The fire deparfment under direction of Chief Etter completed the flushing of Twenty-fourth street, from J to N streets, yesterday afternoon, and for an hour or so the two lines of hose employed were turned west on N street. The result was that the pavement once more became apparent and quantities of mud went into the sewers. While the washing of the streets costs lit- tle, it greatly improves the appearance of the paved streets, and adds greatly to the comforts of the citizens. Should the weather remain good all of the paved streets will be flushed during the mext ten days. Preparing Notices to Clea Within the last few days the mayor has had an inspection made by eanitary offi- clals of the condition of the alleys in the business portion of the city.

Ten days' time will be given from the date of serving the notices. Should property owners neglect to comply within this time the city will have the re- fuse removed and charged to the persons owning the property. Brennan Goes Away. Up.
