of the writer, formerly well known
resident of this section:
Sunnyside, Wash, May 5, 1916.
The weather here is fine; spring
started the middle of February and
spring work then. The greater part of
the corn was planted in April. Spuds
are now being planted. Now, in re-
gard to those four silos mentioned in
a former letter, have received more
data on the matter. The rancher fed
700 sheep and part of the winter $50
head of cattle, and is going to enlarge
his silo capacity and put up 500 tons.

The common council has very
wisely set apart a time for a
general clean up in Clio and has
provided for the carrying away
of all refuse that may be collect
ed during that period and at in
tervals thereafter. To our mind
few more important pieces of
local legislation have ever been
enacted than this; few in which
a little OF the peoples money has
been devoted to a purpose where
it will accomplish so much for
public good. We sincerely hope
that every citizen will take hold
and help to make the movement
a present and permanent success.

should continue this collection at least
once each week during the entire SUM
mer season. The expense involved is
negligible as regards the results OBJ

vided for the cleaning up of the alleys

Clio and the above suggestions are
made as the most economical and salts
factory way OF obtaining the desired

Another thing that | noticed in my

village officials of Clio should be re-

necessary to construct and maintain

placed in such an ordinance and the

not live up to it. This is highly i'm

be pushed to an early adjustment.

the proposed improvement will bring

STATE HEALTH OFFICER
CR|I|CISES SANITATION
: ALLEYS AND OUTBUILDINGS
IN CLIO ARE VERY BAD
Points Out Means for Correcting Dan
gerous Conditions and Says Some
thing Must Be Done

Attached to this article Is a copy OF
a letter addressed to DR.. j.. l.. Bur-
kart, Secretary of the State Board OF
Health, by one of the inspectors at
tached to that department, a copy OF
which has been filed with DIR. Ben
Goodfellow, health officer of this vii
lage. The letter needs no elucidation,
as it tells very plainly what the in
spector found as we'll as his conclusions
and recommendations with reference
thereto, We may say, however, that
the health officer has recommended sew
eral plans whereby the public health
and cleanliness may be conserved dur
ing the warm summer months. lie
recommends that closed garbage recep-
tacles be provided, especially in the
down town districts, 80 that flies may
be prevented from breeding in and dis
tributing such deeomposing material.
This may be accomplished by the use of
garbage cans or ordinary dry goods
boxes fitted with screened or covered
tops. The village council, we under
stand, would see to the collection of
such garbage and dispose of it at proper
intervals. The health officer also rec
ommends that privy vaults be made
tight around the base and properly
screened, so that flies may not gain ac
cess to them and then. likely enough,
walk upon food and drinking vessels
with their polluted feet. These recon-
mendations, it will have to be admitted,
are neither foolish nor extravagant.
Their observance will entail nohard-
ship and we hope they may meet with
a general and cheerful compliance. The
local health officer will be held respon-
sible to the state board for the carry
ing out of effectual remedies correcting
existing conditions and will have no
alternat tive but to make complaints in
cases of noncompliance.
Following is the letter Of the State
Health Inspector:

Or. i L. Burkart,
Sec'y State Board of Health,

Dear Doctor The alleys especially
in the business district of the village
are in very bad shape. Piles Of rub
bish, ashes and garbage are in evidence
in any direction you care to go. Some
organized means should be employed
Immediately to clean up this accumu-
lation OF the winters debris. | believe
that money should be appropriated
from the general fund of the village
for this purpose. In no other way can
uniform results be obtained at min
imum cost to the citizens. When it is
left to each individual citizen to clean
up the garbage and rubbish around
his place most everybody will cheer
fully comply with the request, but if
there are no more than two or three
who do not clean up their premises
everybody else has to suffer from the
odors given off and from the flies
which will accumulate around mater
ial of this nature. ! believe that the
village should not only provide teams
