Editor of The virginian:
Sir,--In consideration OF the move
nlent by our city officials to obtain
the cooperation or our citizens in
cleaning up promises all over Rich
n1ond. 70 the end that disease may be
kept down tn the minimum, and espe~
oially In order that the much -dreaded
infantile paralysis may not get a
strong hold here, It has occurred TO
the writer that our city fathers may
be able TO help the situation, especially
on the southside, by providing an
adequate outfit, In the way Of mon.
mules and carts. TO take care, during
the hot summer months. of the ac-
eumulation OF garbage. the presence
OF which. In large quantities. may be
such a tremendous factor in the spread
OF disease.
case to the point: On a certain
street IN South Richmond 1t had been,
some time back. the custom to collect
garbage Eemi- weekly. Recently this
disagreeable material was not moved
from the premises for nearly two
weeks. AS 1t became 40 disa greeable.
e lady called by phone the street
cleaning department. and made COM
plant. man was sent with a cart
and it WAS removed. On being asked
why the garbage Wac not removed
earlier, the driver answered that there
was, for the territory of South Rich
mond, only one mule, cart and driver
| for this purpose, and that 1t was I'M
possible for this outfit to do the work
as it should be done. AS 1t would ap-
pear to the average citizen that this
equipment is entirely inadequate for
the prompt and frequent removal OF
this material IN South Richmond dur

The new chairman Of the Boston
Excise Commission is striving to con-

granting saloon licenses.
Some Of the considerations that

an outing of the Boston University's
Law School Association, according to
the newspaper reports:
