COMB TO THE TIMES.
No. 41.
CLEAN UP THE TOWN.
At its meeting Tuesday night,
the town council passed an im¬
portant ordinance, which is pub¬
lished in today’s Times. It pro¬
vides for the removal of garbage,
rubbish and debris, and the pro¬
motion of the health of the town.
We understand that there is
some disagreement among the
members of the council in regard
to their powers in such matters,
and as to what authority should be
assumed in the direction of clean¬
ing up the town. We learn that
some members of the council are
desirous of taking seme steps to¬
ward giving the town a clean and
attractive appearance, while oth¬
ers are inclined to the confine opinion
that the council should its
authority to such garbage and de¬
bris as the sanitary committee
might regard as threatening to the
health of tiie citizen’s. The au¬
thority of the ordinance just pass¬
ed is limited to this class of gar¬
bage.
But the Times believes that the
council would have met the iiearty
approval of the tax payers of the
town, if it had extended its au¬
thority a littld further, r i he old
empty barrels and boxes thrown
out in open lots, and the old wreck¬
ed houses and shelters and dead
trees scattered around over more
or less of the private property of
this town, do not endanger any¬
body’s health; but they are a dis¬
graceful feature ol the incorpora¬
tion, and should be removed.
