2 You have told us repeatedly since the opening Of this campaign mat you
have phed the schools of Fl Pso upon a cash basis. Is 1t lot a rae thaIl e
gcbooi are not upon a cash basis and that all employees of the public schools of
Fl Pso are compelled to discount their pay warrants because there's n money
on hand with which to meet them? If the schools are upon a cash basis, as
Won say they are, why is it necessary that teachers and other employees Oh the
schools. who can i'll afford it, should be compelled to bear tisb burden?
8 Why, with an expensive garbage disposal plant in operation, is it necessary
for the garbage collectors to dump Ohd Of all kinds Inau' NTH HON e4nn
closets and c@s-poos of the outlying portions Of the city, { che city rservaro
Immediately south Of Washington park and within 300 feet Of the ZOO one Of
the most attractive features Of that park!
This does not refer to the dumping of countless loads OF tin cans, paper
boxes. ashes and other forms IF trash which, while unsghty are not menaces to
health particularly, but to dead animals, barnyad manure, swil, ce@pool filth
and other forms IF decaying matter that lot only smell to heaven, but Dreed
countless millions Of flies and deadly disease germs
It is true that much Of the garbage dumped there is consumed by hogs,
goats and bmros that browse over the place. but what is the garbage disposal
plant for except to destroy this form o. trash?
a. Why is a break in the pipe which carries the liquid sewage pumped into
il from the deep eve allowed to 60 unmended while sewage flows over the
surface Of the ground, but a short distance from Washington park creating a
fouLsmenng, dteasebreedng moass? Efficiency nj safety first II not
economy, should demand that this break be repaired.
