Some people may take offense at this |
phase OF the program but the board |
does not mean to he impertinent inl

up measures but they merely make |
suggestions as to what looks bad from |
the casual observers point OF view
This Is. however. the preliminary in
spection. Monday and Tuesday after

ng attention will be referred to the
proper city department for action re-
Iuired in the case.
Arrangements have been made with

ore the day set for collection and all II
uch rubbish should be put in suitable |
the total weight not to l.
