BLAMES THE POLICE
FOR FILTHY STREETS
POWELL Evans Approves Cans
Bill, but Says 1t Does Not
Go Far Enough

The police department and the Mavis.
trates were severely censured today fo~
their disregard OF the city ordinances pr,-
N'u'"s ior the arrest of scavengers and
persons who litter the streets with waste
by Powell Evans a vice president of the
chamber of Commerce who is conducting
vigorous fight for cleaner streets in Phil
adephia.
Mr. Evans said that the bill introduced in
the House of Representatives at Harris
burE by gmund Cans. of Phlladelphia
providing for fine of SIS and costs upon
persons charged with throwing dirt and
rubbish on the streets. was n good mea sure
but that we must have decent" Magls-
trates TO impose these fines and live" po-
licemen. who really mean to enforce the
law. Mr.. Evans illustrated the inefnciency
OF the present police force in this matter
by saying;
II have learned from reliable sources that
scavenger was prodding through box of
waste almost directly under the windows
OF the Highway Department at the city
Hall Now. this Is Illegal. A number of
special policemen. wearing their badges
witnessed this act and discussed II. but
none of them ventured TO arrest the man.
I'VE need decent judicial and police en-
forcement OF these laws II we want our
streets clean. our Magistrates would not
enforce anything unless it is for their
friends. and the police-well they wouldn't
arrest any one"
From the Highway Department It was
learned that more than 5000 scavengers
operate in Philadelphia daily. The fact that
they have been permitted to continue their
occupation. despite the city ordinances. was
not due to THAI department. nor is the power
OF enforcing these laws within the jurisdic-
tion of the Highway Department, but en-
tirely in the hands of the police
Director Wilson. IT is asserted has prom
ised to cooperate with the Highway De-
partment in the future rnd a campaign
against the scavenger ana against the per-
sons who hurl waste on the streets will be
inaugurated soon.
The Chamber of Commerce. according to
Mr.. Evans, will. push the fight for cleaner
streets jointly with several other bodies
until the matter is settled
The Cans bill. which was introduced yes
terday. is measure to cover the entire
state of Pennsylvania. 1t provides that
costs and fine of So be imposed by Mag
istrates or Justices of .:ie ;'eace upon per-
sons charged with having thrown any dirt
rubbish. sweepings or refuse any side
walk or public highway. The bill refers
particularly to merchants and firms. and
makes them liable for sweepngs permitted
by their employees to remain on the pave
ment. Constables and policemen are en-
powered to make arrests without warrant.
