DELAYS were encountered through the
neglect of householders who failed TO en-
close their rubbish offerings in contain
ers. The property owner who fails to
obey this first law of garbage collections
runs a very real risk of FORGETTING the
privilege which the street and health de-
partments are extending the citizens of

the same schedule followed in the weekly |
