City’s Trash Department Reflects Rapid Growth

While speaking of the abnormal demand for municipal services here due to the rapidly increasing population within recent months because of war industries and mil- itary establishments, City Manager James G. Wallace pointed out the services being rendered by the city’s trash department and the change the city dump is under- going.

“The City of Wilmington, like several other cities, has been feeling the effects of the national war program during the past many months,” Mr. Wallace explained. “Its population since the winter of 1941 has doubled at least once, and undoubtedly further will be in-

creased greatly before many more months roll by, due to the war industries and military establish- ments within our nearest borders.

“This has established an abnor- mal demand for municipal serv-

ices, resulting in a rapid expan- sion of municipal services to strive to handle the ever-incessantly in- creasing loads placed upon these departments and with no increased total cost, combined with difficulty in securing materials and repair parts needed for the maintaining

Aged Negress Volunteers For Defense Work Here “I can cook. In fact I helped

cook President Taft’s dinner when he was here in 1909, and I want to do something to help win this war.”

These were the words of a

73-year-old colored woman, Maggie Johnson, when she ap- peared at the civilian defense volunteer registration office Tuesday.

‘‘I figure my husband (he’s 65) will go to war this month, and I want to do something. Won’t have anything to do after he's gone,” she said.

Mrs. J. B. Sidbury, represen- tative from the Red Cross, promptly signed her up.

The elderly woman checked her vision as being good, not color blind, hearing good, and physical condition generally good. She described her educa- tion as completion of grammar school and two years of high school.

She signed for emergency food service in the canteen work.

Maggie named seven or eight Wilmington families for whom she has cooked. She told the registrars she still cooks for “folks now and then” and makes “mighty fine” biscuits.

Entering the office at the same time as the colored wom- an were two Castle Hayne boys who declared they had bicycles and wanted to be messengers. They were Charles Corbett, aged 11, and Cecil Corbett, aged 13. Officials are in a quandary

r, about listing them as messen- gers, because the age limit for this work is 15 years. The registrars enrolled them, how- ever.

New Onslow Residents Are Urged To Register

JACKSONVILLE, Apr. 22 — All persons who have moved to Jack- sonville since the last election were urged to register in order to be able to vote in the May 30 pri- mary by Guy Lockamy, registrar for Jacksonville precinct.

Mr. Lockamy will be at the courthouse here each Saturday from May 2 through May 16. As a special favor to the hundreds of newcomers here, he may be reach- ed through the tax collects of- fice each day of the week trough the registration period.

of these municipal services. “Few people realize the tremen-

dous amount of materials now be ing handled daily by the city’s trash department and the removal of trash and rubbish from the city streets. To help expedite this im- portant service, last September three new trucks were added to the city’s fleet of trucks hauling trash to the city dump. This sec- tion of the Public Works operates, today, 14 trucks daily just to pick up trash, with a personnel of 56 people. By trash is meant ol d papers, magazines, tin cans, and general household rubbish.

“The city dump, located on South Front street, during the past few months is undergoing a com-

plete change. South Front street recently built from near Meares street to the city line by the City’s Highway department, t h ereby opening up another much-needed approach to the shipyard, has be- come very quickly a heavily travelled artery to and from that section.

“By widening the shoulders on each side of South Front street, where it runs alongside the dump —moving the ditch over several feet towards the river—smoothing down the dump itself—hauling in fill to level the dump off—t his section is now fast assuming a

very much improved appearance. This work is being done with three objects in view: first, to develop a sanitary fill dump; second, to make a more beautiful entrance to the city; and third, to so build up this dump area or waste land, that in time it can be incorporated into the Greenfield Park area as

part of that park, thereby adding to the charm of that beauty spot.”

According to Frank G. Harriss, chairman of the board, the repre sentives met at the invitation of the board in order to give the realtors an opportunity to familiarize them- selves with the regulations of the price control act which apply to

rents in defense areas. “We went over the situation here

with them and they seemed pleas- ed with the work that has been ac-

complished,” Mr. Harriss said. Present for the conference were

Frank C. Rawls, senior field repre- sentative of the OPA, Kenneth A. Campbell, regional rent attorney, and Preston B. Daley, field repre- sentative.

Neither of them had any com- ment to make on Wednesday’s con-

ference. Wilmington was one of 20 U. S

defense centers in which the rents

currently in existence were order- ed to be reduced to the April 1, 1941, level by Price Administrator Leon Henderson or March 3.

The 20 cities were given 60 days to bring the rents down to the standard recommended by the ad- ministrator or the government would step in and impose federal regula- tions, which provide fines and pri- son sentences for rent-ceiling viola- tors.

In a statement condemning “rent- gouging” and “profiteering”, issued at the time of the order, Henderson declared that he would “strike hard and rapidly to correct the rent sit- uation.”

The Real Estate board is now

collecting data to present to the Of- fice of Price administration to 'de- pict the situation here on house, apartment and room rents.
