A old newspaper exhortation urges cleanliness to improve towns. It calls residents to repaint dingy storefronts repair worn awnings fix torn sidewalks and remove litter. The message emphasizes sprucing yards yardsides and alleys with simple tasks like whitening fences planting flowers and cleaning backyards.
Mississippi Federation of Women's Clubs and State Board of Health issue rules for the Cleanest Town contest running Feb 1 to May 6, 1916. Dr. Willis Walley urged mayors to enforce health standards and notify local businesses that violations will be prosecuted.
The town with top grade in each class receives cash prizes. The next two towns with high grades get certificates, and all towns scoring above 90 percent enter the honor roll. Past first prize winners can compete again but must meet former standards to keep honorary status. After score cards, the top towns are inspected by the chief sanitary examiner before prize awards. Entry fees collected will fund prize payments.
