the litter, as the number OF small paper
bags on the street suggested that pur-
chasers had Immediately taken their
goods out Of the bag and thrown it
down in the street. Policemen have
gone from door to door along the mar
ket streets notifying owners or renters
that the street must not be used for
refuse. The authorities intend 20 make
