chairman of the Women’s Cfvic
League, and Mesdames W. B.
. Flanagan, P. F. Myers, C. S.
Bratton and * Chas. J. Crane,

request for better sanitasv con-

number of matters on which
they wanted action, and all
were very much in earnest in
* their desire to have the city
cleaned up and kept clean.
Among other things asked for by
the ladies was a city inspector
who should have the authority to
inspect meat markets, grocery
stores, the milk supply, the
slaughter pens and all places
- where food supplies are handled
and sold, making it mandatory
that he visit such places daily
and be given police power. The
ladies volunteered, to accompany
such inspector on his trips when
deemed, advisable. They wanted
an ordinance giving the health
officer authority to order back
yards cleaned up and weeds cut
and burned, and ^ilso asked that
a trash wagon be placed at their
disposal to keep trash hauled
away from the homes in the city
regularly. The ladies also peti-
tioned for a public incinerator
^for burning the city refuse.
Following their petitions a lengthy
and important discussion took place,
both ladies and members of the com-
mission taking pact It was finally
H^jb^that a trash^ wagon be provi^
ed as asked for, afid the ladies wer<j|
asked to scj^g^st a man for inspector
and ascertaiP’.what salary would be
necessary and refer the information
back to the council This is one of
the most important matters present-
ed to the present council, and the
ladies are determined to get result*.
They express a willingness to do all
in their power to improve conditions,
and especially with regard to food
supplies.
