NORMAN
HAS RIGHT
To COMPLAIN
After Street Commissioner
Gets Streets and Alleys
Clean People Litter
Them Up Again.

Generally it is the street department
which has to take the kicks but this
time Street Commi ssioner William
Norman is doing the kicking. He IS
getting disgusted with the manner In
which the Hammond folks muss up
the streets and alleys after his boys
have given them the once over.
People have been howling all spring
to have their alleys cleaned and now
that the employees Of the street de-
partment have about finished their
rounds Mr.. Norman says that many Of
the alleys look as bad as before the
v agons went through. In spite of the
fact that there is a city ordinance
against throwing out paper with gar
bage and ashes. he says. frequently
he catches some householder in the
act of tossing an armful OF loose paper
upon the ash pile. He makes 1t a point
to bawl out such persons. but he can I
see them all The city ordinance re-
ouires that paper should be burned.
Throwing II into the alley means that
within a few minutes II will not be
there. but may be blocks away dec
Grating the shrubbery and lawns OF
other householders.
Down N the business district the
same trouble meets Mr.. Norman every
day. but he is gradually getting some
OF the business men interested. They
are installing cages in their alleys
where paper can be burned without
risk to surrounding property Another
thing which spolls the looks Of the
business district says Mr.. Norman. Is
the practice OF merchants in sweeping
the refuse from their stores across the
sidewalks and into the cutters. This IS
invariably done after the street sweep
- haze done their work.
