about Chester these days there is hard :
ly home to be seen .HorH' the entire
round that is without f1owers-beau-
tiful flowers that set off the premises
and give the passer-by pleasure
which, we feel, is due very largely to
the spirited campaign made by the
Civic League in the. early spring. In
this connection VIC want to say that
we see no good reason why Chester
should not have an annual flower show
in the fall as was held here for long
time until few years ago and proved
to be such an interesting and plcaSur-
able cvent.Thc city council at Il
meeting Friday. evening, decided to
purchase a street flusher, and the
Studebaker, which has been highly
recommended, will be purchased, at q
cost of s2,45O. This is very hand
some and serviccable machine, and, it
is believed will give fine results. It
was also voted to tighten up the dog
law during the summer months, tho
maddog scare of last Thursday morn
ing and the recent sad occurrence IN
Columbia having shown this to be adj
visable. Upon motion council voted to
amend the law, and in case: OF dog
found running at large upon the stree
without muzzlc or not in leash the po-
lice will notify the owner before killing
the animal as the ORDINANCE formerly
required. The health officer, DR.. +. NJ
Boldridge, was authorized to appoint
an assistant for three months, and has
employed Mr. ID. NJ. Nixon.
