Women Bracking Movement
For City Garbage Truck
—. i
It is Said Housewives Will
Present Petition to Alder*
men Asking Them to Be
gin Free Garbage Service.
WANT REGULAR
i TRUCK SCHEDULE
Would Have Truck Visit
Every Street in City at
Least Once Each Week and
Move Garbage For Them.
It became known Friday that several
civic organizations of the city are going
to begin a determined fight to get free
, parbngp service in the residential sec
tions of the city. The Daily Tribune
and The Concord Times months ago ad
vocated such ia service, but their sug
gestions were not taken up by city offi
cials and so far nothing has been done
in regard to the matter.
According to information obtained by
a representative of this paper the women
of the city are behind the movement now
and they are determined to get results
or know just why the results are not ob
tained. These women, it is said, know
that it costs them several dollars each
month to get garbage moved from their
premises, while some of their neighbors
who are unwilling or unable to pay this
price are allowing their garbage to ac
. cumulate an entire year, to be moved
in the Spring when the annual Clean-Up
week is observed, thus in away nulli
fying their efforts to keep conditions san
itary.
At present, it is said, individuals con
tract to move garbage once each week
for 25 cents a week. However, if the
housewife during the week has more
garbage than she can get in her can or
has some grass, weeds or something of
the kind thnt has to be moved, tbe gar
bage man taxes her for an extra load, in
most cases .TO cents a load.
And what good does it do. from a
sanitation standpoint, for Mrs. Jones to
keep her garbage moved each week, when
Mrs. Smith, who lives next door, has
hers moved just once a year, these wom
en ask? Diseases that originate in the
yard of Mrs. Smith are n menace to the
Jones househeld. And in many instances,
the women- also declare, Mrs. Smith does
not move her garbage because she can't
afford to pay ‘s3 or $4 a jnonth to get
'if moved.
Am| tbe women who want tbe free
garbage service also ask another perti
nent question. Why is it necessary to
keep the garbage in the business section
moved each day when it is allowed to
accumulate an entire year in the resi
dential section? The city furnishes wag
ons to keep the trash boxes of the busi
ness houses cleaned out, the housewives
point out, and they are unable to under
stand why they are not entitled to simi
lar service. The business houses pay
big taxes, it is admitted by the women,
but they do not pay all of the taxes, yet
heretofore they have been getting ser
vice that is partly paid for by the home
owners of the city. The local merchants,
it is shown, do not pay anything extra
for the garbage service, therefore it is
paid for out of the general funds of the
city that are collected from taxes, paid
by homeowner „aud business rantaagejr
alike.
The women do not argue that the gar
bage service for the business houses
should be discontinued. Rather they
want the service extended to the residen
tial sections.
"Why have one clean-up week a year?”
one advocate of the garbage service ask
ed. "We should have 52 such weeks
each year, and we could have them if
the city would co-operate. The house
wives will see that the garbage is col
lected and placed in cans on the side
walks, where it can be easily placed in
wagons or trucks if the city will pro
vide the said wagons or trucks.”
The women contend thnt one truck
would serve the city. A regular sched
ule could be mapped out by which the
truck could get to every street in the
city once each week, and under this ar
rangement all garbage in the city would
be moved each week, iustead of being al
lowed to accumulate 52 weeks as is doue
now in many instances.
It is said on good authority that a pe
tition asking the aldermen to put on
the garbage service is to be circulated
throughout the city in the immediate fu
ture. The petition, duly signed by prop
erty owners, and also endorsed by local
clubs and organizations, will be present
ed to the aldermen at their July meeting.
The petition, it is rumored, will contend
in part that it is right and good to em
ploy whole time health officers and nurs
es, but thnt their work iB made harder
and is somewhat nullified by the insani
tary conditions that exist because of
the accumulation of filth and dirt in the
city.
Ekigfond Hants Unique Motor-Way.
lemdon, June 7. —Road congestion
resulting from the rapid Increase in
motor transport is beepming a serious
problem in the British Isles. As one
means of solving the difficulty a pro
posal will be brought before Parliament
shortly for the construction of an ex
clusive motor-wnay between Tendon
nnd Manchester, the section of which
will be made from Bimingham to the
latter city. Hie rondwify will ho en
tirely enclosed, and will pass over and
under all other roads, railways, or
canals, so that throughout' its entire
length there will be no grade crossings.
Along the route there will be definite
junctions where the great roads will
make connection without impeding traf
fic.

Raleigh. June 7 (By the Associated

throughout the state, members of tlie
Democratic party in North Carolina to

I lieultrue, Commisioner of Labor nnd
Printing. (Attorney-General. Insurance
Commissioner, Corporation Commission
er; and Congressmen from the first,
fourth nnd ninth Congressional districts,
other candidates having been unopposed
and already certified as nominated.
Although interest was keen in all con
tests, the battle between A. W. Mclewn.
of Lumberton, and .1. W. Bailey, of Ral
eigh, for the nomination as Governor
held renter of the stage. Ail active cam
paign has been waged by both candidates,
and it was expected that, with tbe fair
weather making country roads passable,
a heavy rural vote will be cast, and the
total vote probably will be one of the
heaviest in the state.
The only points reporting threats of
rain today were Salisbury and Charlotte,
where cloudy weather was reported this
morniug.
The polls opened throughout the state
at 4:57 a. in. nnd close at 7 :26 p. m.
Local interest in Wake County, al
though high;as to the race for Governor,
centered somewhat on the race for legis
lative nomination, seven gentlemen seek
ing to represent the county in the House
of Representatives.
The death of former Senator Gallert.
who died suddenly while campaigning
near Rutherfordton, removed (non the
race one of the leading 'mtorriti Western
North Carolina.
There was no contest for Presiden
tial preferences, as Calvin Coolidge and
Will in in G. McAdoo. having no opposi
tion, had been certified as choices of their
respective parties. Although today’s
primaries were for Republican and Dem
ocrats, only one contest was to be de
cided by the Republicans, that of State
Senator from a mountain district. All
of the Republican nominees will enter
the regular election by certification, be
ing without opposition.
Secretary of State Everett, Superin
tendent of Public Instruction A. T. Al
len, State Treasurer B. R. Lacy, United
States Senator F. W. Simmons, and.
seven of the State's ten Congressmen
were not on the ticket today having been
certified without opposition.
Josiah W. Bailey, of Raleigh, former
(•(.fleeter of Internal Reveille and Angus
Wilton McLean, of Lumberton, former
chairman of the War Finance Corpora
tion, and former assistant secretary of
the treasury, concluded their campaigns
for gubernatorial nomination last night,
aud today the decision of the voters was
being registered on their candidacies.
Both candidates favored freight rate re
ductions, but differed as to the methods
by which to be obtained. Both candi
dates favored tax reduction and equili
zation. Mr. McLean asserting for a
legislative budget control head eel by the
Governor and responsible for the legis
lature, for the present system of taxa
tion with such improvements as from
time to time seemed to be in the inter
ests of the people, and for economy in
government looking to tax reduction.
■Mr. Bailey declared against the present
taxation system, being in favor of shift
ing more cf the tuxes to the business
interests nnd removing them from land,
favoring return by the state to the coun
ties of more of the tax resources, giving
more money to the counties for their
work, and favoring economies in admin
istration looking tot tax reduction. Mr.
Bailey also declared in favor of refrees
in the election system of the State.
