interesting and Important Meeting Held Tuesday Night. Which De. veloped Into Meeting of
 Protest.

The city council met Tuesday night in regular sesslon at the city hail, Mayor Scott presiding, Recorder c Brien at the desk and Alderman Fassell, Merritt and Conrad present.
 Hon. Otto B. Rollwage appeared before the council in behalf of Judge \. H. Mann to protest a water bill charged against MT. Mann on the property on the corner of Jackson and RoSser streets, which bill Mir. Mann thought erroneous. On motion the bill was referred to the water and light committee.
 Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.
 Members of the committee who had charge of the rebuilding and re- modelling of the old waterworks plant, reported the work about finished, and that things at that place were in hne condition, and that the city now lad first class headquarters for it's street department.
