KEEPING THE CITY CLEAN
The light talk of some candidates of saving money on street cleaning and other services showed a lack of knowledge of present needs, said Mr. L. Hennessey, a Labour candidate for the Hospital Board . and City Council. Dumps of old tins and rubbish on vacant bits of land spoke eloquently of an inefficient service. Not one citizen' in five hundred even knew the routine required of attending the Engineers' office, and filling in a form in order to have removed a. few salmon tins, a worn-out sheet of corrugated iron, and a kerosene tin that had outlived its service. All-they know was that the men who emptied the dustbins were not allowed to collect anything that -could not be burned in the destructor." The street cleaners were apparently instructed to ekvm our streets, and carefully avoided any rubbish a few feet off the street line.
