Sidewalks on Main Street Are a Perfect Sight

Tobacco Spittle Covers Cement and No Effort Being Made to Stop It

What would be the matter, for a change, in enforcing the anti-expectoration ordinance?

A glance at the sidewalks on Main and other principal streets will disclose the fact that there is just as much spitting on the walks as there ever was before any such ordinance graced the statute books. In front of several of the saloons on East Main street the sidewalks are a sight. Loungers about the entrances to those places are probably the worst offenders. Not a little of it probably is done late at night after the stores are closed and loungers gather to sit on the steps, swap lies and spit tobacco juice. In front of Sam Henderson's store the condition this morning was disgraceful.

The fine for one "spit" is five dollars and for the second and subsequent a little more. What would be the matter with taking a step toward remedying the existing conditions.
