The company proposes to attach to all the
public buildings Of the city, dry earth
closets, which will be SO arranged as to
cause all feoal and other deposits to be in
stantly deOdOrized and disipfected. The de-
pOsits are to be removed at regular inter-
walls, without causing the least offensive
odor. They are to be kept in repair by the
company. In carrying out a contract that
may be made, the expense to the city for the
first year will be:
For 100 earth closets. 500
Attention to closets. ................. 5000
After the first year the expense will be
but $4,000, which is less than under the old
system.

contract with the Sanitary and Fertilizing
Company, for removal of excretia, but
having failed to provide itself with the
necessary earth closets, the proper results
of the system have not been realized.
