CLEAN UP TIME IS NEAR
With the good weather coming on,
and the present good weather condi
tions, the mind ot' the resident turns
to summertime conditions—gardening,
etc. Already it is noted that a num
ber of home garden plots are being
- cleared of last year’s debris and prep
arations made for planting seed.
Those actions lead one io think of
the condition of the city as shown by
the large number of heaps of last win
ter’s accumulation of ashes, rubbish
and other refuse that has been scat
tered indiscriminately in the allies
and other out of the way places. In
many sections the byways oi the town
is literally strewn with rubbish,
which with the melting snow, has be
come an eyesore.
Soon the north will be invaaeu
the tourist class and of the visita-J
Cons Seward will receive its ample!
share. A city beautiful is a city well
advertised. Upon the advertising that
'Seward will receive from the tourist i
class will depend much of the future
travel to this section.
S. M. Graff, former mayor of Sew
ard, in his valedictory address, laid
especial emphasis upon conditions
prevailing along the wateriront, which
tie emphasized as being an eyesore.
This matter will soon be rectified by
the present council, aided by the local
chamber of commerce, and when that
movement takes place would it not be
good time for others—the whole
community in fact—to inaugurate a
general clean-up campaign, all bend
ing their efforts toward making the
town presentable to our visitors?
Think it over and let us commence
removing all debris before the weather
gets too warm and announces its
presence by pronounced Q(]or and
leads to conditions which breed dis
ease.
Chester Wilkins left this morning
for Mile 82, where he will accept a
position with the section gang at that
