this world a better place; to stop
the killing and suffering of people
in the war-torn areas; and to reach'
all people, in alii places with the
teachings of Christ.

The City Commission assured
citizens that a garage ordinance is
in the offing at a meeting Tuesday
night. Mayor Frank Cleveland and
Commissioner Dave Martin were
joined firmly in the proposal to
adopt - an ordinance that would
make compliance with the regula-
tion mandatory.
Sanitation was tha keynote
of the commission meeting.
A delegation, composed of
Mrs. R. Kunitz, Jr., Mrs. Ross
McGlothlin, Mrs. William
Palmer and Mrs. Wayne
Waddell appealed to the com-
mission to clean up the town.
The group indicated that accep-
tance of closed garbage containers
and more frequent pick-up of trash
would be a step in the right di-
rection. Agreement was opinioned
by the city fathers.
Commissioner Martin, who said
that he has been swamped by
phond calls recently, has been
Working toward a garbage ordi-
nance for some time. Martin has
gathered considerable data on
procedures for handling garbage
in cities similar to Sinton.
The commission reported
that they are now awaiting
correspondence from the
League of Municipalities in
Austin regarding an ordinance
that would fill the needs of
the city. The ordinance would
impose penalties on those per-
sons failing to comply with
tha regulations outlined.
The city witnessed a demonstra-
tion of a new packer-type garbage
truck last Thursday. The commis-
sion submitted a call for bids on
two of the vehicles Tuesday night.
Local truck dealers will bid on
the units which are expected to
cost approximately $5,000 each.
In line with the proposal to
clean up the city, Mayor Cleveland
issued a proclamation to the public
for cooperation in sanitation un-
til such time as an ordinance can
be enacted. The proclamation
follows:
“In view of the fact that various
-contagious and infectious diseases
are raging within the vicinity of
Sinton, Texas, and,
*“‘ln view of the fact that many
of the residents of the Town of
Sinton and its vicinity Havel re-
quested that some steps be taken
toward obtaining a more sanitary
condition in the Town, I, Frank
Cleveland, Mayor of the City of
Sinton, hereby respectfully re-
quest that all people within the
Town of Sinton and within the
vicinity thereof keep their prem-
ises in as sanitary a condition as
possible and especially that all
such persons use covered garbage
containers instead of open barrels
and cans as has been the practice
in the- past. Those covered con-
tainers to be used should be of a
size from twenty to thirty gallons
and it is anticipated that a City
ordinance will..- he enacted at an
early date, requiring that all such
garbage containers be of a twenty'
to thirty gallon size and be equip-
ped with a tightly fitting cover
which shall remain on at all
times."
The commission moved to clear
up- crowded traffic conditions at
the corner of Sinton and Russ
Avenue by widening the Russ
Avenue thoroughfare to ninety
feet. City Secretary J. P. Hall was
instructed to make the necessary
arrangements to get the surveying,
paving and curbing done as
quickly as possible.
Others attending the meeting
were City Attorney H. A. Burnett,
Johnnie M. Brown, Franklin
Cufry, Harrell Curlee, Ray N.
Franklin, James F. Tracy *and Dave
Coover of Corpus Christi.
