Committee Meets April 5.
The decision reached yesterday to hold
the first meeting of the central commit
tee, which is to direct city cleaning week
proper. next Friday, April ), instead of
Saturday, April Ii, as originally planned,
has met with general commentator.
Representatives of the various organize
tons who are to serve on the committee
and who have taken active interest
in the general plans for the campaign
are convinced that the advance committee
meeting date will not give too much
time in which to complete all arrange
ments for the campaign.
The central committee will deal with
the problem of cleaning the entire city
and keeping it clean. 1t will appoint an
executive committee to receive complaints
and handle the details of conducting city
cleaning week.
Although for the present the children
of Washington will be asked to clean up
only the premises where they reside, it
is extremely probable that when city
cleaning week gets under way another
by the central committee. 1t practically
is assured that the Boy Scouts will be
asked to contribute their services by scout
ing over territory to which they will be
assigned the lookout for nuisances
and places that need cleaning up.
