Urged by Committee
At its last regular meeting on
November 4th , the city council pass­
ed an ordinance. This ordinance II
enforced and observed by our citi­
zens, will go a long way toward
making our city more clean, hygen-
Ic. and attractive to any visitor who
contemplates making hi* home In
our midst.
Consequently, the hearty co-oper­
ation of every public spirited citizen
of this city Is most respectfully ask­
ed, as It will greatly facilitate the
work of the police officer, upon
whom falls the duly of enforcing the
ordinance. This ordinance or any
such other ordinance, Is well nlgb
valueless, unless all our citizens
make a loyal effort In complying
with Its provisions.
From now on, therefore. It will
be greatly appreciated If our citizens
will kindly refrain from dumping
rubbish of any kind between build­
ings and on vacant lots. This prac­
tice create* a fire-hazard, and be­
side. It make* an unsightly public
nuisance.
ANDRE CHOMEL
Chairman, ordinance committee
I k pointed out, and today, with all
counties fully represented by boards,
it Is far ahead of many other sec­
tion* of the United States. Not only
have citizens gladly volunteered to
serve on the county groups, but

gaged In planning project* that will
eventually prove of great value to
