the town.
Quietly and rapidly the new re

The city got real garbage coIlec

sales of soap grease
The tax rate came down despite
The fact that the municipality did 40

The deficit of $125,000 was cut td
$4,000 the first year.
Water supply and lands were pur.
chased fro $1,000 as compared with
an earlier bid four times as high and
for the first time in years Dayton
got abundant water in summer.
A new spirit in the city hall was
reflected in the new things that the
municipality soon began doing for
it's citizens. Private and public dis
trict nursing was co-ordinated, elm
les were opened, milk was supervis
cd, food was inspected, 1000 dis
breeding dry vaults were elimi,

vacant lots tremendously expanded
and down came the general death
rate and the infant death rate BY
radical jumps!
A free legal aid bureau helped .
thousand poor people a year. Grand
opera singers sang at very cheap
popular concerts.
Natural gas at 81 cents replaced
artificial gas at IS cents. Dayton is
buying better street lighting today
than the old regime did and at lower
costs despite the rise in prices Elev-
en- loan shark companies were driven
out Of town.
There is municipal country club
outside the city, beautiful big play
ground with golf links, tennis, camps

great Improvement was shown.
There was a fisticuff between two
prominent young men yesterday.
Neither was hurt much and the
trouble has been smoothed over.
Names are withheld by request.
The concert last night was one OF,
if not the greatest musical treats
Americas ever enjoyed Every fea-
ture was pronounced a success, and
received the most flattering ap-
plause. The opera house was crowd
ed, and a more elegant audience
'are!S graees a public occasion. The
recitation by Miss Rosalind Royal
was most artistically rendered, and
evineed talents of a superior order.
The little dark-eyed beauty won
many friends The declaration BY

City Hall Square
to Bear Name of
World War Veteran

City Hall square will after this be
known as Castonguay square in hon
or of Sergt. Arthur CastOnguay, who
lost his life on the battlefields of
France. This action was taken at the
meeting Of the City government
Tuesday evening following the re-
port of the committee on new streets
of ought not to pass" on the petit
ton of the American Legion that the
name OF Water street be changed to
Castonguay street. Alderman Binette
who is on the committee that report
ed unfavorably explained the situa-
ton in detail. He said that the un-
favorable report was made because
Of the expense involved. A change in
the name of the street would mean
change in all the insurance polio
les, all letterheads of the business
houses would have to be changed and
the lettering on the grocery teams.
He explained the matter to com
mittee from the Legion last Sunday
and they readily agreed that it would
be impractical and withdrew their
petition. The petition for remaining
the square was presented in place Of
the other and was readily acceded to
by the city fathers.

today were those who had il left over
