WRAPPING GARBAGE.
Health Board Inspectors In Campaign
Of Education.

| Inspectors OF the Board of Health,
by direction of DIR. &. NJ. Handy,
president, this morning started on n
house to house campaign In their re-
spective districts to ask the co-opera-
tion of the residents. especially the
housewives, in the new plan shortly
TO be inaugurated in wrapping gar
bage in waste paper before 1t is placed
in the garbage receptacles. provided
this rule is established. They also arc
instructing the women folks how to
do this where there is any doubt az
to the new methods to be pursued.
City Solicitor Reuben Satterthwaite
is preparing an ordinance making IL
compulsory that all city garbage be
wrapped in paper after it has been
drained of the liquid it may contain
and this ordinance will be presented
TO City Council by him on behalf OF
the Board of Health at the meeting
next Thursday night. Ii will be given
two readings and the following Thurs
day night action will probably be
taken.
DR.. Handy this morning made an
earnest appeal to the people OF the
health officials in this plan of drain
ing and wrapping garbage. He pointed
out that the public should be willing
TO do this from a spirit Of economy, as
well as cooperation, because by wrap
ping the garbage IL will save the city
large sums in the cost OF coal for
with waste uused as fuel in the i'm
cinerating plant practically no coal is
required and i'm addition the plant is
able 10 consume much greater
amount of garbage than when it is in
its wet state.
The draining and wrapping of gar
bage win become compulsory IL the
proposed ordinance is enacted into
law, but the health officials are not
anxious TO have the plan accepted I'm
this way. They desire the free CO.
operation OF the residents in the mat
ter and to this end they have started
their campaign OF education. The
proposed method is far more sanitary
than the present one and 1t eliminates
Objectionable odors and the unpleas-
ant surroundings about homes where
receptacles are kept.
The new ordinance il passed will pro-
vide that the garbage when wrapped
be placed in the ordinary can or re-
ceptacle such as are now used. 1t
will not have to he placed out on the
curb like the ashes. The provisions
of the law will be strictly enforced by
the health officials and the police, ac-
cording to the present plan.
