Street Commissioner Salisbury is
rather discouraged. Ho is very anxious
to have tho streets and alleys kept
clean and sightly and devotes his ener
gy in that direction, but unfortunately
no la not aided and abetted by the cit
izens; in fact the reverse Is true of the
average householder. Though he has
published notices, made personal
pleadings and In some instan
ces used cuss words, yot people will
insist on dumning ashes in tho street
and Hlloys, which is contrary to ordi
nance. Soma day a number of prom
inent citizens will be arraigned in tho
police court for fracturing this city or
