ROAST THE GARBAGE.
The Council Committee Which
Investigated the Systems, Pre-
fers the Vienna Plan.


fers the Vienna Plan.
The special council committee on
garbage disposal, held meeting at the
council chamber yesterday afternoon,
to formulate an official report of their
recent Investigations in the East, which
will be presented at the next regular
meeting of the council. The opinions
expressed by the seven members of
the committee were unanimously III
favor of the MerZ process, known as
the Vienna system, which has been in
operation for Dearlya a year in Buffalo,
and was recently introduced in Chicago.
By this system the garbage is SUBJ
jected to great heat, draw
ing from the refuse matter all
gases and grease. The gases are
consumed by fire, the grease is run off
into vats and subsequently utilized in
the manufacture of soap and candles.
and the other part which remains be-
comes valuable fertilizer. All disease
germs are etfcctually killed by the pro-
cess. The committee will report the
system as the least offensive and far the
best Eow in use for the disposal of gar
bage. The process is such that the fur
naces and other apparatus may be
located within the city without becom-
ing nuisance. The system has been
in practical operation for so short
period that the committee is unable to
report as to its economical advantages.

Six Will Not Be Signed,

Gov. Merriam signed $50 senate and
house bills yesterday. There remain
several more bills requiring the sig
nature of the chief executive, and this
must be done to-day, the constitution
requiring that all bills must be signed
within two days from the adjournment
of the legislature. There are six unim-
portant bills which Gov. Merriam will
not sign, owing to the numerous
errors made by the enrolling
clerks. The enrolment of bills in
the death throes of the legislature
was conducted at express speed. and the
result is that glaring errors have crept
into many bills. These bills, in conse-
quence, become dead letter. There
is no department of legislative work,
Notwithstanding the fact that it is, per-
haps. of the greatest Importance, that is
performed in such happy-go-lucky
style as the enrolment of bills.

RIPLEY REPLIES.
The Duluth Grain Man Gives His
Opinion Of the Grain inspection
LAWS

Laws.
George Ripley, representing the Lake
Superior Elevator company, of Duluth,
has not very high appreciation of the
grain inspection laws of Minnesota. He
desired to ship to the East over mil
lion bushels of grain without inspection,
and asked permission from the railroad
and warehouse commission. The per-
init was refused. Mr.. Ripley yester-
day replied:
| regret that your board cannot see this
matter as do. Your letter seems to imply
that my request was that this corn should be
exempt from inspection and weighing. This
was not the case. l was only trying to avoid
the large, and to me useless, expense of the
same. ] desire 10 thank the board for its
suggestion as to reinspeetion of the cargoes.
but regret that this Will be of no value, as
stated before that a Minnesota corn certifi-
cate being unknown carries with il no weight
in Eastern markets.
There is considerable amount of JUS
tice in Mr.. Ripley's request, if no law.
He is called upon to pay an inspection
fee of 1000, for which he receives a
certificate of no value to him whatever.

Randall Has the Call.

The capitol officials jocosely remark
that whenever Hon. j. j. Randall, of
Winona. visits the city, there is certain
to appear in morning contemporary
paragraph that the railroad commission
ers will forthwith appoint him successor
to Capt. James, the chief grain in
spector. 1t was said the appointment
was to be made yesterday. but the COM
missioners expressed themselves totally
ignorant of any such action. Il do
not know" remarked Commissioner
Gibbs, ''when the appointment will be
made. 1t may not be until August"
Capt. James will not complete his term
until the 2Sth inst. There is little
doubt that when the appointment is
made. as was stated in the GLOBE
several months ago, that Mr.. Randall
will get the position. He is favored by
Gov. Merriam, and when the governor
desires anything to be done, why it is
done.
