order l)y raking up the leaves, mowing the grass and 
spreading fertilizer on the lawns. Later, the posts 
at the gateways and corners were filled with plants. 
The regular work was started on June 9th, and from 
that time on the principal street was cleaned weekly, 
and other streets gone over from once to three times 
during the season. One of the men employed has 
gone over the “Shore path" every morning, begin- 
ning early in July, and picked loose paper and other 
rubbish. Another path leading to the shore was also 
cleaned daily. A horse and cart was steadily em- 
ployed last season for the first time to haul awav dirt 
and rubbish collected from the streets, and has gone 
over the entire village early every morning to gather 
up loose papers. "This arrangement proved a per- 
fectly successful solution of the paper nuisance prob- 
lem." ( Improvement workers, please make a note of 
that. ) The grass was cut regularly around the High 
School building ; seats were placed in Glen INfary 
park : the park kept cleared of loose paper and other 
trash throughout the season, and the graveyard kept 
in order, the grass mowed and watered. L"p to Sep- 
tember 9th, 213 days’ work had been paid for and 76 
days’ work for a one-horse team. The work as out- 
lined was done at an expense of $685.79.
