Time For Spring
Glean Up Campaign
Advises Health Officer
"It is time now to start the
spring clean up campaign that
will make Bartlett a more health-
ful and sanitary tewn this spring
and summer" Dr. W. J. Harlan
city health officer stated Thurs-
day in an appeal to Bartlett citi-
zens. "Home owners might begin by
caring for their yards and gar-
dens" he stated. "Do not allow
-tagnant water garbage heaps
cr anvthinir to accumulate that
will produce flies mosquitoes or
offensive "odcrs ana' see" that the
winter collection cf debris is
carried away or destroyed" he
continued. Persons who keep
cows and hogs within the city
limits are requested to keep
their lots and pens clean.
An especial appeal was made
to persons whdi sell milk to the
public to see that their cows are
healthy and vigorous and to see
that the cows remain at all
times negative to the Tuberculin
test administered by a competent
veterinary surgeon.
' Merchants are asked to coop-
erate by seeing that the alley
back of their places of (business
is kept clean and sanitary and
free of all trash. "Please do not
'deposit refuse water or any-
thing else that will create dis-
agreeable odors in the alleys of
the business district. Such prac-
tices create not only filth but
flies and mosquitoes" Dr. Har-
lan stated.
"Unsightly and unsanitary
alleys are not in keeping with
Bartlett's usual community civ-
ic interests. It is too much to
ask the city to" finance the clean-
ing up of our alleys at regular
intervals. It i3 a matter that
must be attended to by business
owners. If each business house
in town had; this done regularly
employment would be given to
some who need1 it and at the
same time you would be per-
forming a commendable act and
a splendid piece of work for your
town' the city health officer
Stated.
Dr. Harlan requested the co-
operation of all citizens in keep-
ing Bartlett a clean1 and health-
ful city this spring and summer.
