City Takes On Pretty Appearance With Coming of Spring.

As is the usual custom with our citizens, the coming of spring sees everyone doing his part in helping to make our city clean and healthful. The spring drive is on and Rensselaer will soon be as clean and tidy a little city as one can find anywhere. The yards are being cleaned up and all unsightly places are disappearing. Owing to the cold weather the plants and flowers and grass have not made much headway as yet, but a few warm rains will find all vegetation coming through in good shape.
