ALEXANDRIA. Va. April S, 1913
Everything Is in readiness for clean
up week. which will begin Monday morn
ing next, under the direction Of the city
health department Aiding in this
movement will be the health officer, DR..
e. A. German; the deputy health officer.
Dr.. James j. Garvey; members OF the
Civic Improvement League, and members
of. the police department. together with
the Boy Scouts.
To make the city spotless will be the
policy. Probably two days Of next week
will be designated for disposing of all
rubbish, and efforts will be made to
arouse the interest Of all residents in
the movement.
A part OF the program mapped out in
cludes the annual inspection of yards and
alleys by the police department. Members
OF this department will keep a record OF
the places inspected and also the recon-
mendations they make. which are to be
subsequently followed up to see that they
are carried out. Failure of citizens to
comply with the regulation will result in
police court action.
Probably the most important thing
which will follow this crusade will be a
swat the fly campaign, which will be
inaugurated Immediately following clean
up week. This also will be under the
direction of the city health department.
Prizes will be awarded each month to the
children swatting the largest number OF
flies.
