Another Building Down
Ths City Council is coming in
strong iin waging w.i,r against ugli
ness, filth and germs. Permission
has been granted and as soon a.s a
•rew tan be put to work the old
blacksmith shop building, across the
street from The Bm pi re, and now
used as a garage, will be torn down.
according to iMayor Goldstein. The,
building is a part of the 'Levi estate.;
With this building gone, four worn
out. useless and unsightly shacks I
will make way ifor green lawns or!
new structures.
The council has also started the!
construction of a new sidewalk j
around t'he government building and
grounds, to extend up Seward Street*
from Fourth and across Sixth to)
Main.
William Britt, proprietor of Britt's j
Pharmacy, says he wants to see every
garden and vacant lot in Juneau i
abloom with flowers, and is givng
away sweet pea seeds to whoever
calls for them at his store. The
seeds will produce flowers of various
colors and will grow in any soil. ,
Sweet Peas are one of the best
kinds of flowers to plant, Mr. Britt1
says, for their long vtines will climb]
lilgh, coverring any unsightly spots on'
premises agid will change an ugly
ispent to a riot of harmonious and I
JelighUful color. He invites even one
to try the seeds in some garden spotj
or vacant lot
Paint is one of the main features,
for beautifying the city of Juneau,;
the citizens in charge of* (he cam
paign said toduy, and more of It on
business buildings ami residences
will make a big difference in the ap
pearance of the town.
Try the paint brush everywhere,
they say. On fences, garages, chim
neys, signboards, wagon 3, automo
biles and every little place where a
dab of paint will give a fresh and
prosperous look. If not paint, then
whitewash, it gives a clean appear
ance.
Observers have noticed that many
gardens are being put in about the
dflty and In one or two vacant lots
enterprising and beauty loving ^citi
zens are devoting time to giving' the
city a chance by planting flowers and
shrubs carer old stumps and along
ugly walls. There are still many
gardens and vacant lots, however,
w-hioh show nothing but ugly, bare
ground. These spots can he made
beautiful by a little time and energy
with a spade, seeds and water.
