Civic Club.
AS the result of the efforts of the
Civic club ladies, Durango presents
much more inviting appearance
than it did three years ago but the
club folk recognize there is much
more work TO be done. There are al
leys and back yards to clean up, old
fences to be torn down, worthless
frame buildings to wreck, much re-
mains to be done with the paint
brush, and probably the biggest prob
lem of all is the cleaning up of va
cant lots. At the meeting held Tues
day afternoon, at which the vice
president, Mrs. Henry Berri, so ably
presided, this and the problem of
how to dispose of the city garbage
were the ones that came up for the
most lengthy considerations.
In some other town vacant lot
lent means of clearing the debris
from vacant properties. Men and boys
of the community have met and con-
centrated their efforts in cleaning all
the vacant lots in given block, when
they had available time. 1t repre-
sented by it small amount of effort
and practically no outlay of money
Such methods might meet with sue
cess here, and also keep people from
using the place for throwing thrash
again.
The city dumping ground southeast
of town is place that is an eyesore
to all who have to pass there. In
stead of using the canon in which to
dump the garbage, the express or
some of them have strewn refuse over
a large area surrounding the place
and made it most unsightly. A few
years ago the city councils attention
was called to the matter and it was
suggested that any expressman found
guilty of the offense should have his
license revoked. Tuesday a commit
tee was appointed by the chair to de-
termine if some step could not be
taken to abate the nuisance, and prob
ably they will ask the city commits
sioners to take such action as recon-
mended on the previous occasion. The
club is willing to have the grounds
policed at its expense in order to To-
cate the guilty parties.
The organization, after accomplish.
ing the things now in hand, have un.
der consideration number of Others
that will be made public later.
