Philadelphia Once Was Fambus j As Being the CLEANEST CITY in America HISTORIANS relate that nearly a hundred years ago, the old city was famous, both at home and abroad, as being the cleanest city in America. From 1789 to 1826 the city area had been cleaned i by contract, but in 1826 the corporation undertook to do its own street cleaning. Such excellent results were obtained from mu nicipal operation that Philadelphia's clean streets received world-wide fame. Do you want Philadelphia to be famous again for its clean streets? xperienc6 has proved repeatedly that to have clean streets we must clean them ourselves with municipal forces. Would you like to hear Philadelphia as well as Washington, D. C, spoken of as a clean city? Nearly ten years ago Washington substituted municipal street cleaning for contract work. Today a mention of the city's name recalls to mind clean and unlittered streets. New York cleans her streets municipally; Chicago cleans her streets municipally; Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Bos ton, Baltimore, Buffalo even Pittsburgh, in our own Com monwealth clean their streets municipally. Street cleaning by municipal forces is NOT AN EXPERIMENT. The City Charter requires municipal street cleaning in 1921 unless it is set aside by the vote of eleven councilmen with the approval of the Mayor. The Administration's plan for next year is to clean TWO out of THIRTEEN districts by municipal forces. Equipment for these districts is now being purchased. But Philadelphia, though her hands are freed by the new charter, still hesitates to throw over contract street cleaning entirely. You want clean streets, but are you willing to do your part ? You can help ( 1 ) By insisting that your councilman vote and work toward full municipal street cleaning at the earliest possible moment. (2) By making proper disposal of all your own refuse, so as to reduce the necessary street cleaning work. (3) By combining your interest and efforts with 2000 other citizens in the Bureau of Municipal Research, a firmly established citizen agency which is working full time to improve municipal government and obtain spotless streets.
