Citizens Urged To
Keep Streets Clean
Many Put Rubbish out On
SideaoaIk Before Regular
Time For Collecting

Mayor Edward c. Evans and City
Manager Charles e. Banning have
this week made an appeal to tine
citizens of Milford to cooperate in
keeping the streets and sidewalks
of the city clean. According to
City Manager Banning, several
years ago City Council passed an
ordinance approving the weekly
collection of trash, ashes, ETC., and
Friday of each week was set as
the collection day. However, some
of the residents of the city not
realizing that they are violating a
city ordinance persist in placing
their trash out whenever they feel
like it, with the result being litter
ed sidewalks and streets.
During the past week a white
wing" has been employed by the
city, but he can not keep the
streets clean, If the people in the
city do not cooperate. Remember,
Friday is collection day, and rub
bish should not be placed out in
the open for collection earlier than
afternoon or evening.

such details as the exact length of
watch, the number on each watch,
he number of watches and the
