Club Urges Cleaning of Streets
October 13, 1943
The Susanville Exchange Club has adopted a resolution demanding that the city take immediate steps to clean up the city streets.
The resolution, which invites cooperation from the Monticola, Rotary and 20-30 Clubs and other civic minded groups, states:
“The Exchange Club of Susanville goes on record as protesting the insanitary and unsightly condition of the main business streets of the City of Susanville and particularly the gutters thereof, and asks the city council to take immediate steps to clean up and keep clean said streets.“
City Attorney James A. Nutting declared the city council recognizes the fact the streets and gutters should be cleaned now before falling leaves and sands from fall rains block culverts. The street and fire departments have been given the go ahead signal to clean Main Street gutters by using fore equipment, and indications are that the work will be done this week.
