COMPLAIN OF
RUBBISH In
CITY STREETS

Complaint is made of the litterng
of streets with rubbish dropping from
the carts and wagons used in the col
lection of ashes and garbage about the
city.
It is pointed out that some of the
wagons and carts whose purpose il
is to clear the city of rubbish are
really littering the streets in a man
ner far more displeasing than if the
litter were left in barrels or bundles.
Several residents of the west side
i'm the past two or three weeks have
complained of paper and other bits of
rubbish either being blown or drop
ped from ash wagons into the streets,
leaving an unsightly trail for pedes-
trians to behold. II is believed. how
ever. that the Street and Sewer Direc-
tors will enforce a rule that the litter
and rubbish shall be covered or placed
in the carts and wagons in such way
that it cannot be dropped or blown
