To The Editor Of The Commercial:
Have we not in this city contractor for the
removal of garbage from the premises OF house
keepers Is there not annually sum paid
from the City Treasury for that purpose II 80,
when, where, and by whom is the service per-
formed We have been housekeeper now for
over twenty years, and never once within that
time have we had call from the City Garbage
Collie ;tor, for our garbage, or had an opportuni
ty, to our knowledge, of having him take it
from our premises. Notwithstanding the disposal
OF it has always been, and is now, a source of
perplexity to us and the domestic department.
And we do not stand alone in this perplexity
We know numerous families in like case. Why
should this be 30 ? II there be person paid
for this service out Of the City Treasury he
should perform the service, or the office should
be abolished We call upon our City Fathers
for reform in this particular, and that this de-
partment of the city economy be put under such
regulations as that housekeepers and taxpayers
may be enabled to avail themselves Of it,

[From the Phiada. Press, to-dayl
The Wilmington Erery Euening, in a severe
editorial, lashes an unfortunate inhabitant of
that pleasant little town, who "has painted the
avenue end of his house brown, and intends to
let out space on it to 'enterprising' advertisers
who think it will benefit their business to join
in such an outrage on good taste" Now, really,
not be allowed to turn an honest penny by
painting the avenue end Of his house brown, or
green, or even yellow, and leasing advertising
spaces on the same to anybody" "enterprisng'
or otherwise-who can be found ready to pay
for them, and we think our hot-headed little
contemporary has grown unduy excited about
a very small matter.
