7 THE JEWISH CHRONICLE POLITICAL Organization of Jewish Y oung Men Responsible for City Clean-Up Campaign DETROIT'S CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. Citizens of Detroit and Wayne county are rallying to the support of Frank II. Leland, of Detroit, for the republican nomination for governor of \l ichigan. It is antici- pated that there w ill be more than 80,000 votes cast in the republican primary for Wayne county On Au- gust 29, and it is anticipated that Yr. Leland will have a majority of at least 30,000 out of. this number. Decision of City Government to Thoroughly Clean-Up Detroit's East Side Is Direct Outgrowth of Plans of Montefiore Club Some months ago the NIontetiore Club of this city, an organization of young Jewish men, having awak- ened to a realization of the lack of sanitation in Detroit's ghetto, launched a campaign having as its aim the education of the residents of the district to the dangers inhe- rent in uncleanliness. An organi- zation of 500 Jewish business men • of the district was formed, which pledged itself to the work of clean- ing up Detroit's East Side. The city authorities, when they learned of the situation, gladly of- fered their co-operation in the movement, and as a result the three most important departments of De- troit's city government are now to unite in an endeavor to make the district the cleanest, most healthful and sanitary possible. That section of the city will ill fact become a veritable laboratory, where many new sanitation plans are to receive their first practical application and trial. Says It Is a Hobby. The plan of a special clean-up FRANK B. LELAND Frank II. Leland's services 'as member of the Board of Regents of the l'iliversity of NI ichigan, espe- cially in his capacity as chairman of the Finance Committee, has saved tens of thousands of dollars to the tax payers of NI ichigan. NIr. Leland was born on a farm in Oakland county, where he walked seven miles daily to the village and high schools in order to prepare himself for a college education. I le has felt the pinch of poverty, hav- ing been obliged to earn his own living and pay all his own expenSes in the University of NI ichigan, where he completed the literary and law courses. Ile later practiced law in Flint and Detroit, finally drifting into corporation work and organizing the United Savings Bank of Detroit, a successful bank- ing institution, of which he has been the only president. Frank it Leland has been suc- cessively a farmer, lawyer, banker and business man, and has never been identified in any way with the automobile industry. It behooves every Detroit voter to cast his bal- lot for Frank B. Leland for the re- publican nomination for governor. on August 29. was first the idea of Mayor Marx. The plan was presented to the heads of the three departments concerned at a meeting in his office. The work has received his encouragement and interest from the time the first move was made. "This is becom- ing a hobby of mine," says the mayor. "I am making visits to this place out on the east side every few days and am determined that it shall bear ripe fruit." George II. Fenkell, commissioner of public works, said of the labora- tory : "That is something I have wanted for a long time. What I will do first will be to show the health de- partment and police department just where I can use their help and will ask where they want me to act. this department and the house- holder. They complain about lack of courtesy on the part of the gar- bage collector. Perhaps the men are disagreeable at times, but I wager it is usually because the housewife has dumped her refuse loose in the alley, or mixed papers, rubbish and garbage together. In these cases the police or board of health inspectors, being more ac- quainted with affairs, can take up the matter of such disputes and place the blame where it belongs." Dr. William II. Price, health officer, has long used the intensive "block system" in his work. When he wishes to obtain a basis for some new work his plans are first tried out in a small district. What he wishes to especially apply ill this case is his new housing code passed by the board of health. It is not yet in operation, being ill the .hands of the corporation counsel's office for approval as to legality. Favors Old Squad. Dr, Price is in favor of the old sanitary police squad. Ile says that theoretically each patrolman should look after sanitary conditions in his beat as he does other conditions. It tut he believes experience in De- troit has not shown that the regu- lar patrolmen are active in sanita- tion matters. The sanitary squad was abol- ished last year and its duties given to the patrolman on the beat. Lent D. Upson, at the head of the municipal research bureau, which is making a study of different city de- partments with a view of aiding in establishing efficiency methods and making suggestions, is urging ac- tion on the laboratory plan. He believes that the plan is feasible and will produce scientific informa- tion on which to work in adminis- tering a part of the city's affairs. He would be much interested to Co-operation Needed. see as one experiment patrolmen "We need co-operation between assigned to the district and kept there until they became acquainted With all the residents in a personal way. The real policeman, he says, is one who can pleasantly tell you over the back yard fence if some- thing is wrong. A MODEL STORE. Fairly well-kept paint stores are numerous. The average success- ful business man has a pretty good sense of order and neatness, for it is so much easier to do business in a businesslike way. But just now and then we come across a store were order, neatness, light, safety and quick and efficient service have all been made a matter of long and careful study and a plan worked out that tits in with a Ns, el I -de v e l- oped system. Such a store is the warehouse and salesroom of the American Paint and (;lass (.'o. of Detroit, in their new warehouse and salesroom, 1'9-131 Fort Street West. The showrooms and stock rooms are compact and perfectly systema- tized. The large stock which a big and growing business has made necessary is arranged with a scru- pulous care and neatness which in- sures prompt and efficient shipping service. The American Paint & Glass Company sells the renowned Nlasury paints. As a result of an open competi- tive examination held by Congress- man Siegel, there was admitted to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis this week, Harry Marienhoff of 22 East 120th street and Philip Lemler of 59 East 106 street. It may be of some interest to know that this is the only Con- gressional district in the country having at Annapolis two young men of the , Jewish faith.
