Co., Operation of Residents Asked in Enforcement of Sanitary
 Ordinance.

In this issue will be found the full text of the sanitary ordinance passed Monday night by the Pu- laski Heights city council. It should be read by every resident who has not sewer connections in his home, as 1t is intended, without working any hardship upon the property owner, to cure the evils resulting from outdoor or dry closets. 1t will be no trou- ble and little expense to con- form to these regulations. There must be water-tight receptacle, set off the ground and the closets must be screened and lime ire quently used. This done by the home-owners, the city promises to systematically collect the sew age and thereby nuisance will be avoided. The hottest part of summer IS here-the time when fatal diseases are most apt to get foothold-and as this is the best the city can afford, everybody is urged to help in the enforcement of the new sanitary ordinance. If each resident will do his part there will be a big improvement over the old system.

Eighty per cent of all fires can be stopped with chemical engines, 1t was stated by Alderman w. H. Keeton at the meeting of the Pu laski Heights city council Mon day night, and because of this fact he thought that the city should purchase a chemical outfit and automobile to carry same and place it in the new Smith build ing to be erected at Beech street and Prospect avenue, where 1t is proposed to establish city hall.
 It was suggested that a volun- teer crew could be organized among the citizens residing close by, and with telephone connec- tions in every part of the city, quick response could be made to any alarm. In most cases the fires could be extinguished in this way, but where they were more serious valuable aid could be given pending the arrival of the Little Rock hremen, who come to the Heights when called.
 This suggestion met with hearty approval and was dis icussed enthusiastically both in the council and after the meeting ad- journed. If it meets with the favor of citizens generally 1t IS probable that 1t will be taken up at the next session of the council.
 It is not proposed that the city shall go to any expense further than to provide the chemical auto and place to house it. At pres ent the city is without fire pro- tection except for the protection 1t borrows from Little Rock. The location of a chemical apparatus would be the nucleus of a per manent fire department such as the city will have to have when 1t becomes larger. Such a safe guard, it Is said, would tend to lower the insurance rate in the Heights as well as afford protec- tion to the lives of citizens.

Woodlawn Telephone Exchange
 in Operation July 31.

The new Woodlawn exchange, serving subscribers in the Pulaski Heights district, will be put into operation on July 31. The estab- lish1nent of this new exchange will make 1t necessary for sub scribers in Little Rock, when making a telephone call, to give the operator the exchange as well as the number. In other words, when making a telephone call, he will lift the receiver from the hook and say Main 1-2-3" or "Woodlawn 1-2-3." Each ex- change will have it's own numbers and unless the name of the ex- change IS given at the time the call is made, the operator will be unable to make the connection.
 The building is located on Woodlawn avenue between Cedar and Elm streets on a lot afford ing ample room for future ex-' tension, and IS a one-story struc- ture of the residence type. The rooms are airy and well lighted, and the operators will be nicely housed here. The beautiful lawn and a pleasant front porch will be delight to the operators.
 A new No. 10-X Western Flee tric switchboard has been in- stalled and will be able to accom- modate about 1000 subscribers Twelve operators can serve at the board at one time.
 In the new exchange will be located the operating room, the terminal room and the operators rest room, where easy chairs, reading table, couch, magazines, etc, are provided for the use of operators off duty.
 The new Woodlawn exchange brings to Pulaski Heights ample telephone facilities, the lack of which i'll recent months has made 1t impossible for some of the resi- dents to obtain telephone service. With the opening of the new ex- change it will be possible to sup ply all of those who desire tele- phone service.
 District Manager Stout states that he already has received many new applications for telephones in this district and expects that 100 new subscribers will be added by the time the new Woodlawn ex- change IS opened.

Mayor Bradley reports that many complaints are being re- ceived about chickens running at large on the Heights, especially in the Hillcrest district. The matter was mentioned to the members of the city council Mon- day night and the amendment of. the stock law to include chickens was discussed. 1t was stated that there were two factions-the peo-| pie who had gardens and didn't want the chickens to run out, and the people who had chickens, for which they wanted free range. The members of the council were divided on the question. Mayor Bradley said if any considerable number of people were in favor of keeping up the chickens the council would on their petition consider the passage of an ordi- nance so amending the stock law.

Vice President Marshall Visits
 Pulaski Heights.

Mayor and Mrs. L. H. Bradley assisted prominently in the all- day reception Friday to Vice President and Mrs. Thomas K. Marshall, who were the honored guests jointly of Little Rock, Ar genta and Pulaski Heights. In the afternoon Mayor Bradley en- ticed the vice-president away from the crowd and took him for an automobile ride through the heights. It was trip that the distinguished visitor enjoyed with the relish of a school boy. He marveled at the beautiful hills and the many attractive homes. Didn't know that there was any thing like 1t around Little Rock. It was something that he would appreciate if they had 1t up in Indiana. The drive was out Pros pect avenue to the Country Club and back to the city over Lincoln avenue. Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. Hays, wife of the governor; Mrs. Tay- Tor, wife of Little Rocks mayor, and Mrs. Faucette, wife of the mayor of Argenta, the first ladies of Arkansas, entertained Mrs. Marshall during her stay and with their hospitality made their graci- ous guest feel that she was as welcome as her famous husband. While here Mrs. Marshall met many ladies of the three cities.
