"Clean-Up" campaigns are a very
good way to make a city look cleaner
and better, and every one knows III
had rather live in a nice, clean city
than in a dirty mussy city. The
above spoken of campaign would de
no good unless gone into by thc
city as a whole and jointly as wei
as by every one Individually.
AS we all know, the streets of this
city are not oiled sufficiently to keer
down the dust everywhere but every
one should pay the needed money
to have his street oiled to give a
more attractive look to his own as
well as others property. The money
paid out for this purpose would soon
be saved by paint saving as the
dust will make frequent painting
necessary.
A city that an outsider will com.
ment on always makes the home
folks think it is more beautiful, but
no outsider can see the beautiful
parts of this city when the streets
ire so very rough as they are at the
present time.
A few of the streets need making
wider very badly. Take for in
stance Dunlap" This street is
naturally going to get much heavier
traffic from the highway coming in
on it; therefore boulevard made
out of it by. widening it would be a
nice thing to meet the highway.
One reason why this street cannot
be kept up is because it is too
narrow.
The alleys and by-roads, of course,
are not expected to be like public
streets but should at least be made
INTO respectable places and not be
muddy and sloppy, and have tin
cans and papers in them.
A, little individual work by every
one on their drives and lawns would
surely make a great deal of differ
ence. All unoccupied lots could be
made pretty by planting flowers on
them.
A white way would be a fine
thing for Paris to have, as it would
give it more business like and up
to-date look.
All dead trees and bushes should
be cut and taken off of the streets
because they naturally look bad.
The cutters by which the city is
drained should be good concrete
cutters up against the side walks
instead of merely bitches along the
DAD, If a space be left between
the side walks and the cutters, it
would be better to plant this in
flowers than to let it grow up in
weeds and grass.
Every one should be forced to put
down a side walk whether he has
a building on the lot, which he
places the side walk in front Of
or not
A concrete walk or place to park
cars should be made around the
court house to do away with the
lush that is there at present.
The places where the refuse and
garbage of the city is dumped
should be so dfsinfected that no OBJ
iectionable doors or germs will arise
rom them.
The streets of the city should not
be used for coal houses by putting
coal on the streets, nor for junk
oiles by putting machinery and UNI
used vehicles on them. All this
should be kept off of the streets.
Every ones cleaning up yards,
planting beautiful flowers, painting
up all buildings and out buildings,
Every ones separate place and the
Whole town look better to our own
yes as well as to visitors.
All manufacturing concerns should

concerns.
