H>20 W ell Earned Promotion DUMP SCORED RY BIDLDGY CLASS North of the City Hall there is a spot very pleasing to look upon, that is if there is no inclination to be at all particular about one’s surroundings. South of the Citv Hall this place is hidden from view, but from either incline,, this inspiring bit of scenery is far from inconspicuous. In fact it is quite impossible to overlook it. It is to be hoped that stran gers intending to settle here will have a temporary attack of some eye disease, while journeying up the incline. The spot in quest ?on is simply a pile of refuse, which should have been cared for in some other manner. It consists of cans, old boxes most of which contain more or less material that serves as a favorable breeding home for different types of bac teria to the detriment of the san itary condition of the town. Any articles no longer of use can with little effort be taken back of the C ty Hall, where they may begin a new career, but of harmiill ness instead of usefulness. This place certainly is no improve ment to the town, and repulsive to people who are particular about where they live. This pile of filth has been there for three years or more. Much of it could easily be burned and the rest hauled away. The City council or the mayor should take action In regard to the removal of this trash. The members of the biology class took some of the trash* and dirt up to the High School for ex amination under the high power microscope. In it were found bacteria of many kinds. - The class believes it would im prove the looks and also add to the cleanliness of the town, if this garbage were removed. Lyla McKenny, Anita Kopp. The legislature will adjourn Saturday noon. W. W. Dillon has been chosen by the Interstate committee of the Y. M. C. A., of which W. J.
