temp0Te.
The chair then stated the object of the
meeting. He said that complaints OF the
negligence of the garbage contractors
were multiplying in oil parts of the city.

best to remedy the evil, but he cannot
keep up with the tricks of the garbage

of William Thompson, deceased.

Fourth District-Robert Mclntire.
The terms of their contracts require
| the removal Of garbage each day.
Col. Mccullough said that it was the
duty of the Ward Committees to attend
to those complaints, and it was then
fault that the nlIisanceS were continued.
They should notify the contractors to re:
move the garbage, and prosecute them il
they failed TO comply.
Dir. Draper thought likewise.
The chair stated that the complaints
were now general-coming from the en-
! tire city.
Col. Mccullough moved that all com
planning parties be requested to report
| the same TO the Committee of the Ward
in which they reside, and that said Com
mittee be instructed to proceed ut once
against the contractors in MI gases OF
failure to properly remove the garbage

of Il notice requesting the complainants
| to so report.

plants to the City Council. lie also said
that most Of the garbage carts were unfit
for service, and were constantly leaking

and favored some plan OF getting rid Oh
the nuisance without referring the com
plants to the Ward Committees.
