OLSON The annual clean-u- p campaign which has been carried on for years, has resulted in much good and benefit to the health and general welfare of the people. There should exist in every wide awake city a spirit of civic pride, and as usual we hope to have the if all organizations, religious and otherwise in this work. Teachers associations, welfare organizations, womens clubs, boy scouts, girl scouts, civic clubs and the chamber of commerce are hereby requested to give this important matter attention. On April 10th, we have the band contest here, when the largest number of outside people will be in our city since its existence. Therefore, we stress the importance of a general clean-u- p which should include yards, vacant lots, corrals, alleys and streets. It is hoped that people will take pride in fixing up their home by painting fences, houses and removing unsightly buildings, trees and fences, all of which will add to the comfort and attraction of our city. Therefore, I, W. F. Olson, mayor of Price, do hereby declare as general cleanup days, in preparing for our visitors, Monday and Tuesday, March 30 and 31. If the people will pile their trash and rubbish out to the curb or sidewalks, the city will remove the same on these dates. I hereby designate from April 14 to April 25 as the regular improvement period for final clean-uand beaupaint-u- p tifying premises throughout the city, and do hereby request the chamber of commerce to call together the citizens in accomplishing this work. In conducting this work, the city willsB with the citizens, furnishing labor and trucks.

INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER At Arthur N. Smith, district representative of the Utah Rock Asphxjt company, announces that operations at the quarries and mill will commence about the middle of April. Operation of the plant will no doubt be a big economic benefit to the county. In 1030, an average of 70 men were employed during the working months, and the payroll was $65,000. It is expected that the market for the Carbon product will increase greatly this year, as it bus been found to be superior to any other asphalt produced in the United States.
