SPRING STREET
 CLEANING ALMOST
 DONE, SAYS IODINE

'Hrhe work of cleaning up the streets of the city is now three quarters fin ished," said Albert J. Bodine, super intendent of streets, today. "I have two big gangs of men at work In the southwest or Pine street section of the city today" he continued, 'tand they are rapidly cleaning up the streets in that section. The streets in that sec ton and in the Pembroke and EaIett streets section in the East G0nd are in the worst condition, the population in these sections" being more dense than in other parts of Bridgeport.
 'tOn the whoIe,'' he said, "the streets were found to be not nearly so dirty this year as we had anticipated find ing them. The open winter gave the street cleaners an opportunity to keep the gutters fairly clean, so that taken all in all the streets this year, in spite of opinions to the contrary, are in better condition than they have been in. years past.
 By the first of May we expect to have every. street in the city cleaned up and it will then be simply a case of keeping them clean throughout the summer. We have "a lot of extra men at work on the streets at the present time, and as a result fine progress is being made
 ''If every resident of the city would only help to keep the streets clean af- ter they have once been cleaned up, and. would refrain from throwing dirt and refuse into the gutters, the city as a whole would benefit much thereby. As the situation stands at present, it's like washing dishes-t1Ie process of cleaning up has to be repeated time part in cooperating with the street cleaning department and the streets will be kept up in much better shape and at a saving to all concerned"

The fifth annual minstrel show of Ol1enuck Tribe of Red Men was given in Red Mems hall, last evening, and as predicted, was a fine success. The show compares favorably with any show ever given by the tribe in past years and 1t has to be a pretty good show to be able to say that about it.
 There was 8 fine attendance at the show and everyone present appeared to be well satisfied with the produc- ton. Superintendent of Schools Will liam B. Kelsey was musical director of the show and he was largely re- sponsible for the smooth way in which everything was carried out. HI B. Barnum was stage manager, E. L. Beardsley was stage carpenter. and F. w. Pulling was scenic artist They also deserve credit for the success of the show.
 The cast of the show was as fol- lows: Interlocutor, George A. Fair child end men, Robert Syrett, John Graham, Charles Silltn1an, George w. SpaII; eolofsts, Joseph C1abby, George Rajotte, T. M Adams, sidney Colburn, John Graham, Charles SiIliman, Rob- ert syrett, Harry Saunders, George w spall.
