Every Other Day and Ashes Once
In Two weeks-Result of Con-
ference.

Superintendent Cohn, Of the Street
Cleaning Department, and DR.. z. C.
Levy. chief health officer. Tuesday
afternoon conferred with the Admin
istrative Board on the question of city
cleanliness.
After more than two hours discus.
sion between the members of the
board. It was determined by the board
to curtatl the collections Of ashes and
other n-cunbusttbles, during the
months OF the summer, June, July and
August, and switch the ash -gatherers
over to the garbage force, thus giving
the Street Cleaning Department a
third more men for the collection OF
garbage
From now on there will be one coll
lection Of ashes and tin cans. paper
bottles and other trash, every two
weeks. The men who have been col
iecting this refuse every week will be
placed on the garbage route, which
VIII mean gathering OF garbage every
other day during the summer.
In his remarks to the board. Mr.
Cohn showed that the complaints re.
ceived in his office were mainly from
people who themselves should hely
the city to keep clean. but who 81
still and depend upon others. the civ,
particularly. to do what they them.
selves should do In keeping their own
premises In order.
He referred to the people who keer
their back gates locked when the gar.
page man comes around the people
who cut the grass and throw It into
the street, ana the people who per.
NIT weeds and grass to grow up all
around their premises. and then cal,
upon the city TO remove them.
DR., Levy said he would prepare q
set rule for the board. and would see
that the men in his department saw
that the citizens themselves observed

McCoys. Eighth and Broad Streets,
for the reception Of little gifts to be

This idea was suggested by Major
c. o. saville and others Of the old
First. They figured that the boys
now on the border would appreciate
gifts Of tobacco. cigars and cigarettes,
not to overlook chewing gum. There
fore they decided that the best way
to reach the old members, and any
others who wish to contribute, would
be to place the box at this central
corner
1t is the idea Of the promoters OF
the plan to send the box by express
not later than Saturday. Information
from the front is that delicacies
and other little things are scarce and
hard to get. A chew and a moke
and hunk of chewing gum, they
figure. will help keep the saliva OF
