PLAN CIEAN-lll’
WEEK APRIL 30
Board of Health Also Wants
Motor Truck for Collec-
tion of Garbage.
Tonight members of the Board of
Health and the "Clean-Up" week
committee of the Kiwanis club will
appear before the Common Council at
City Hall with recommendations that
the week of April both. be officially
termed “Clean-Up Week;" that a
motor truck for the collection of gar-
bags be purchased for the Street De-
partmont; and that the Norwalk Fire
Departments be ordered to flush ' the
streets. particularly in the city cen-
ters. These recommendations were
adopted by the Joint meeting after an
hour of discussion during which the
enth’e situation in reference to ash
the annual Spring clean-up week were
discussed from all angioo.
At the meeting of the Kiwanis club
held last Thursday on recommenda~
toll) of Dr. Robert B. Perdue. a com-
mittee was apointed bpy President Ar-
thur C. Wheeler to coooperato with
the Board of Bealth in arranging for
a "clean-up week." The committee
appointed was as follows: Rank 1.
Jones. Charles E. Hoyt. Jolin D. Iiino
and Charles T. Dimond.
Arrangements were mado to hold a
Joint meeting of the Board of Health
and this committe eat the City Hall
yesterday afternoon. The first matter
'to be discussed wastho "Cleanollp
Week" during which each household-
era in Norwalk is eapected tool-on up
his or lid yard -. of reuse accusaqu
atodd thewint~ noses. ltwas
,votod. to end at ,ihe Common
Council am; the yresk of April as.
for this purpose.
Dr. Franklin 0. Brown. of Seavtow
avenue. a member of the Board of
Health. then brought up the matter
of the Scaviow avnue dump as well as
the other dumps throughout the city.
Dr. Brown demanded to know how
much longer the public dumps Were
going to be allowed to exist within the
city centero‘ creating an unhoaithful
situation. He declared taht Seavisw
avenue residents intended to obtain a
court injunction against the city using
ithe Seaview avenue dump for the pur-
Ipost of getting rid of refuse. garbage
and ashes. He said that he wanted
the Board of Health and members of
the Kiwanis committee to support the
Seavie wavenuo people in this move-
ment.
Edward F. Dufly. street commis-
sioner.'declared that the New Canaan
and Seavievravenuo dumps would
haev to be abandoned within another
six months. He said that the dumps
were nearly filled in at the present
time.
Dr. Robert F. Pardue. health oiiicer.
said that'th'e idea of establishing a
pimry at the Naramake Home. at
which all garbage'could be disposed of
had been brought to his attention. Dr.
Pordue explained that several cities in
Connecticut were using the piggery
system with success.
Street Commissioner? Duffy was
asked how many motor trucks would
be needed to collect garbage and to
cart it to the Naramaks home. He ro-
plied one. He further stated that
82.500 would provide the cost of such
a truck and the operation of it for One
.year.
Dr. Brown then suggested that Dr.
Perduo and others present appear be-
fore the Common Council with the
recommendation that this idea he
adopted that a special meeting of the
board of estimate and taxation be
called for the purpose of appropriat-
ing the amount of money needed for
the project. The suggestion was
adopted.
The next matter taken up was
brought out by John D. Milne. He
susgododn that the common council
be asked to flush the streets nights.
Charles E. Hoyt was very much in
favor of this move and gave it his
hearty support. it was then voted that
this matter be incorporated in the
recommendation to be made to the
Common Council by Dr. Perdue.
The matter of the sewer situation
was also brow‘ht out at tho sodon.
Kr. Kort potmed out that the city
certainly should appropriate enough
money to install the sewer system on
dusts where there are no sewers. He

help when the children were deserted
by both parents. and in another case
after the mother's death we watched
over the general health of the young
children and helped the family until it
could get on its feet again- The relief
work was particularly needed during
this past winter. twenty—five {families
were helped and 13: > home Visits

Much of our work is for the chil-
dren of the community. Out of 584

Connecticut escaped very lightly from

day. '

One hundred and thirty-two ar-
rests were made by the federal en-

None of the distilleries and stills
seized was destroyed. according to
the reports. nor was any of the li-
quor poured out on the ground. The
total amount of the selsed property
which was destroyed is valued at
£861.

much as the value of confiscated

The only encouraging mature of
the report. from the bootlegger‘a
point of view. is the fact that the
number of federal agents killed while
on duty was if in the last six months,
at: times as many as in the previous
period. and the number wounded rose
from 16 to 33. None of these casual-

Greater vigilance .together with in-
