The WASHINGTON Loan and Trust Company 17th STREET AT G MEMBER FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEN ‘THE ‘EVENING, STAR, WASHINGTON, D. |Outdoor Cleanliness | Association Planned At Meeting Committee Urged Increase in Funds For Street Work A meeting looking toward the organization of the Outdoor Clean- liness Association. of Washington, which would campaign for main- tenance of clean streets, sidewalks and parks to add to the attractive- ness of Washington as a place of residence and show place of the Nation, was held at the home of Dr. Harry A. Garfield yesterday. Dr. Garfield, who is chairman of the Street Cleaning Committee of the Dupont Circle Citizens’ Associa- tion, presided and told of efforts his committee had made to have a more thorough job done by the Street Cleaning Department. Believing the current appropria- tion for street cleaning was insuf- ficlent Dr. Garfleld’s committee urged the Senate, District Appro- priations Subcommittee to increase the amount in the 1941 supply billl. Dr. Garfield sald that in a letter he wrote to the subcommittee he quoted from a letter he received from ington attorney, who had written: “Persons visiting Washington make constant and vigoreus comment on the filthy and disorderly condition of the sidewalks, strewn with news- papers, dirty wrapping papers, car- tons, orange peel and many other forms of rubbish.” New York Work Explained. Dr. Garfield was foilowed by Mrs. Frederick H. Brooke, who explained the work being done by the New York City Outdoor Cleanliness As- sociation. This is an incorporated body founded in 1930 and works in co-operation with the Sanitation and Police Departments and’ other municipal agencies. The keynote of its crusade is co-operation of an awakened public. This requires considerable education, which is carried on by means of school lec- tures, posters, radio broadcasts and other forms of publicity. As many members as possible are enrolled who sign a pledge reading as follows: “I pledge myself not to add, through carelessness or other- wise, to the litter in the streets of New York and as an earnest sup- porter of this pledge, subscribe to the membership indicated below, for which I inclose my check.” There are these classes of membership: General, $1; contributing, $2; sus- taining, $5, and patron, $10. Besides the membership pledge, other pledges are circulated for signature which carry no financial obligation. By a unanimous vote it was de- cided to appoint a committee to draft a plan for organization of the association. The fdllowing were named: Mrs. Brooke, Mrs. Riley E. Elgin, Dr. Garfield, Mrs. Leo W. Kasehagen, Mrs. Mahlon Pitney, Mrs. R. Thomas West and Jesse C. Suter, chairman. Need for Asseciation. It was the consensus that all the various civic organization should be utilized in the e but’ that there is needed an sssociation created solely for this pi to specializeé'in this field and to assume leadership of the. organized forces in the work. - Among those présent other than those mentioned were, Walter I.
