The Parcel Posts Possible Effect on Cost of Living

Aside from the direct saving in rates. the parcel post

for years obtained the articles of food by

COUNCIL INSISTS
 OH A CLEANER CITY
Petition of Property Owners on Cen tral Avenue Receives Prompt
 Attention

That the city council is going to take all the steps within it's power as the governing body of the city tc make the city of Phoenix a spotless and odorless town was evidenced last night at the discussion that took place when d petition from the prop erty owners along the east side of Center street between Washington and Adams was presented to the council. The petition had particular reference to the condition of the gut ters along that side of the street, and asked that something be done. and that right early, to relieve the condition in the gutter there.
 The petition acted like a bombshel in the camp. Imm mediatcly the mem hcrs of the council were for inform ing the police department that the ordinance of the city recently passed relative to the sweepings from the sidewalk and the stores being thrown in the gutter be riGidly enforced. Then Councillor McDermott drew at tention to the condition of the alley way half way up the block and said that sWeepings from the stores thrown into the aIlcyway found it's way by the law of gravity and the pressure of some water into the gut ters of the street, aggravating the condition there to a large extent.
 Engineer Holmquist broke into the discussion with a proposition that the whole city could be made into one improvement district and a storm and outfall sewer constructed by as sessment upon the property owners and he wanted the power to go ahead and do that sort of thing. However, this idea did not meet with the ready appreciation of the council at all, al- though the final action of the body Tn connection with this petition was to instruct the city engineer to pre- pare plans for q storm sewer for the city, but not to allow this to inter fere or delay the present improve ments under course of construction.
 Councillor Cisney presided over the session of the council in the ab Scnce of Mayor ChristY. Superin tcndcnt of Streets Avery Thompson presented a diagram of the appor- toned cost of the sidewalk improve ment on Roosevelt street as prepared by the city engineer and the mayor and city recorder were instructed to sign the same in behalf of the council
