THE GARBAGE SERVICE DISPUTE.
Healtn Olncer IoWnShendye yesterday addressed
a letter to the District Commissioners, stating
that on the 18th instant finding that complaints
OF neglect on the part OF the collectors OF garb-
age were becoming more frequent, and recog-
upon the season when large influx of melons,
green corn, &C., would greatly increase the
amount OF the garbage to be removed, he In
Structed Sanitary Inspector Robinson to devote
n NAL Y
thorough investigation into the manner in
which the service was being performed, and to
make report thereon, giving a plain state
ment OF facts in the case. He states that he
did this in order that he might know to what
extent extra service for The Increasing accu-
mutation would be required; that the. cause OF
De ascertained, and that he might be
able to act intelligently 10 remedying detects,
II found to exist On the 18th inst. Mr.. Robin
son made his report, a very thorough one, show
ing that he had fully canvassed the two cities.
From this report it was learned that only nine
wagons were employed; that seven Of the nine
had only one man to accompany each. ard car
RED only five barrels; that Certain sections OF
The city were entirely neglected.; tlat in Others
Collec.lons were being made 1rregularly, and
that there was necessity for an immediate in
crease In the service. The report showed plainly
that the contract was far from beiIs COMPLIED
with, and would have fully Justified him {Ghe
Health Of1cer) In reporting that fact to the
Commissioners. Thinking. however. that the
made known TO him, might go to work to rem
edy defects and increase his service as required,
he addressed lin polite letter, calling aGtel-
ton to neglect OF certain sections, and request
Ing that few additional wagons be pur on:
ending his letter with the statement that un-
less Improvement was made. he would
not feel Justified in certifying to the
fact that service had been duly rendered.
This letter was handed the agent In the health
Office on the 2Gth, and On The ed In reply
thereto there was received q lengthy document,
incorporate and unreasonable throughout;
nlled with vituperatiOn and abuse, from begin
ming to end, and denying, in the most insulting
terms, every statement regarding the service
made In bis the health Ofticer's) letter. So far
as the personalities and silly assertions are con-
cerned he cared nothing. but as ft shows plain
~ that the parties concerned consider that the
service Is low being properly performed, and
that nothing more should be required OF them,
and as ne the health ofIicer) Is OF quite an op-
pOsite opinion, knowing that the garbage is MT
with contract, he would request that some ac-
ton be taken 10 protect the community aad re
lleye the health department from the reSDg 81
billy for the contractors neglect. the report
OF Inspector Robinson is inclOsed with this let.
ter. The District commissioners have IS vet
taken 10 action.
The commissioners have addressed a nlte TO
Mr.. +. Carter, stating that from information re-
celVed by them they are OF the opinion That the
equipments OF the garbage service are insult
nclent 10 It's proper execution, and that he mast
come up 20 the terms or his contract.
