VACANT LOTS MUST
Be KEPT CLEARED
Health Commissioner Has Plan Of
Sanitation Which He Thinks
Will Work Out.
MAKES CALL TO CIVIC PRIDE

Health Commissioner r. w. Con-
nell believes that sanitation and at
Effectiveness are coordinate features
OF municipal life, and IL is his pui-
pose to help solve the vacant lot prob
lem this year.
The doctor announces that he will
open in his office in the city hall a
bureau for the promotion Of vacant
lot improvement in this city. He de-
clares he sees great possibilities ia
this idea and he adds that he wishes
TO cooperate rather than to conflict
with other organized efforts along
this and similar lines.
The commissioner views the situation
first from the standpoint OF sanitation,
but growing out Of the movement he be-
lioves will be practical results in the way
Of cultivation Of flowers and garden
truck, to say nothing Of tho improved
appearance Of the waste places Of the
city.
Wants List of Lots.
This official wants to get the people
thinking along lines OF a cleaner and bet
ter city at this early date, although
spring IL still lingering in the lap Of
winter. He suggests that citizens who
will grant the use Of vacant lots send
their names and the locations of the lots
10 his office and those desiring to use
vacant lots may have access to the lists.
lie also suggests that the children OF
the city take advantage of next week 8
school vacation by starting to clean up
their yards. placing the refuse and rub
Dish in convenient heaps Later In the
spring the mayor will issue his annual
spring cleanup proclamation.
Most Clean Lots.
The health commissioner states that
owners who decline to grant the use OF
vacant lots TO others who would like to
improve them, will be required to clear
such lots of all unSghtly or unsanitary
material
1T will mean much for Omaha this
season II every citizen will do his or her
share this pring to cean up yards and
alleys without delay" says the health
commissioner.
In few weeks the health inspectors
will start on their spring inspection trips
and Will serve notices in cases where
such action seems necessary. The health
commissioner. however. wants Omahan,
20 work in cooperation with his depart,
ment and to feel more than ever a sense
OF civic pride.
