TIN CANLESS CITY
POSSIBLE IF LAWS
ARE CARRIED OUT
Complaint of Citizen That Port
land Is Too Badly Littered Up
Brings Out Legal Opinion.
t Law in plenty guards against be
littcrment of streets and lots, accord
ing to an opinion which City Attor
ney W. P. La Roche gives today In
answer to a query from a Journal
correspondent.
- Enforced law, it Is apparent, could
make Portland the weedless, un-canless
and spotless city. The complaint which
prefaces the opinion comes from E. K.
Brackney and reads:
KOBE IfOISE THAX WOKK
"During one week of the year the
people of Portland make a great outcry
about cleaning the streets and beautify
ing: the homes of the city. During the
remaining 61 weeks they or at least
many of them, seem to work very in
dustriously toward littering it up again.
Glassin cans, papers, sawdust and every
conceivable moveable thing is left in the
streets and as if not satisfied many
persons sweep off all accumulations
from about their sidewalks into the gut
ters to rot and fill up drains. There it
remains' until the city can remove tt
at public expense. This It seems U. tha
writer ought not to be and the ques
tion is raised : What steps can be taken
by ordinance not only to penalise per
sons for doing this, but also to make
them clean around the premises they
occuy, at regular stated intervals end
as much more frequently as the proper
authorities deem necessary. That Is to
say: -;.. ". - "-.:
First, fine persons guilty of sweeping
or throwing refuse on the streets and
gutters, and then
Second, compel them to take regular
days or .times and sweep the entire
street or at least the gutters around
their' premises. ; '
"If something of this kind can be en
forced our taxpayers can be greatly
relieved of the burden of cleaning the
streets and at the same tin.- me city
will be greatly beautified and benefited
The statement by the city attorney
follows: '
FEXALTY IS PEOVIDED
"Answering your note of the 21st In
stant, enclosing letter from E. K. Brack
ney is The Oregon Journal, in regard to
glass, tin cans and other rubbish in
streets and gutters, we beg to , advise
thst article II of ordinance 33923 makes
it unlawful for any person to throw
Into or deposit in any streets, side
walk or publio place any junk, ashes,
filth, litter - or , waste material except
at such places as may be designated by
the department of publio works, or to
throw Into or upon any street, sidewalk or
public place any glass, crockery, nails or
other thing whereby the feet of per
sons or animals may be injured. Those
who violate the provisions of this ordi
nance are subject to arrest and fine or
Imprisonment. If the police officers and
others officers fail to detect and avrest
the offenders, any citizen who detects
a person offending against the ordinance
may by making application at the city
attorney's office ih the municipal build
ing. Second and Oak streets, obtain the
issuance of a cotnplaint" and prosecu
tion of the offender. The greatest point
of difficulty In regard to enforcing- the
ordinance is the difficulty of ascertain
ing who the offender is. The mere
fact that cans ori rubbish may be In a
street In front of; a certain house does
not constitute adequate evidence to
prove that the ower of the house or the
tenant of the house cast the rubbish
upon the street, and it usually happens
that those who have knowledge of the
offender fail to t gives the necessary
information to thts authorities or coop
erate In prosecuting the offender be
fore the court.
"There are other ordinances which re
quire the cutting of grass from premises,
the removal of rubbish and other articles
which cause danker of fire or which
are detrimental - ?to the publio health.
There are also i provisions which au
thorise the city engineer in cases where
a nuisance exists in the shape of rub
bish, cans, etc.,; upon lots or adjacent
street ares, to poet "notice -upon the
property requiring the owner or occu
pant to clear away the rubbish, and in
the event of his failure to do so within
a prescribed time, then the engineer
may clear the f-emlses and adjacent
street of rubblsbf keep an expense ac
count of the cojt and upon reporting
the matter to th council, the council is
authorised to charge an assessment lien
against the property for the xpense."
