tinued to increase in the extreme
northwest localities served by the

Conservation Urged
Mr. Garland's chief concern is due

water is making it necessary to keep
the pumps going unusually hard in
conveying the water from the fltra

Statistics show, it was stated, that

Health Officer George Cook, fol- lowing the custom of other years, has designated the first two weeks of April as the time for a general cleanup for the town of Plainville, Dr. Cook, in discussing his choice of the time for such a campaign, stated that he is anxious to have local residents make serious ef- fort to make necessary changes so that when Easter dawns bright and fair the appearance of the town will surpass that of any other town or city in the state.
 Back yards are mentioned espe- cially in this connection. It should be the aim of every true-hearted Plainyillite to see that ashes and rubbish are removed from his or her premises. Dr. Cook says.
 The time is rapidly approaching when the town of Plainville will be in need of some system of garbage collection. There is at present no concerted effort made toward the disposal of garbage and conse- quently each individual adopts his own method which sometimes proves obnoxious to somebody else.
