For A Cleaner, Cullman
By an official regulation, adopted and approved by the city officials, residents of Cullman are given legal protection against menace caused by domestic animals, or by trash, weeds, or other unwholesome things on vacant lots.
During two decades, strides have been made here in making Cullman a healthful community. With the sewerage system and the disposal plant and the municipal collection of garbage, there has been progress in sanitation.
This new regulation, about domestic animals and vacant lots, is another governmental supervision of living here. —As with many laws, this regulation has become necessary in the opinion of many citizens, because some of the residents allow their domestic animals to be a nuisance, while some of the owners of vacant lots neglect to keep their property clean.
Cullman is one big neighborhood of folk.—And that splendid admonition about “love thy neighbor as thyself”, should prompt the owners of domestic animals and vacant lots to cooperate with the municipal officials in making ours a cleaner city!
A New Product In Cullman
Another new product is being manufactured here.
With the installation of specially-designed machinery to remove the bark from the logs, chips are being processed from slabs at the C. Arnold and Son sawmill.
The specially-processed chips are transported from Cullman to Guntersville by truck. From Guntersville, the chips are shipped by river barge to a large paper-manufacturing plant in Calhoun, Tennessee.
This is another example of invention, investment and market in the local march of progress. Through inventive genius machinery was made to remove the bark from the log and process the slabs into chips. — Because there was a market for the wood chips, C. Arnold and Son invested in this special machinery. — And with invention, investment and market, many people are receiving employment at this large sawmill.
