It is believed that one clean-un dav

result in keeping back yards in bet

The city and Community club will
consider clean premises worth as much

done and hearty cooperation on the
part of all residents is assured.
The trash wagons will visit the first

from that ward will visit the others in
short order. It is important to have the
