About the Beautification Committee

To the person who wants to see a new effort to keep the city beautiful and clean, here's how it might start:


Sec. 3:2-1.    Beautification Committee, functions.


    (a)     Within the Department of Public Works there shall be established a Beautification Committee, the functions of which shall be:
        (1)     To render advice to the Mayor,  City Administrator, the Council, and Director of the Department of Public Works concerning the regulation, planting, care and control of shade and ornamental trees, shrubbery and other landscaping upon and in the streets, highways, public places, parks and parkways within the City;
        (2)     To recruit and direct organizational and individual interest in and support for the esthetic improvement of the City;
