Bonds <br /> Chairman <br /> Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br /> Route 1, Box 185-A <br /> Concord, North Carolina 28025 <br /> <br /> Dear Mr. Chairman: <br /> <br /> I am pleased to advise you that we will again set aside two weeks <br /> f~ring 19~1 ~or.a ~t,at~wide-¥on~e~tr'~ed~ip~k.Up.-ti~te'r effo~t~ <br /> These weeks ~eszgnated as "Clean Up .Litter', week~ wi~'ba ~ <br /> April 13-18 and September 14-18, 1981. <br /> <br /> Please note that we will extend the snrlng campaign through <br /> Saturday to accommodate participation-by various youth groups <br /> across the State. The Governor's Office of Youth Involvement has <br /> offered to coordinate participation by youth groups under adult <br /> supervision in our campaign. This will give us agood opportunity <br /> to educate our young people and focus their attention on littering <br /> which costs our State approximately $2.2 million each year. <br /> <br /> In view of declining revenues for our highway program, this new <br /> cooperative program will allow us to provide a higher level of <br /> service than would be feasible without substantially Increasing <br /> our Department's annual cost for litter control. The results <br /> from our~ last effort, September 8-12, ~980, gave an indication <br /> the program was effective in that more miles of roadsides were <br /> cleaned than in previous effort~ and less litter was found. <br /> <br /> -Let'meask~-~at'you-solici~ part~d~P~ti0~ibf-y~urlocal civic~ <br /> c!ubs '~Zo~z~ti~hs[~ this cooperative ~ffort to '~!ean' ~ <br /> our roadsides in North Carolina. <br /> <br /> <br />
