ENLISTING CITIZENS IN
 CLEANUP CAMPAIGN
PROPERTY OWNERS COOPER ATE WITH CLUB TO IMPROVE
 STREETS AND PREMISES.
From Thursday'a Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
 The Conway School and Civic Club is not only planning to raise sufficient funds to cut the weeds from the sides of streets throughout the city-a duty which members of the club declare the city council has failed to perform but are endeavoring to enlist proper ty-owners in the work and at the same time make general cleanup of sidewalks and premises, before the opening of the colleges next month. Under the city ordinances it is the duty of the property-owners to cut the weeds along the sidewalks in front of their property, and the city has usually had them cut on the streets. The club will give benefit at the Grand theater tonight to raise funds for the latter purpose.
 The club has appointed chairman for each of the principal residence streets in the city, and these chair men will canvass the residences and endeavor to secure agreements to pay the actual cost of cleaning up side walks and premises. Mrs. Fife Lin : coin, chairman for Robinson avenue, said today that she had made can vass of that street and every owner had agreed to have the work done. Other streets will be canvassed, and it is hoped to have the entire work completed next week.
