"Post No Bills, Please

Most of the poles Of the Central
Maine Power Co. bear Post NO Bllls,
notices. Unfortunately this prohib1-
ton Is not always complied with, and
the telegraph, trolley and telephone
wire supports have, from time imme-
mortal, been freely used for posting
hand bills and placards The OBJ
iections to this custom far out weigh
its advantages. 1t should be dis
continued. During the past week our
Municipal officers have caused the
poles of all description, within the
village limits, to be cleared OF their
accumulation of weather worn cards
and paper. All are urged to refrain
hereafter from posting advertising
matter on the poles or other supports
standing In the village streets.
In this connection 1t might be said
that notices in the show windows of
any establishment, after the expira-
ton or taking place of the event for
which they are issued, call in ques-
ton to some extent the enterprise
and alertness Of the proprietor. Our
business streets would be more up to
date II notices of fraternal suppers,
baseball games, ETC., were removed
promptly after the date of their oc-
currence. This is one of the little
things we can all take hand in
which will help to keep our Munich
pal face and hands more presentable
