FAIR CITY FOR FAIR
WEEK IS THE SLOGAN

"a Fair City for Fair Week" will
again be the slogan of the boosters
of the board of trade At yesterdays
meeting of the directors, it was de-
cided that a vigorous campaign be
directed at the city commission and
citizens urging them all to cooperate
in cleaning up for gala week.
Paving at Central and Washington
and in several other places is in dis
repair, curbings need fixing, vacant
lots ought to be cleared of trash and
weeds, and in many other ways Phoe-
nix ought to be furnished up before
its bordes of visitors arrive, says the
board of trade.
The city already has in its charge
the task of putting up the street dec
orations, and viii no doubt make the
cleaning up a part of this work.
