FROM THE PEOPLE EDITOR ASTORIAN Dear Sir: I shall esteem It a persona favor if you will kindly inform me who Is the person authorized to have the garbage removed from"the streets and back yards many of which are littered with Hi-smelling debris. I have been to the chief of police and he referred me to the health officer, who4old me to go to the city attorney. That official Is out of the city, so what must a man do? With out police and health officers It seems to me that we should have some place or person to which we can sub mit our complaints. If people do not know enough to keep their back yards clear of garbage. It is up. to somebody to teach them, and to see that .they ob serve the letter of the law. I believe there Is some person whose duty It is to look after the health of the city. Please advise me. T. B. BIDWELL. (We would advise the writer to sub mit his complaint to the board of health should the city health officer decline to receive It. Councilman Morton, chair man of the council committee on health and police would be a responsible per son to advise of unsanitary conditions. -EDITOR.)
