TIE UP YOUR
Waste PAPER
Street Directors Say They
Will Enforce Ordinance
In This Respect
NEWSBOYS WILL
ALSO BE WARNED

Numerous complaints having been
received of late by the department
concerning the blowing of waste pa
per and rubbish from the city ash
wagons and receptacles placed at
the 'curbs by residents, plans to cor
rect the nuisance were discussed at
length by the Street and Sewer Di-
rectors at their meeting this morn
ing.
The cause of this condition was
attributed TO the fact that persons
place materials out to be collected by
the ashmen, not properly bound
into tight bundles. Under the city
ordinance persons placing out bun
dies of paper and waste not prop
erly tied are liable to a fine OF from
81 to $40.
The directors decided to send
men out TO notify householders and
occupants OF business houses vio-
lating this resolution that drastic
measures would be resorted to by
the department to stop the viola
tions. The newsboys who allow their
papers to scatter over Market street
also came into the discussion, and
they are also to be notified of the
directors decision. An inspection
will be made first by the department
to ascertain who he violators are
The secretary was instructed to
request the Department of Public
Safety to have the police instructed
to enforce the regulation requiring
all waste paper and other materials
to be properly tied in packages be
fore being placed on the curb for
collection.
