BEAR CREEK NEEDS GLEAN OUT DEBRIS ' r kv The report Unit the oitv will this winter undertake the tusk of elenninp up the clmnucl nml banks o Uear crock within tho city limits is prob nfoly not wholly true, but it w n. pos sibility thnt the city would co-operate with projMjrty owners whose lots reach the creek banks in the matter of clearing away the debris when a freshet conici to niit In the work. The collected Imwli and weeds and other rubbish could be pitched into the. stream when tho water is hijh cuoii:h to carry it away and thus disponed of. There has been no freshet for threo years of sufficient volume to 'carry away the collection of rotting weeds and other refuse, on the banks. The lesult is that much has collected there to n cotibiderable depth. Its decomposition is hastened by the rain and its bulk, until filthy odors em anate from many such piles of bluff uleiu: the banks in the citv limits. It lccpiires no extraordinary sense of discernment to roalizo that it) the summer time this condition will seri ously menace the health of the city pnrticuhujy thnt portion of it that rcides near tho creek. During the time of the first freshet, should wo be favored with one this winter, properly owners and the city should co-operate in tho matter of cleaning nway these piles of unsight ly and unwhole.xome debris. It would greatly improve the appearance of tho stream within tho city, on the banks of which, in several places, shady nooks and crannies could he made very attractive for luncheon and pic nic parties, intcud of catch-nils for dirt and filth in many repulsive forms.
