Flagstaff History: New courthouse clocked chimed for first time

100 years ago

1926: Under the leadership of the Women’s club and under the general direction of Mrs. F.M. Gold, president of that organization, Flagstaff next week will be given the most intensive and aggressive cleaning-up campaign ever conducted here. And the way everyone is cooperating is fine. The Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, the schools, the churches, the civic and fraternal organizations — all are enthusiastically in line. Now, if individual citizens will only do their part, straightening fences and gates, raking up and disposing of weeds, ash piles and rubbish, it will make the campaign a complete success. If the campaign is a success, we may all feel with pride that we have made this a healthier and cleaner town. It will make a more favorable impression on visitors. It will enhance real estate values.
