less than they have been any year pre-
sioas. said NJ. AdzsT, owing 20 the fac,
that many docks are now used for other
purposes. There will BE- greater need

great amount OF building projected. and h
he'd been informed that st would be OUT OF

Der OF brick required Al the whKryes now
available for the purpose. Some had sug.
gested that the preseat facilities be IN

immediate action. ~ many contractors are
waiting TO see II tiseY can zst brick here

TnE DISPOSAL or CARNAGE.
Councilman Durse called the attention Of
the Coancli to the necessity OF providing
for some disposition Of the garbage and
refuse III the city. Heretofore there had
been nothing but nIakeshifts. but snow TIT.
time had come 10 settle the matter by max
Ing sotse iual disposition. There are only
two feasible plans Of disposiux of garbage:
One by burning or ereinsting refuse aud
the other 90 carry IL by scswn built for the
purpose 20 the Middle of the sound aud
deposit IL there. He did not think that
burning was called for and therefore
favored the sifnpler plan of dspositins ali
garbage In she sound.
Councilman Green said that at present
there was 10 place In the city where gar
bage could be dumped. II he ordered IL
dumped on Commercial street extension

ordered dumped Al any other place there
was an equally strung objection. lie con

plan would be To deposit ashes ard refuse
OF that nature on the flats and thereby
help 10 make land. kishtesOil aud other
refuse could be taken ous on long Wharses
