The trucks should be covered, and they should not be overloaded to the point where their contents pour off into the streets. Trucks carrying debris from cBnstrue- tion jobs have been guilty of the same of- fense by permitting timbers and nail- pierced blocks to drop to the highway, |, where they might easily cause an accident. As far as the flies are concerned, citi- | | zens of Key West can go a long way toward | eliminating the nuisance by demanding that the trucks have covers—and by covering up | | their own garbage collections before they | are put in the trucks. t ADVERTISING RATES Made Known on application, SPECIAL NOTICE Al} reading notices, cards of thanks, resolutions of Tespect, obituary Ration, ete, Will be charged for at the rath of 10 cents a line, pl a for entertainment by churches from which e0no is to be.derived are & cents a line. © Citizen isan oper ‘forum and invites discus- tun of pultic-issues and subjects of local or general ee its sccnsgeltaacomar: (ara communi- | { as. t | se wats} ort WILD always seek the truth and print it without fear and without favor; never be ~-adraid to attack wrong or to applaud right; always fight for progress; never be the or- gan or-the mouthpiece of any person, clique, faction or class; always do its utmost for the public welfare; never tolerate corruption or injustice; denounee viee and praise virtue, commend good done by individual or organ- ization; tolerant of others’ rights, views and opinions; print only news that will, elevate and not contaminate the reader; never com- promise with principle. fe THE “IRON MAN” OF TENNIS i} It’s about time that we give a hand to | William Tilden, 48-year-old veteran of the tennis courts, who is setting some kind of a | record as the “Iron Man” of tennis.
