Cleaning Trash From
Highways Costly Item

Thoughtless, trash-tossing motor
lists are costing the State more than
81 900 a week-and the State Roads
Commission has started determined
drive to reduce the highway-rubbish
nuisance by making the motoring pub
lie more conscious of it.
New signs warning that throwing
trash on the highways is against the
law have been placed in areas around
Baltimore, and similar signs will be
placed on main roads in other sections
of the State.
Commission records show that the
bill for labor and equipment to pick
up the trash that motorists strew
along the roads of the State comes to
about 100000 year. Commission
Chairman Russell II. Mccain de-
clared: 81 believe that most motorists
who contribute to the highway litter
problem are simply thoughtless; they
just don't realize what a costly and
troublesome job it is to go around
picking up after them. If they can be
made to realize it | think their own
pride will make them be more care
full"
