garbage. Each morning it is placed on the curb

At night the garbage must be collected by the
householder and removed to the back premises
again. This routine continues from day to dav
and the cutters and sidewalks Uttered with
filth. There is much complaint, but the evil can
not be remedied at present. The appropriation for
keeping the streets clean is exhausted, and the
Health Department, which has charge of the
street department. is powerless, not being author
lied to contract any Indebtedness. The inconveni-
ence, from necessity, will continue until the meet
ing of the Council, when appropriation can be
made. In the meantime housekeepers should
procure large vessels, so that the garbage may not
be scattered over the street. The carts can only
call once in seven or ten days for the purpose of
removing what garbage may accumulate.
