Nature has graced our city with many charms which make it a city beautiful. Garden-plots and lawns; shrubberies and trees; parks and watercourses — these are the ornaments of our landscape.But if we let trash and filth disfigure the city, if we let these ugly things lie on our properties and our streets, then. Nature's work has been in vain. Therefore. I repeat the appeal and the slogan of the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce; therefore. I urge upon you to do your duty in this clean-up movement.
