HOW BURLINGTON
HANDLES GARBAGE
Burlington Plan Might Contain Some
thing Interesting for This
City,

Burlington Hawk-Eye:- Burlington
has good garbage collection service.
The health officer Ia giving the mat
ter personal attention and Mr.. Sues
sens, the contractor, is carrying out
the rules and instructions in a salts
factory manner, so far as The Hawk
Eye is advised.
Mr.. Henry Mckee, one of the coll
lectors, has developed an interest In
the work that deserves recognition as
an incentive to others. He handles
the garbage cans in his district as If
they were intended for reasonable
service and not to be smashed Where
there are proper housings for them.
he replaces the cans always with the
covers on. to exclude flies. He also
seems to be a student of the new sci
ence Of efficiency" now practiced In
factories and many industries and en-
pigments. His district is carefully
mapped out, like a mail carrier dis
trict to avoid doubling" on any
street, thus saving his team from un-
necessary work, and himself from loss
of time. Wherever practicable he
uses metal receptacle into which
the contents of the garbage can are
emptied, thereby making only one
round trip" between wagon and can,
instead of the old way in which the
garbage can was carried to the wagon
and emptied and then carried back,
making two round trips instead of
one This plan also saves the garbage
can from the hard usage formerly Civ
en- it.
There is great difference in thu
way people treat garbage collection"
said MI. Mckee to a reporter of The
Hawk-Eye. Some have good, water
tight cans and keep them under cover
from the weather and to the exclusion
of flies. Others have leaky cans
which faint the ground and walks
when handled, attracting flies and
vermin. The offal of fish, fowl and
scraps of meat purify in the unhous.
ed cans under hot sun, rendering
the contents exceptionally nause-
GUS and permeating the air with bad
odor.'
! Every can ought to be kept within
an enclosure that will exclude flies,
the direct heat of the sun, and kept
reasonably clean by washing out.
Some beautiful premises are marred
by unsightly garbage cans. They
are not intended for publicity. Bur
lington is improving every year in
| fine houses and beautiful lawns and
flower gardens, but there is room for
Improvement in the household care OF
garbage. The defects mentioned by
the collector are really violations OF
the city ordinance and health depart
ment rules. 1t ought not to be neces
sary to resort to enforcement of the
law; laudable public spirit, and per
sonal good taste ought to inspire ev
cry citizen to do his part to make Bur
lington veritable health resort an

Is There An Accurate
Clock in Atlanta?

To the Editor: To begin with, I have
no watch. There are in existence sew
eral good reasons why l haven't a
watch. but as that has nothing to do
with the story. l won't give any Of
them
But I speak for the vast army Of the
watchless when l say that the public
clocks of Atlanta should be better reg
ulated. Yesterday, for instance. I was
al the Aragon hotel and had an ap-
pointment in half an hour at Brown &
Aliens corner. l started down the
street and began to look for a clock.
The first one l saw was near Auburn
avenue. 1t had no hands at ALL The
next one farther down said quarter aft
er 4 and it's companion a few feet on
gave the time as high noon.
| ask you in the name of reason and
sanity, to have something done about
this I don't see how you can expect
a man to meet his girl if this condition
is allowed to continue Respectfully.

If only for the sake of the girl who
might be deprived of the company of
so pleasant a CORES ondent, this condi-
ton should certainly be remedied.

Once More Abusing
The Poor Autoist.

To the Editor: Some Of us like music
and some of us like pie. None of us,
that can recall, dislike sleep.
There's fellow in this city who has
an automobile horn that sounds like a
pipe organ. Ordinarily, it falls upon
the ear quite pleasantly, but after II
o'clock it's about as melodious and at
tractive as boiler factory Every
night-morning I should say-this man
parades out Peachtree grooming away
with all his might. Result get to
sleep about o'clock Stop him. won t
you? A WOODBEE SLEEPER.
Thus is the taste for the esthetic and
beautiful discouraged and the poor au-
toist once more abused OF what ac-
count is the comfort of a man in bed
beside that of a downtrodden autoist
seeking a little relaxation?
