The clean up week of May Is
was a very successful one.
There we're approximately 300
wagon loads of dirt and trash
of all description hauled off dur
ing the week. The entire cost
of the work was about $4,000,
which amount was raised by the
subscriptions taken by the ladies
of the Civic League. The League
also aided materially in report
ing specific cases for investiga-

Others that assisted in the
work are, the city officials who
furnished one team and driver
for the entire time, the Platten-

team and driver for three days.
Besides these a team and driver

CAGES it was necessary to use
the city marshal to enforce such
a movement. That such enforce
ment was necessary is evidenced
by the fact that in one of these
places more than a wagon load Of
filth was found.
There still exist some unavoid-
able conditions due to lack of
funds to make them sanitary.
Near the depot there is no sewer
connection and natural drainage
has to be depended upon. 1t is
to be hoped that this and other
localities will be improved as
soon as a sanitary method for
drainage shall be arranged.
On the whole the city should
be much encouraged by the gen.
eral willingness for a clean ur
and should endeavor to make
such a movement a continue.
