Civic Improvement-The civic
work still continues, and already
the city shows a decided improve
ment in appearance. Window
boxes are beginning to appear in
the business portion. The inn
provement about the Armory is
very noticeable. A rumor is in cir

made, through other channels. to
take care of the garbage. That
sounds very hopeful to the Civic
Committee. If it can be accom-

as a Getty Beautiful is assured.
