Don’t Burn Leaves At Night.

Doctors have complained about the smoke created by the burning of leaves, while others have objected on account of the dense smoke making auto travel on some streets dangerous and there is danger of fires being started because the bonfires are not protected and I have been directed by Mayor Spitler to order that the leaves must not be burned after night. To prevent the things complained of it is necessary that all fires be extinguished by 5 o’clock in the afternoon and none started after that time. J. J. MONTGOMERY, City Fire Warden.
