SIDEWALK BUILDERS " MUST CLEAR DEBRIS City Becomes Meticulous About Appearances of Construction Contractors who are employed by property owners to lay sidewalks and curbs on accepted streets have made a practice of leaving the jobs without first cleaning up and this matter was the subject of consider- Bble discussion by members of the board of public works at their meet- Ing last night. It was voted to refuse to issue permits to contractors who persist in leaving jobs without first clearing away debris. mmissioner H. A. Timbrell gested that the city name its own contractor and Chairman E. N. Humphrey answered by saying that if this course was followed it would be met by the statement that the city had gone into the contracting business in competition with private contractors. Discussing the cost of grading which is being done on Eddy-Glov- er boulevard Chairman Humphrey pointed out that the work was be- ing done to provide employment for unemployed men. All work is be- ing done by hand and costs could be reduced about 50 per cent or bet- ter if steam shovels were used on the job, the chairman said. Commissioner Timbrell stated that the extra cost involved because of the methods used should be noted and emphasis laid on the fact that the work was being done primarily to furnish jobs. The board voted to remove the trees in front of the Landers prop- erty on East Main street, at Sum- mer street. For many years thou- sands of starlings have made their nests in the trees. It was voted to have the work done as soon as pos- sible. The board voted to have the de- partment paymaster interview work- men in the employ of the street and sewer departments concerning the contribution of 2 per cent of their wages during the next three months to a Christmas fund for needy fam- ilies. sug- Flashes of Life ] L By the Associated Prees.

Even the newlywed is being attracted by the unusually low price of pure cane sugar and choice fruit and is pleas- antly surprised at the ease in put- ting up a nice variety of preserves, Jellies and jams. For the woman who takes pride in her menus, there is real satisfac- tion in putting a quivering colorful mold of her own home-made jelly on the table. And if she appre- ciates the value of fruit in the bal- anced diet, she will be happy in the fact that her shelves are well stocked with preserved pears, plums, peaches or other fruits. Sweet pickles and relishes made of cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage or | watermelon rind are also inexpen- sive and easy to preserve.
