ARGUMENT FOR PROPOSITION "L"
This measure would prevent the distribution of throwaways
and all other unrequested printed or written matter to any premises
if the occupant has notified the City Clerk in writing that such
matter is not wanted.
Throwaways can create litter and can signal the absence of the
occupant from the premises.
Each occupant should have an option to receive or to refuse
such material. This measure provides a convenient method to
express a choice.
A "YES" vote is urged by the Arcadia City Council on
Proposition "L". .
