Litter

There is a by-law, adopted by most County Councils in - England, which is not only " honoured in the breach but also unknown to most of those who disregard it, as to those who desire to see it regarded. The following is a quotation from the by-law :

" No person shall (A) place or deposit and leave on or in (a) any highway or roadside waste, (b) any common, village green, park, recreation ground: or other open space to which the public have access for the time being, or (c) any tidal or other water in or . abutting on any such highway, roadside waste, or other place aforementioned, any glass, china, earthenware, tin, carton, paper, or other refuse or litter, so as to affect, or tend to affect, injuriously the public amenities of such highway, roadside waste, common, village green, park, recreation ground, open space or water."
