Under this head short articles will
appear on Tuesdays and Saturdays
on subjects relating to public health.
OUR ALLEYS.
There is tnith in the saying that
Cleanliness is next to Godliness. There
is also much truth in saying that
cleanliness means health.
People take just pride in a front
yard that is plowed, fertilized and
seeded to produce a pretty lawn and
they keep it wre!l trimmed and mowed,
getting down on their knees for an
hour in the morning and an hour in
the evening in order to make it as
good or better than their neighbor’s.
They dig weeds and dandelions and
pay extra for water that they may
have plenty to keep it alive and grow
ing through the hot months. All of
which is very commendable and helps
to make a beautiful city, when seen
from the street.
But how about the alley behind the
house ? Is it free from rags, bottles, j
cans, ashes and even garbage ? Does
the property owner or tenant think
that the pile of ashes or cans or the 1
pail of slop water thrown out back!
of the toilet is hidden from the alley? j
Does he think that because there is a
snow fall every two or three days to
cover it up that the spring sunshine
will not showr him up to be a careless
and slovenly citizen?
Let me bring it home to you, Mr. t
Citizen of Anchorage. Suppose our
streets were closed to both wheel and
pedestrian traffic for one day. How
would you like to travel past your
own and your neighbors pile of back
yard rubbish and scattered garbage?
How would you like to “watch your
step” as you picked your way over ice
as Smooth as glass, or recover your
hat and your temper after a fall, in
order to reach the back door of the
store, the only available entrance.
How would you like to see the fire
department team slip and fall on the
ice in your alley or upset the wagon
over a pile of wood in the alley in an
effort to reach your store? We have
a real paid fire department now, con
sisting of three men and one team who
devote their entire time of 24 hours
each day to keeping themselves in
shape and ready to respond at any
time of day or night.
There are a few people so careless
of their own and their neighbor’s
welfare that they will pile wood in the
[ alley to such extent that a teamster
must thread his way through, The
I fire department responds to a call in
a hurry and cannot take time to dodge
wood piles, so clear your alleys and
give them a fighting chance.
Come with me aivl walk slowly
through a block of third alley less
than a mile from this office. Garbage
is collected there four times a week
yet there is one place whose proprie
tor always “wants to keep it clean”
but he seemingly cannot do so. Yes,
he has been “seen” several times, but
always “There’s a reason.” Maybe
you eat there, I don’t know. (Some
day we will have something to say on
kitchens and bakeries, too.)
We might take a block in Fourth
alley, too, and show you the same
thing, but let us hurry on to the resi
dence part of town. You’ll be sur
prised to see a few of the back yards,
very close to the kitchen, too, and you
may be surprised to see who answers
the rap on the door, if you give one.
We won’t rap this time, as we are just
looking around. There is one with
empty cans and slops making a nasty
glacier just outside the back door, and
here is another the* recent snow has
party covered, but you mustn’t step
on it or you’ll slip and fall.
As we return to town you say, “I
don’t see how they can do it.” “Neith
er do I,” I replied. “Especially when
we furnish a garbage team at low cost
to collect all rubbish four times a
week in the business and once a week
•in the residence district, and wish to
have reported to our office any failure i
to make such collections.”

the sport line is the contemplated or

will recover $2,250 out of $3,250 which he took to the city I
wrapped in a salt sack and pinned to a trouser’s leg. He !
lost it walking along the streets, and his unique “safe I
depository” indirectly leaves him short exactly $1,000. ]

will not deposit in banks can never be ascertained. If |
you have saved up some money, don’t take chances with I
it. Bring it to our Bank.
