Have your say About GarbageI

a committee of the Voters League,
appointed to make recommendations
1 for the removal of garbage, ashes and
rubbish, is sending out postal cards to
the householders of Wauwatosa, re-
questing immediate answers to qnes-
tions asked on the return postal card.
The committee is employing this
method in an effort to get the senti-
ment of the city in regard to garbage
removal and the proper plan to ac-
complish it. The danger Of garbage.
ashes and rubbish to public health
makes this an important question to
every resident of Wauwatosa. While
the proper disposal of garbage by the
individual householder is a good plan
as far as it goes, it has not been con-
sidered dependable enough to be real
protection to the public health. Every
family is endangered through the gar
bage, rubbish and refuse OF the negli-
gent or careless neighbor.
The only adequate solution seems in
making a removal of the garbage,
ashes and rubbish matter of munici
pal action The purpose Of the postal
cards which have been mailed TO the
wauwatosa citizens is to secure Stats
ties which win enable them to make
the fairest and most practical recon
mendations for the city to take care of
this work. The committees work will
be greatly aided bg the prompt return
of these cards.
