Your Mayor takes this medium to suy that we are pleased to notice the progress many have made in accordance with our order to clean our streets and alleys. However, the time stated having expired, some do not seem to understand just what was expected of them.

As it will probably cost a little more for this work to be done by the city's direction, will give some further explanation so that all who will may save on the cost of this work. It is required to remove all rubbish, from all parts of the city including the Additions and your part of this work is presumed to cover the streets and alleys ad jncent all your property, to the centers of each at least. Will Bay that among other rubbish we expect to be removed is the following: All stable litter, including loose scattered hay, loose stones, large and small, brick bats, bottles, barrel hoops, broken dishes and crockery, tin cans, bones, loose barb wire and woven wire, kindlings and loose boards, ash, plaster and mounds of loose earth, unless intended to be leveled or hauled to improve the condition-of street or alley, also anything of value or use to owner, but which impedes passage needlessly over street, alley or sidewalk. We ask that after this work is accomplished that this clean condition be maintained throughout the year and recommend that all residents procure garbage boxes or barrels and when full see that are removed instead of allowing the trash to become scattered.
