Kalamazoo Women Lead Civic Drive For Clean Town
The Kalamazoo Women’s Civic Improvement League mobilizes to clean pavements, curb chattel mortgage sharks, and aid poor families. They win alderman support for hand sweeping, start street beautification with 1100 junior members, offer prizes, and push anti-spitting laws while backing education and charity programs. They report 200 mortgages totaling 12500 dollars and plan legal action against six firms. A Montclair shift to mixed-gender civic efforts forms the Montclair Civic Association with 29 members named to lead.
