RippZing :.
of the Rivers

Several. errors in house num-
berS in the city were detected
by the city clerk and public
utilities clerks who checked adj
dresses at the city hall recent
ly for the purpose of mailing
monthly statements.
The city clerk stated that if
citizens house numbers do not
correspond with addresses
which will be on the water,
gas and light bills during the
coming month, such residents
are urged to call at the city
hall and correct the error.
We think it may be a little
confusing to some since the 10
cal post office secured city adj
dresses from individuals where
house numbers were installed.
The city clerk says a number
of those addresses are incor-
rect due to the fact that some
houses have installed incorrect
numbers.
Numbers can be checked for
accuracy at the city hall.
Most anything is likely to
get into this column!
Many complaints have been
heard concerning the debris
which collects in the business
section of Hardin whenever a
little breeze Stirs.
City officials say, and we
think they are right, that much
of this paper and other debris
is due to lack of insufficient
garbage cans in the alleys of
the business district.
The chief of police and street
commissioner are serving no
tice that a sufficient number
of garbage cans-with lids
must be installed and that all
garbage, including papers, must
be kept in closed garbage cans.
They also state that the rule
will be enforced.
Cooperation on the part of
those concerned should help
to improve the looks of the
city.

Harold Edwin Ream, AZ, was

an unconscious condition about 200
feet from the scene of the wreck about
6 O'Clock this morning by John Kitz-
