We are informed that our town has
a special street committee that is
liable to come around and ask you
to quit cluttering up the alleys with
old cans to fill with water to breed
fever germs, also derelict
buggies, horse collars, ETC., which
set up molely decay detrimental
SO noticed that our streets are mar
red by old cement molds or boxes,
which, with large bales of fencing
wire left in the street, prove a ter
ror to some horses and liable to
cause a runaway. 1t is the little
things here and there that make
clean model town. So when on the
street let us not promiscuously
throw papers and other trash down,
but put it in a nearby waste basket
or carry it home and burn.
