PROPERTY OWNERS TO RE-
MOVE RUBBISH.

Friday, May 1. is the date set for
the official clean up" day In Ely
This was settled at meeting of the
city council. Monday evening. at
which the Ely Woman's club was
Represented by Mrs. ]. F. Miles and
Miss Emma Graham. The woman's
club was the instigator of the clean
up day idea in Ely. the initial effort
of which was carried to a successful
issue last year. The action of the
council was in cooperation with the
club, to assist in the work of clean
ing up the city. Mrs. Miles present
ed the subject at the council meeting
and at the conclusion of the discus
sion it was agreed by the council 10
furnish teams for the work and the
date was decided upon, as stated. II
is expected that the desired results
will be reached this year in more
systematic manner than last, mas
the city are to be under the personal
supervision of City Marshal Shell
and his assistant, Morris Roberts.
Last year, the city was called upon
to settle sizeable bill for teams en-
ployed for cleaning up purposes, and
a feeling took root that the amount
was considerable in excess of what II
should have been for results accom-
plished AS there is not such an ac-
emulation of litter and refuse tt
clean up this spring. as last, and with
some one in authority to keep tabs
on what the teams are doing 1t Is
believed there will be no cause fol
complaint.
The club this year has extended
the clean up day spirit to East Ely
where Arthur Smith, general man
ager of the Ely Securities company
has offered the use of two teams, pro
vided the club will furnish two mel
to assist. 1t is the intention to have
clean up day in East Ely. on the
same date as in Ely.

numerous as on some other occa-
sions.

miums. The city clerk was instructed
