Prof. Emil Hansen, head of the Held work in this department of the college, will be in Price in the near future to assist us in carrying out these plans. One of the first steps in making our city a place of beautiful homes and surroundings is to give our streets, our yards and our homes a thorough cleaning. Now, therefore, I hereby designate the week beginning April 11th and ending April 16th as Cleanup Week and call upon all citizens to cleanup, paintup and fixup" to the best of their means and ability the property under their control. During this week the entire apparatus and personnel of the street department will be at the disposal of property owners and other residents to the extent that all trash placed in containers at the curb will be removed at the expense of the city. The Junior Citizens league of the Harding school will urge all citizens to do their part in the cleanup and will otherwise assist the city in making the week a successful of all other one.
