Many of the water front property owners have douo beautifully in cleaning up and only a few lots or places now pre sent a bollttered appearance. But the weatherworn hue of the build ings Is still an eyesore and while tho removal of the pieces of old lumber and other debris adds a thousand per cent to tho estimate that new comers form of us at first sight as It eliminates tho shiftless Impression, still tho lack of paint or whitewash gives that ancient descreplt appear ance that wo women loathe!" "And I think any man worth while feels tho same about It," tersely In terjected another woman. But tho plans for removing the debris and rubbish are going ahead flno. At a meeting of tho A. N. W. Club yesterday, the final plans for tho campaign were talked over.
