I
It is safe to say that one reason
for the appointment of Dr. C. C.
Benedict as health officer for An
chorage by the Alaskan Engineering
Commission is evidenced by the
complete plan he has inaugurated
for the disposal of garbage and
otherwise putting Anchorage in a
clean and sanitary condition, and he
a«ks for the co-operation of the en
' tire community. The Daily Times
' feels safe in saying that this plan
j will be adopted and the people of
rhis city will act upon the sugges
' Dons offered and in every way co
operate with Dr. Benedict in this
movement, and the Daily Times
takes pleasure in publishing the pro
posed plan in today’s paper:
' “For the purpose of disposing of
waste material from kitchens of pri
! vate residences, hotels, restaurants,
etc., commonly known as garbage,
the health and sanitation depart
, menf has adopted the following plan,
I and in order to properly clean our
city and keep it clean, the co-opera
tion of every citizen is requested.
‘‘It shall he the duty of every
property owner, whose property is
occupied, to provide a sufficient
number of suitable garbage cans.to
hold such refuse as shall ordinarily
be thrown out, such as cans, bottles,
ashes and kitchen waste.
“It is desirable that as nearly as
possible the kitchen refuse, such as
scraps and parings, should be
wrapped in newspapers and burned
in the stove. During the summer
this cannot be so closely followed as
in winter, when heating stoves will
be in more general use, and if not
burned this way we prefer to have
it placed in the cans not wrapped.
It is desired to have the ashes from
the stove put in the can instead of
piled in the alley or low places, as |
the ashes are needed in our method
cf disposal.
“The can must be of metal and
have a cover fitting closely, so it is
fly proof, and should also he water |
tight. On account of its attraction
for flies, the can should stand at the
back of the lot instead of near the
kitchen door. It should rest on two
parallel pieces two by *'our inches,
to raise it off the ground and permit
free circulation of air underneath.
“The department will collect the j
garbage and dispose of it and such
charge assessed against the owner
of the property as shall be necessary
to pay his or her share of the actual
cost of such collection and disposal.
In order to clean up‘ promptly what
has accumulated, a sufficient force :
will be put to work at once to do it,
after which regular collections will
be made once a week in residence j
districts and twice a week in busi- ,
ness districts.
“It is requested that those prop
erty owners on whose property garb
age is now accumulated shall put it
in barrels or boxes, to facilitate
handling, and it will be removed
promptly. Official regulations cov
ering this subject will be issued
June 1st, 1916, by which date the
owner of each occupied lot must pro
vide a sufficient number of suitable
fly-proof cans to properly contain
such garbage as may accumulate, ac
cording to the frequency of collec
tion. All back yards must be kept
in a clean and sanitary condition.
“C. C. BENEDICT, M. D..
“Health Officer.”
