Parks Refuses to Remove
Cans Bow Scouts Pick Up

City Commissioner Parks, super
intendent of the street cleaning de-
partment, declares he will not remove
tin cans which the Boy Scout officials
propose to have dragged to the Strand
theater as a spectacular feature of the
cleanup on April 20 and 81.
"a statement that would haul
these cans away was entirely without
authority. | will not move the cans,
because I do not approve the idea.
If the boys will place the cans in
alleys and help load them into our
wagons, they will do some practical
service for the welfare of the city,"
said Mr.. Parks.
The proposition announced last
week was to have Boy Scouts drag
tin cans through the streets on strings
and place them in large heaps at
Eighteenth and Douglas streets.

Local building contractors are
somewhat pecved because the Ath-

a bid on it.
The Athletic club plans are now
out, ready for distribution to the con.

say this announcement catches many

that the addition of this one which
must be figured within week is ALSO
lutely unreasonable.
