Suggestion
[ Clean-up week has begun. At sun
rise this morning it officially started
when teams of the Pennsylvania Re
duction Company got on the job with
extra teams in addition to its regular
force.
The big idea, of course, is simply
cleanliness for its own sake; but in
addition the cleaning away or garbage
and refuse will make it harder by a
good deal for the fly to breed. Dr. J.
M. .f. Raunick to-day says:
"Everyone must help. In case of
inefficiency of the collectors reports
should be made at once to the Bureau
of Health."
Here are some things which Dr.
Uaunick says it is proper both as to
time and civic, spirit to do:
Clean up lawns, gutters, backyards
and alleys.
Burn or haul away all garbage and
rubbish.
Prune shade trees; plant trees on
lawns and parkings.
Fill up dange.ous and unsightly
holes in vacant lots.
Repair fences, gates, porches,
screens, windows, etc.
Tear down old, worthless and un
sightly signs.
Make children's gardens in vacant
lots.
Tear down old, worn-out awnings
and put up new ones.
Plant llower gardens and shrubs on
lawns.
Spread disinfectants in germ-breed
ings holes and buildings.
Whitewash cellars, barns, sheds, etc.
Paint store fronts, porches, window

CERTAIN ITEMS PROM
NEW HEALTH RULINGS
Say It Will Be Hard For Them to
Scrape Along Under
Regulations
Final action on the adoutionof the
new city health and food regulations
may not be taken to-morrow after
noon by City Council.
Certain changes in tlie rules relative
to the conduct of barber shops are
contemplated and it is probable that
the suggestions of the barbers of the
city on the subject may be embodied
in a series of amendments.
A committee of barbers waited upon
City Commissioner Lynch Saturday,
asking that the provisions relative to
individual cups' hair clippers and
brushes may be modified, and the
committee conferred upon the subject
with City Commissioner Bowman, the
father of the measure. Commissioner
Lynch said that he expects to confer
with Mr. Bowman to-morrow morning
and it is likely that whatever amend
ments are. decided upon will be pre
pared for introduction at the after
noon session.
The regulations were offered last
Tuesday and were laid over for a
week. The provisions cover every
phase of the food and health safe
guards for the city. As a rule the new
order of things has been accepted with
general approval except a few restric
tions as to the conduct of the barber
shops.
To-morrow will be a busy day for
Council as far as the passing upon
bids for various departmental con
tracts is concerned. There will be a
lot of pipe and other supply bids for
the Water Department and the pro
posals for the new street sprinkle! and
sweepers for the Department of Streets
and Public Improvements.
City Commissioner Harry F. Bow

some weeks ago, but the figures, in the
commissioner's estimation, were en
tirely too high. Tie will opeta the new
bids at 3 o'clock. May 11. All told
about 400 new meters will have to bw
purchased.
Bids for necessary hydrants etc.,
were opened this afternoon by the
commissioner.
