SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE
" When the general spring clean-up
is on we Would suggest that :some-
thing be done to beautify or to hide
the yards back of several Victoria
street business plans which front
on Ontario etteet.
This yard is, of course, the bath
yard of these business places, where
ashes and refuse 'must be piled dur-
ing the winter months. But, owing
to the angle on which our streets are
built, -these- backyards "front" on
Ontario street, which 18 Clinton's
main thoroughfare and a Provincial
Highway. So, because of this, be-
cause everyone driving east and west
through Clinton, has to drive past
this yard, it would be a great im-
provement if something could be done
to make this spot less of an eyesore,
Much has been said about the ugli-
ness of -billboards but a neat bill-
board, with a driveway at either en'
enabling a team to drive an and out
of the yard, would • be a great' ien-
prevernent on the 'pz:esent state of
• things. Perhaps if' the Horticultural
Society would meet the owners of
these yards, who are all
excellent and -loyal eitiz
ene, some way could be worked out of
leaking this snot len ugly without
infringing on the right or overlooking
the need of these citizens using their
back yards,
