CLEANUP WEEK PROCLAMATION
During a normal year fire destroys over
three million dollars worth of Kansas
property. When the cost of carrying on
the insurance business of the state and
the expense of maintaining fire depart
is added to this sum the total cost to the
state of Kansas is found to be nearly ten
million dollars per year.
That by far the greater portion of this
tremendous fire waste is altogether unnec-
essary is now recognized by all. Much of
the damage results from Accommodations of
refuse, such old clothes, rags, papers,
rubbish and other waste material In and
about buildings of all kinds. Such ac-
winter months, and now with summer
approaching it is good time to clean up
and put all buildings and premises in a
safe and sanitary condition.
The same conditions-that breed fire
breed disease. House waste attracts flies,
vermin and rats. Empty cans and bottles
afford breeding place for mosquitoes. De
cayinE stable manure and the unflyproofed
outside toilet are the favorite breeding
places for the typhoid fly Thus are the
mission of disease and the creation of
health and fire hazards.
In order to bring about a concerted eff
fort all over the state for fire prevention,
the Improvement of sanitary conditions, the
prevention of disease and the identifying
Governor, do hereby designate the week of
April 16 to n, inclusive, as cleanup week
in the state of Kansas and urge that
every resident of Kansas, whether he be
a private citizen or public official de-
vote whatever time is necessary to the
work of cleaning up streets. alleys. back
yards, yards about farmhouses and barns,
Easements and attics of all buildings,
public or private, and removing there
from every possible cause of fire.
In Witness Whereof, / have hereunto
subscribed my name and caused to be
affixed the great seal OF the state OF
Kansas.
Done at Topeka, Kansas, this 10Th day OF
