CITY DADS DO BUSINESS

The city council passed the
Community Welfare ordinance
at its last meeting and the same
will be published this week.
This we believe is a good move
on the part of the city and we
believe it will help to better city
government, better entertain
ments and will be for the gem
eral good.
A parking ordinance will
soon be published relative to
autos which will be ordered to
lpark in the center of the streets
instead of along the curb.
Markers will also be erected
at the principal crossings, or
dering you to the right with
your car, and no more short
turns will be allowed. This is
a move in the right direction.
II was also decided that the
old rickety awnings on the
north side be. ordered taken
down. There is ample shade
along the street and there is no
further need of a Missouri or
Arkansas appearance along
that thorofarc. The News is a
firm believer in civic improve
ment.
