Mayor T. |. Flittie and the city com
missioners wish to call the attention
of the citizens Of ~Brookings to GER
tain practises which are working to
the detriment of the city, and are
asking the cooperation of the people
in correcting them. First, the matter
of boys and children riding bicycles
on the sidewalk which is a menace to
public safety. 1t is difficult to pro-
secute boys under age, so the parents
are asked to use their authority to
stop the practise especially on streets
where there is much traffic on the
sidewalks. Roller skating and coaster
wagons should come under the same
surveillance. The practise Of citizens
raking grass and leaves from the
b~Oulevards into the streets must be
stopped if Brookings is to maintain
its reputation for pretty streets. There
are many backwards which still have
piles of ashes and other rubbish.
These must be removed.
