mittee of the Board of Com

With widespread complaints
having been received in regard
TO the failure of Boy Scouts units
to pick up wastepaper after be-
ing notified that ii is ready for
them, Nickel announced today
that persons having no outlet of
their own for waste paper, rub
Der, rags, corrugated b o X e S,
cardboard and scrap iron may
call the Board of Commerce of
flee at Telephone No. 244 and
the collection of the material
