MAYOR SPEAKS
ON "SPoTLESS TOWN.

Mayor George Aiuslie will address
the Allied Building Trades associa-
ton on the subject OF "Spotless
Town" this evening at $50 O'Clock at
the Business Mems club He has
been invited to address the associa-
ton, which has expressed it's desire to
cooperate in the present drive to
keep Richmond's streets clean.
The building trades can aid a
long way in making the streets free
from rubbish and waste, 1t was stated
last night. BY little care and dill
gence waste materials, such as con-
crete bags, broken bricks, sands and
lime, may be kept from scattering
all over the streets.
Mayor Ainslie yesterday pied for
cooperation from every man, woman
and child in Richmond, as follows:
Every man must consider the
matter of clean streets his personal
duty. If every man throws trash
where he pleases and leaves it to the
city to clean up we could not keep
the streets clean with ten times as
many men as few now have. 1t is to
the personal interest OF every mer-
chant every business man, to have
the streets about his place OF bust
ness in good order. We want every
man, woman and child in Richmond
to take such a pride in the city that
they would not think of dirtying it
