New Cement Street
Comes Through Winter
BRIGHT and New

Main street has been bathed and
scrubbed once more and the last
yestige of snow, ice and debris re-
moved. Now the street cleaner Is
again on duty and he really Is a sure
sign of spring. Another useful addl-
ton to the street force Is a man
who keeps q careful eye out Tor
waste paper that blows along the
cement surface. and yesterday he
was out with gunny sack doing MS
share to clean the street.
A year ago at this time the COD
BILE stones were covered with thick
layer of ice and snow and no one
was particularly anxious for the re-
movaI of the winter coating as the
CITY then had decidedly rough
street, Streets throughout the city
are beginning to dry rapidly and
the sidewalks are clear of snow. The
frost is practically out Of the ground
and a few are beginning to take on
the double windows.
So far this month the weather has
been almost remarkable with the
succession of beautiful mild days.
Storms have been reported but they
did not come.
Autoists who exceed the State
speed limits along the streets and
at the street functions should recall
first the casualties that occurred not
year ago among the children of
the city and then they should re-
member that the municipal court is
only a very short distance from Main
street for the law violator. Those
who find the street side hydrant
a good smooth parking place should
remember first that the lives of peo-
pie may depend on the firemen get
ting at that hydrant in quick time
and then they should remember that
there are laws made to punish such
an offender.

pie.
During the administration Of ex-
