Acting City Marshal Jay Cole was
circulating a petition last week in
regard to sprinkling the streets the
balance of this month. Though the
petition was very liberally signed lie
could not get enough money pledged
to pay him for doing the work and
the dust will continue to blow. Next
year street sprinkling will probably
be made a municipal affair, and be
under the supervision of the city
council. A small tax levy would be
sufficient to pay the costs of sprink
ling the streets during the summer
months. It is to be hoped that the
city council will take this matter in
hand next spring. We do not believe t
that the citizens of this city enjoy
eating dirt, and a few dollars spent
for sprinkling the streets will make
life much more pleasant during the
long summer months.
