Monday, April 3, is hereby desig'

fail to make preparation for it. The
city provides the teams, as usual, at
the city's expense. They will call for
your garbage some time during that
day. Have it ready. Burn every
thing you can, then put the remainder
of garbage in boxes, bags or barrels
and have them located where they
can be easily reached ( in the alley,
or in the street if there is no alley,
and by all means have it ready for
delivery early.
OF all years we should make this
one of special effort, along this line
as well as other lines. The eyes of
all visitors-and there will probably
be many of them-will view our sur
roundings and properties critically
this year. We should make every
thing look the best possible-besides
It gives us sanitary conditions, re-
