CANON CITY'S
CLEANUP DAY
BIG SUCCESS

The people of Canon City have rea-
son to felicitate themselves on the ex-
cellent results obtained in connection
with their cleanup day" campaign,
which reached its climax on Wednss-
day when between two hundred and
twenty-five and two hundred and fifty
wagon loads of rubbish af various -
various kinds were hauled from the
alleys and vacant lots about town to
the public dumping grounds on the
river below the Ninth street bridge.
Although not very inspiring spec
tacle the huge pile of trash, carted cat
of the alleys and from the unusea
spaces within the city limits, is 4
monument to the civic spirit of he
community and eloquently procaims
the general desire for public cleanli-
ness. - 81 I
The energy displayed on Wednesday
by t. NJ. Harding Jr., chairman of the
cleanup day" movement, and his
lieutenants and helpers Is deserving
of unstinted praise and commendation.
To them is due much Of the splendid
success of the enterprise, which can
hardly fail to stimulate a stronger
pride in the town on the part Of its
inhabitants. A large force of convicts
f,om the penitentiary with twenty-five
teamsters and wagons were engaged
in the task and so completely did they
do the job that very little rubbish WAS
left uncared for after 5 o'clock.
Cleanup day" has been an annual
affair in Canon City for five or six
years under the direction OF the Civic
Improvement league and by process
of education the citizens are beias
taught to take such a personal pride
in caring for their promises that 4
specially designated Cleanup day"
will not much longer be necessary.
While the amount of refuse hauled
away on Wednesday did not equal that
of some previous years it is safe 10
say that the streets and alleys are
fully as clean at present as they have
ever been before.
