/ form. Of false pride. = reform Of
habits tending toward q tack Of
cleanliness is 4 crying need Of
most municipalities. Careless
and dirty habits Of citizens call
for unnecessary expenditure Of
public funds, make for higher
tax rates and therefore for high.
er rents. Give this matter a
thought. Citizens Themselves, not
the city authorities. are respon-
sible for street litter. A street
can be Uttered BY a few careless
people much faster than It can be
cleaned.
The proper treatment Tor Of
tenders Of this type is for an Of
ficer Of the law to take the Of.
fender in hand and compel him
or her to pick up the litter and
deposit 1t in one of the recep-
tacles provided for such waste.
Another class Of persons who
persistently violate the law are
storekeepers who sweep their
wastes into the streets. Such of.
tenders should be promptly ar.
rested and heavily fined. A few
such examples will have the de
sired effect.
