contractors, and il they are convicted this
morning, they forfeit their contracts under
the ordinance, and the city will be again
without any service whatever in this line,
AZ the contractor convicted yesterday morn
ing is alleged to be doing work in two dis
tricts.
Yesterday Prosecuting Attorney Howard
served notice upon Health Officer Garrison
that the county authorities would not allow
garbage to be hauled to the country, and
that other disposition must be made of 1t
by the city. Attention has been also called
10 the fact that refuse OF various sorts Is
being thrown into Wheeling creek, con-
trary 20 the State law.
The whole matter seems to be in very
unsatisfactory shape, and he committee
will have to take some action calculated to
afford relief.
Ii was stated yesterday that some men,
bers OF Council haO privately requested
that the contractor who was fined IN Police
Court be permitted TO continue on at work,

such an arrangement, aod 81 far "a could
