from the garbage collector in relation to the
matter OF requiring housekeepers to place
the vessels containing garbage on the side
walk in front of their premises and asking
mat SUCH regulation be made, made a re-
port mat In the opinion Of the committee
Inc duties OF housekeepers regarding the dis
position of their garbage are sufficiently de-
nned ia existing regulations, which provide
mat "housekeepers shall put their garbage
IN vessels, the capacity OF which shall not
exceed enc buShel, and said vessels shall be
Iisced at point on the premises most acces-
slole 10 collectors; provided always that
wherever carriage alleys exist in rear O
dwellings said vessels shall be placed either
Oh or IN close proximity thereto" :
The committee are also OF opinion that this
regulation, II rigidly enforced, which IS here
by recommended, protects alike the inter-
esis OF the citizens and the contractors, and
Without passing upon the question OF au-
tbcrtty vested in The board, they believe
lbat further action is neither necessary nor
report was adopted.
