i. 1t is not perhaps known or Thought Of to
r great extent, just how fast the town Of Scrar
ton il growing into a place known rs well
the South rs Chicago is in the North. A cit
, should be more than a name, the Mayor an
:. Council should be given something to agr,
q about, and the something most needed is
herd law within the confines of the town. Ca
tie, horses and hogs should be stabbed ~
!, penneh or herded. All garbage should ciih'
be burned 81. removed to a safe distance fro
the town aud destroyed. Each house sh0u
be provided with a garbage box, which mn
be emptied by the collector Of garbage eve
u morning. II il high time q public meetir
should be held and these improvements insis
ed upon for the double purpose Of cleanline'
aud health. Petitions 10 the Town C0unt
should be passed around and unanimous
l. signed, asking that an appropriation be ma
a to furnish garbage wagons and hire help nee
n ed for the removal Of all trash. The soon
such an improvement in made the better I
our reputation as a healtl, resort. Wh9}st
terprising enough TO take the initiative so
in this direction?
