A Card From DIR. Garrison

70 ne Editor OF the Reqister:
Sm:-Referring to the lmputation made
against me, on the floor Of Council, last
evening. by President Cruise, in which he
virtually charged that was personally and
improperly interested in the passage of the
pending night-soil ordinance, ] desire TO
hurl black his charge of dishonesty and
10 say. in doing so, that Mr.. Cruise seems
TO be personally interested in the night
soil haulers, at present doing the work, TO
the detriment Of the public at large, who
are called upon to pay the bills
to them. Three Of the men IN
whom Mr. Cruise is so much inter
ested. have recently been before the
Police Court for the violation Of the city's
ordinances. and one is now under bond for his
appearance before the grand jury on the
charge OF swindling citizen. The ordi-
nance presented and which was defeated
through Mr.. Gruse's efforts, would have
saved to the people Of this city thousands
Of dollars annually. ] reiterate that the
cost Of removal under the present ordi-
nance is largely in excess Of the charges
permitted in other cities. The proposed
ordinance would give every man IN the
business a fair and equal chance. The
method proposed Is similar to that in oper-
alton in other cities all over this country
| favored that ordinance ana 90 now ne
cause it would best subserve the interests
of the people. It provides for giving
the work to the lowest bidder, while
then ordinance now in force per
mits the licensing Of dishonest persons,
and permits them TO charge - cents for
every barrel Of night soil removed, when
the price ranges elsewhere from l1c to soc
per barrel of same size. | affirm that Mr..
Cruise, in opposing that ordinance, betray-
ed the trust reposed in him by his constit-
uents. | submit for the consideration Of
the people. whether Mr.. Cruise or | best
subservcd their interests.
In regard TO the charge made by Mir.
Cruise that ] refused TO give a permit to
remove the contents of a privy vault, when
the application was made in proper FORM
/ have to say that neither in that
case nor in any other have | refused
to grant permit for such work when ap-
plcation therefor was made in the form
provided for by the ordinance governing
such work and the rules Of my office, and
defy him to prove the contrary by any
reputable citizen.
