WATCH THE GARBAGE - The
State Highway Department Is
again asking the travelling public
to refrain from tossing garbage
and debris from their cars as thew
travel along the State Highways
in order to have the highways pre-
sent a neat appearance.
r. A. Haber, chief engineer OF
the department, while comment
ing on this situation, stated that
with the advent Of fall and early
winter, the leaves will be falling
from the trees and there will be
less shrubbery along the roads.
Garbage or debris tossed from
cars, he pointed out, will be i'm
plain view of other motorists in a
more conspicuous manner than it
would be with the shrubbery in
foliage.
Mr.. Haber stated that keeping
the roads in a neat appearing con-
dition is one of the operations of
the Department and the removal
of the rubbish and debris is be-
coming quite problem since it is
requiring more work all the time.
Concerning the placing of rub
bish or garbage along the State
Highways, or within fifty feet of
a highway, Mr.. Haber reminded
the public that at present there is
a law in this state prohibiting this
action.
The Chief Engineer expressed
the belief that cooperation on the
part of the travelling public in re-
framing from tossing things from
their cars, would prevent the ne
cessity of having a strict enforce
ment of the law, resulting in ar
rests and possible fines, to halt the
practice.
