MYSTERY NAN LEAVES
MARK" on SIDEWALK

A lone man, carrying a pail of
black paint and brush. hating at
various street corners last week.
and after a solemn survey OF the
surrounding territory, was seen to
paint a large 'V'' on the sidewalk,
and travel on.
Interest in this strange character
and his peculiar mission became
strong after he had invaded the up
town district with his artistic abil-
ity. and an audience Of small boys
and loiterers soon followed him.
However. his work seemed ended,
as he disappeared completely. the
only sign left being his signature
on street corners.
Speculations were rife until Carl
J. Castleman, street commissioner,
let il be known that ne was having
the vents to the sewers marked with
'V" so they could be easily found
during the winter months when the
streets were filed with slush and
snow.
