An Open Letter

My dear Mr.. Commissioner:
notice by the papers that Magistrate Hrschfed re-
Gently collected 5000 in fines from 1873 who had
been summoned violations of the sanitary CODE Their
specific crime failing to garbage
By you commended Magistrate Hirsch-
field for his prompt and energetic action and am sure that most
pubcsped citizens will hail this move TO keep the CITY OF ne"
the evil odr that from garbage cans when
negligent leave them uncovered However you will permit
should like to make number OF suggestions which earned
making New York city Of which we can all be
truly proud
Like all newspaper men, my office
depart hours of the morning
My observations would
confident greatly assist you in making your campaign against
garbage uncovered even more effective
Being working newspaper, Daily Worker seldom takes
convinced that those
Magistrate Hrschhed leaving the garbage
umized direct you
cupts eed summariy dealt with
It Would Surprise You, Commissioner
IN MY way where modest
apartment quiet existence consistent with bray
emitting Daily Forward Hour daily encounter men
who like dig their hands deep into the gar
hardened have these people become
stop in their tracks
paby approaches Racked by hunger these personsmen
and chdreneagry they find in the
bage rong decayed food with them
undoubtedly these Who to carry away their prey
houghtesy leave the garbage cans uncovered thus creating CIVIC
problem City which all know is already
many probems-suh the cutting down Of relief
firing and the mobilization of the police
forces for attacks against the unemployed
make
to that under proper supervision TINS Vg proo OF m
garbage genuine advance for
administration Would not be feasible for example
to have the city itself take over the garbage cans ana onSe us con-
cy unemployed? In this the money which now goes
additional the bankers to whom
debt of honor and as for the legality OF my proposal am con-
Accounts Mr. Paul Banshard could
provision the statutes to justify this new program
Under Proper Supervision of Course
nF COURSE would not suggest program
anarhisc without the supervision
department called the Department of Garbage Disposal could
established incidentally would provide jobs number
individuals might have been left out in the cold after
Although this method of dsposng of
garbage might possibly reduce the ACTIVITIES OF the CITY nceao
think would be to reduce the administrative staff
the city large of
monef include the obtained by contractors Tor their sup
city administration will that it not
necessary administrative staff in charge of guard
ing these incinerator plants
If my proposal meets your approval
suggestions actual working of the Department Gar
bage Disposal Unemployed million people
unemployed city York would help considerably
deans chemists would be engaged thus reducing
the number jobess dieticans
collaboration with chemists computing
calories different kinds of garbage thus putting
the whole thing a scientific basis
endless possibilities
the garbage-say Avewould be much
richer vitamines than the garbage on the East Side
Progress by Gradual Reforms
INCIDENTALLY adopted would eliminate another
that the disturbing spectacle of little children digging
into garbage This would doubt long toward em
child the United States despite the fact that the
United Court has ruled that law to abolish child
labor unconstitutional
might point out that the feeding of the obe from garbage
supervised trained staff of its ncidentahough
quite important train
opportunities acquiring the social to learn dining
etiquette
Above ALL this problem
perrbed Sanitation which brought
Hhfed various offenders
namely garbage khty
the pleasure meeting the poi
the city, having voted for Chief
the last election spirit
mocracy you will your earliest
sderaton.
Very truly yours
SENDER CARLIN.
