ASK CITY TO SPRINKLE

And .Gather Up Garbage, While Hiring Coal Hauled. /At the meeting of the citydads next Monday night a petition will be presented by the business men asking that the city purchase the sprinkling wagon of True Woodworth’s and the city use the city team and driver to sprinkle the streets and gather up the garbage, the object principally being to have the city" team up town all the time to be in readiness to answer fire calls. If this is done the business men will pay into the city the amount they now pay for sprinkling tmd the latter will, hire its coal hauled as formerly. It is thought this amount will pay the entire expense of the team and man and leave a small surplus to apply on the coal hauling.
