The public health nurse has reported an increasing number of hepatitis cases. It is believed that the germ comes from waste material. For this reason alone everyone should make ah extra effort to clean corrals, haul away and keep hauled away all animal waste, Mr. Wilson says. Property value is increased as corrals and old buildings are decreased. "Let's everyone take a good, long, thoughtful look at our yards. Can that old building be done away with? Can I get along without the corral in the city? Could I keep that yard cleaned up better? If the answer is yes, then during the week of May 7 through 12 let's really clean Lehi up and down," says Mr. Wilson. According to Mr. Wilson, if you need help in moving or tearing down an old building or other mess, call the city office. The clubs of the city will be assisting in the cleanup campaign and will provide the needed help. All who an take care of their own cleanup and hauling are requested to do so. This will ease the burden on the volunteer labor and give them more time to help those who really need it, Mr. Wilson said.
