That was the slogan taken up by the city officials and business men in preparing the city for this week when so many different things will be held. The Illinois Mayors' association is convening here, the North Shore Mu- sic Festival will be here and the an- nual observance of Memorial Day will be held Thursday. The slogan has been carried out to the letter. As a result of the decorations that have been made the city is in its best dress. Despite the fact that the new fountain did not arrive the city fixed the small park in Fountain Square with an impromptu fountain and with many flowers. The water was turned on the basin and sprays from the pipe around the top of the basin soon filled the bowl. Many large flower boxes with beautiful plants added color to the square. Flowers In Parks. The other parks throughout the city were all put in order by Super- intendent of Parks B. F. Housel and his men. An abundance of flowers has been put in all the parks and the lawns have been well groomed. The parks were not the only place that flowers were to be found. Plants were placed along the side of the al- ley by the Northwestern university business office on Davis street. The city had all the streets cleaned and put in first class condition yes- terday so that there would not be a spot in the city that could be a blemish on the otherwise clean ap- pearance. The city did not do all the decorat- ing, however, as the merchants did their share. Flags and artistic win- dow designs were to be found throughout the business district. The Commercial association had its large flag strung across Davis street. The association's rooms we|* deeora|ed with flags and banners of the or- ganization. ' . /. The big feature of the decorations, however, is the lighting system that haB been installed, pri Davis street, between Chicago avenue and Foun- tain Square, decorative Hgnt posts with a cluster of five powerful bulbs on each post has been installed. It was through the efforts of the ways and means committee of the Commer- cial association that this system was put in. Throughout the small park at Fountain Square the city had strings of different colored lights strung from the trees. Lon^ strings running from the buildings surrounding the Square were also put up. These will be turned on for the first time this evening. The efforts of the city and the business men did not go unappre- ciated as many of the visiting mayors remarked of the decorations and said they were anxiously awaiting this evening vwhen the lighting system would be turned on. FOUR DOCS PICKED UP BY DOC CATCHER After an all day trip about Evans- ton Monday, the dog catcher returned with four dogs found running on the streets without being muzzled. One of the canines has been claimed and the other three are still at the dog pound. Because of the small number of pets found Monday without muzzles the police have every reason to believe that the owners are muzzling their dogs.
