(International) City Manager Requests Cooperation Of Citizens Numerous complaints by resi dents of the city, regarding gar bage containers being left in the streets after garbage collections have been made, brought a re quest from City Manager A. C. Nichols yesterday. Nichols said there is a regular ordinance which disapproves of this practice and asked that resi dents pick up their containers im mediately after collection has been made by the city garbage depart ment. He said the main vein of the complaints is in the outlying areas of the city particularly the areas which have recently been made a part of the city. He also expressed the opinion that when residents of the areas mentioned in the com plaint, get accustomed to the col lection schedules, they will not have to be asked to make early pick-up of the containers, a prac tice. “Leaving the garbage containers to lie and roll about the premises and streets gives the area an un kept appearance which detracts from the beauty or appearance of cleanliness which ordinarily would prevail,” the manager said. The opinion that any loose gar bage which should happen to come from the containers, left out undue periods might cause an unhealthful element, was also advanced.
