Dr. G. Lincoln Furbush, director oi

Referring TO the area from Pine to
Ftzwater streets and from Second to
Thirteenth. Director Furbush said /:
The streets in this section were found
to be in very unclean condition.
"A slight rain during the day and
warmer weather resulted in the melting
of accumulated snow and ice and the
releasing of imprisoned garbage and
filth.
"Morbidity charts which show the
prevalence Of disease are compiled by
the health department. They show that
in the Second Third and Fourth wards.
where the accumulation Of filth IL
greatest. there ia more sickness than in
any other section Of the city.

the streets into cutters. There il lies
for days and even weeks at time. In

sidewalks with dirt, and If the residents
are energetic enough they sweep it back
into the street when the sweeper has
passed.
The necessity for scientific street
cleaning is very great in this city,

to the improved street cleaning systems
in Dresden and Munich before the war.
