Despite adverse recommendations which have been made from time to time by Superintendent Cohn of the Street Clean-Up Department, the Administrative Board yesterday designated the annual "Clean-Up Week." By a vote of 3 to 1, the board set aside the third week in May for the purpose. The motion of Chairman Hirschberg, the period was named, with Commissioners Hobson and Koikes voting in the affirmative, and Commissioners McCarthy and Heck opposing it. In official circles there has been a sharp division of opinion as to the advisability and benefits of "Clean-Up Week."
However, to make the work effective this year, the board has requested the cooperation of the Police and Fire Departments, and directed the Street Cleaning Department and Health Department to carry out its orders. Policemen, firemen, and sanitary inspectors will be especially detailed to inspect all premises, and where undue accumulations of trash are found, the persons responsible will be summoned to Police Court.
"Clean-Up Week" was inaugurated several years ago primarily for reducing the fire hazard by removing from all premises waste accumulations of paper, old rags, boxes, and miscellaneous articles of no value, which are frequently held with a view that eventually they may be taken from basement or attic and put to some service.
