Becinninq to Breathe

The dust which of late has been stifling all over the residence portion of Mesa is beginning 70 succumb to q double shift of the sprinkling wagon. This is kept running now about eight cen hours day, ana tne suffering public is beginning to clear out its lungs. There are those who believe the action of the city council in ad- ding this extra time to the running of the one wagon Is the wisest move of the year and that a straining of the city purse to the extent of another wagon would be but justice to those residents who pay for sprinkling the streets but never get any of it near their homes.
 Another step which IT adding mate rially to the looks of the town is the large force of men now employed in ridding the streets of struggling weed growth.
