SummaryTen men, most in suits, two in uniforms, standing on sidewalk next to garbage trucks piled high with refuse. Caption: "Just a few odds and ends that careless residents through Brownsville, New Lots, Rugby, Flatlands and Flatbush left lying around in lots. Broken bedsprings, leaky oil drums, parts of automobiles were included in the rubbish which 200 Department of Health and Department of Sanitation employees gathered up by means of 25 D. of S. heavy duty trucks which started out yesterday on a cleanup drive under the direction of Dr. John Oberwager, director of the Sanitary Bureau of the Health Department. Dr. Oberwager is pointing at the junk piled on one of the trucks at E. 92nd St. and Flatlands Ave."
