Tbe council have secured the services of Zilch Bros., trucking company
to carry the rubbish to the dump.
Residents are requested to bave all
rubbish In good substantial barrels or
boxes at the curb by Tuesday morning
in order that the town can be covered during the week. Special stress
is laid on tbe fsct that the material

ceptaclea| in view ot the fact that
that the rubbish is to dumped into

cause of tbe codltion the material was

TOO  MANY CHICKENS  FEASTING  IN  NEIGHBOR8 GARDEN8
Muyor J. J. Smythe reported
this morning that a great many
complaints had been phoned to
him thlB week, concerning Americas greatest fowl, the chicken
The chicken has afforded many
palatable dinners, which everyone seems to be grateful for, but
when they feast on the newly
planted seeds in your neighbors
garden, his one great pride, it
becomes  a  different  story.
The number of calls have been
almost too great to calculate the
number and for this reason, It
is evident that tbe subject Is
very popular throughout the
town   /
Tbe only solution to the problem, the Mayor states, Is to ask
those who have chickens to keep
them shut up and he believes
that no further arguments or
ed to In the right manner and
that further arguments or corn-
complaints   will   arise
Tbe County commissioners at Elyrla
opened bids for the repairing ot the
Milan avenue bridge Tuesday afternoon. The contract was awarded to
J. A. Smith, of Vermilion for the
sum of $3,759.60, which figure was
*; slightly  below  the estimate.
The commissioners asked for bids
last spring tor the job but none were
received which has delayed the repairs.
Large crevices in several of the
arch stones have been noticable for
some time and sverral local people
have been led to believe tbe bridge
to be unsafe.
Work will atart at once.
