Are you helping in the annual clean-up of the alleys and vacant property in Wilmette? This is the question that is being asked by members of the Wilmette Improvement Association who this week started in a small way a campaign to rid the alleys of trash and refuse heaped along the rear passageways.
Because the funds were not forthcoming as fast as it was hoped, only one wagon could be placed on the work Monday morning. While the headway in the "clean-up_ with only one wagon at work will be slow, it is believed that donations will be made so that by next week two or more teams and wagons can be placed at work.
About three weeks ago, it was suggested in a news story in this paper that a "clean-up" week should be set aside for Wilmette. Health Commissioner Moore fell in with the idea, believing that with the co-operation of the householders, a great amount of work could be accomplished. However, other officials have not supported Health Commissioner Moore and now the burden of the "clean-up" falls upon the Improvement Association members.
If you are in line to help in the movement, call up P. M. Bingham treasurer of the association, and ask that the wagons be sent to your home for loads of trash or refuse. Then join the association.
