WANT LOTS KEPT CLEAN.
Health Officials Protest Throwing
Rubbish on Vacant Spaces.

An appeal to persons living near vacan
lots not to throw rubbish on the property
Is contained in the weekly report Of the
District health department.
Insanitary vacant lots are prolific
source of disease, accord ng to the health
officials. There is no other condition OF
preventable nature that is the cause of
as much complaint or is more difficult to
deal with, it is stated.
Investigations have shown, states the
report, that owners of lots are not as
responsible for rubbish being on them as
are the persons who live near the prop
erty.
1t is very convenient to throw rubbish,
garbage and other refuse matter ON a
vacant lot continues the report, but
somebody must remove it, if a nuisance
is created, and it appears rather unfair
to the property owner to hold him re
sponsible. and to assess him for the cosl
of abating nuisance; yet that is what
tn department is forced to do in the
absence of knowledge of the real Of
fenders.'
Since last January. 1t Is stated. there
have been eighty-one notices served for
abatement of nuisances on vacant lots.
