Editor TIM Star. Your little edt

eye. Many OF the signs In this city

met a city hight department en-
ploye who was engaged in washing
the street globes and asked him why
he did not at tho same time wash
these sign plates which are on the
Same poles. He brought the subject
to the attention OF his immediate STU
perior. The latter told him that
street signs were under the custody
of another department, and being a
CONSCIENTIOUS employe he then went
to the head OF this other department
and suggested that the two depart
ments cooperate TO keep them clean.
The only satisfaction ne got, 30 my
informant told me, was a suggestion
from the head of this other depart
ment that if the street department
had men available 20 wash street
signs that II had surplus help ON it's
payroll and should reduce expenses
by laying off the extra men
