CANTON RUBBISH

DUMPING.

FINES ON A PROGRESSIVE SCALE INSTITUTED.

CLEANER STREETS.

The Canton Bureau of Public

Safety has issued a notification to the public announcing that the practice of dumping refuse and dirt on to the roadways le a con- travention of municipal regula tlons, and such practice must be stopped on pain of penalties on a sliding scale. The fines becoms heavier with anch repetition of the offence.

Littering the streets with rub- bish is a habit that cannot bo tog

strongly condemned, particularly from the public health point of view, but it is a practice that has prevailed for ages past although for some yours now the authorities have made several attempts to educate the public to drop such a Althy habit.

The last plan to make Canton a cleaner city was the provision of rubbish biti ut streat corners, the, public being urged to throw their: rubbish into these receptacles.; Some measure of success was obtained, but though these bins helped to reduce the quantity of liltor that WHS thrown indie- criminately into tho public thoroughfares, the unpleasant edora arising from the rubbish and dirt still permeated the atmos- phere. The unthorities then de- cided that these rubbish bins were to be done away with.

The present regulations make the house-holder responsible for the proper storage of rubbish. The refuse is to be kept in proper receptacles in the house, and these containers are to be emptied into the municipal rubblah earts an they make the rounds of the

streets.

Anyone discovered dumping rubbish into the streets hereafter will be fined fifty cents for the first offence, one dollar for the second occasion, two dollars for the third repetition, and five
