The three officials will make ap Inspection of the city some time early next week to ascertain whether or not there has been a general re sponse to the edict. There la a city ordinance requiring residents to keep their premises clean and a penalty Is provided In It for failure to fulfil the provisions. If It is necessary to In voke this penalty to accomplish the desired results, Acting Mayor Dyer declares It shall be done. However, he believes there will be the same liberal response this year as In the past. Because of the fact 1 that the Round-up this year Is draw- lng more eastern people than ever be fore, he feels that a special effort should be mode to make the city as attractive as possible.
