Seven squads of scouts were formed and were instructed to remove tin, cloth, paper and wood advertisements from fences, trees, poles, stones, etc., on the highways, but not to touch those on private property. Before starting they will report to the board of trade headquarters, and they will bring back their trophies, which it is assumed will make a very varied collection.
The squads are made up as follows: Putney road - George Daley captain, A. Fawcett, Pearson. Linden street - Lyman Adams captain, Rice. Western avenue - W. Heywood captain, L. Heywood, Dugan, Emerson. Canal street - A. Richardson, Laundry. South Main and Vernon streets - McKeon captain, Cook, Madden, Parkhurst, Pierce. Bridge street - A. Davis captain, Rolin, Danforth, and four others.
