Mayor Davant, of Savannah, sent out a circular letter asking his peo ple for suggestions as to how to better keep the city clean. Ho has received a large number of replies. Bome of which are local to Savannah but some of which may be fine tips to other cities. Not all of the people who were Wirt ten to agi^ne tha-t it is the ne glect of the public that is responsi ble for tho unclean condition that city frequently is in, as Is indicated by this Suggestion: "To have the city "show tho right spirit by cover ing its garbage and paper trash wa gons." The man who wrote this called attention to the fact that gar bage and trash is scatered on the streets by the wagons that go about uncovered. Samples of the replies are: Have bo.xes or bags at the public schools, and secure the assistance of tho teachers in having children uso them instead of throwing paper from lunches 011 the ground. Have teachers iustruot the chil dren that it is a violation of ordi nances to use chalk on sidewalks or houses or fences, and get police to cooperate in stopping scribbing of this character. Have another inspection of all premises and notice served 011 those without covered garbage cans to get them and use them before the warm weather sets in. Have the trash wagons call more frequently in business district. Com plaints have been made that these wagons do not come unless sent for to collect nccummulated trash. Provide more boxes in the busi ness district. They are too scatter ed now. And see that there are covers on them easy to raise. Prohibit the scattering of hand* bills and other advertising matter., qu tho street* Other'- cTlies do this, cutting out this class of adver tising matter entirrely. ?
