PARKS AND OPEN SPACES 139 



BEVERLY S. SHEFFIELD. My suggestion and recommendation is 

 that we search out a way to eliminate throwaway beer cans and 

 bottles. These throwaway containers depreciate and mar the beauty 

 of our parks and road rights-of-way. In many instances they are 

 thrown on private property. They not only create a litter problem, 

 but the broken glass bottles forever present a hazard. Often these 

 bottles are broken at swimming pools, picnic areas, and along streams. 



I suggest that the beer distributors be approached on putting their 

 merchandise in containers that require a deposit such as the old 

 glass beer bottle. I also suggest that the manufacturers be asked 

 to come up with a product that would soon disintegrate when left 

 in the elements.
