CIVIC LEADERS AID
D. c. CLEANUP PLAN
Dr.. ReicheIderfer and Darr
Boost Special Week
Over Radio.

Dr.. Luther H. Reichelderfer, president
Of the Board of Commissioners, and
Charles W. Darr, president of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce, solicited
the cooperation of all District citizens
in the "Clean-Up" week to begin to-
morrow, in radio speeches last night.
The Commissioner spoke from Station
WRC and Mr.. Darr from wMAL.
DR.. Reichelderfer urged Washington
to maintain sanitary conditions all the
year and to make special efforts to
clean their homes, yards and parks this
week.
He told of the services rendered by
the sewerage and trash and garbage
disposal departments.
He said:
"It always must be kept in mind,
however, that the value of these services
depends In very large part upon the
intelligent cooperation Of our citizen
body as a whole. Garbage must be kept
separate; placed in proper containers
and regularly taken up. If mixed with
other materials, difficulties are encoun-
tered In disposing of it In the District
garbage reduction plant. This plant,
by the way, reclaims valuable greases
used In making soap and thus yields q
considerable income which lessons the
disposal cost borne by the taxpayer.
I'm the case of trash and rubbish Of
other types, it is only too easy to be-
come negligent and to allow such wastes
to accumulate, thus creating inSanitary
and hazardous conditions.
Front and back yard gardens should
be regularly raked and cleaned to pre-
vent the piling up of inf1ammable ma
terials and to retard the multiplication
OF mosquitoes, flies and other possible
sources of infection and annoyance"
Mr.. Darr also emphasized the need
of year-round cleanliness. He made
the additional point that proper main
tenance Of public and private property
will act as q help to business, since It
Will increase the value of the property,
give more people employment and In
crease trade in houlehold and garden
equipment.
