Tn. Pending Nicht-soiI Ordinance.

10 Us EdaOr Of the ReqiSier:
Sm-The ordinance providing FOR cheaper
service in the removal of night-soil and
other unwholesome substances, which has
hung fire so long in the committee room OF
the Council Committee on Health will
come up before Council this evening for
final disposition. | want TO say that there
is more trouble with this than any other
branch of the sanitary service of this city,
except the old garbage system. Peo-
ple. who as a rule, are prompt to act in com
pliance with any other order served upon
them by the Health Officer, will evade the
duty of causing the excavation of cess
pools or, will delay as long as possible, and
i'm many instances remove only part and
leave the rest to tester and corrupt the
atmosphere.
The causes of this reluctance upon the
part of property owners and the people
generally. are two fold: they do not under
stand the dangers attending the presence
of vast quantities Of such unwholes0me
substances, and the cost is so Outrageously
unjust, in many instances exceeding that
paid in other cities. twice or three times,
and in one instance TO four times the
amount.
The present ordinance governing the re-
moval of night soil provides that the cost
shall not be greater than seventy-tive cents
per barrel OF forty gallons removed. The
ordinance asked for, and which the people
demand. would provide for letting the re
moval TO the lowest and best bidder for
such work. and require the giving of bond
for the faithful performance of his con-
tract in all particulars. The passage Of the
ordinance would reduce the cost at least
5000 per annum. II has been said by
some who opposed the passage of the ordi-
nance that it was opposed TO the interests
of the poorer class OF night-soil haulers
who could not afford 10 secure the requisite
number Of teams and improved apparatus,
nor had the necessary intelligence to
operate them to advantage; but who have
grown up in the business. and have been
accustomed to do the work in the slovenly
and unsanitary mode at present in vogue.
Ii would be cheaper TO pension these
five or six poor night-soil haulers and let
the work To some one who would do 1t in a
cleanlv and sanitary way, and at much
less cost. In other cities where the com
petitive system has been adopted, the cost
has been reduced very greatly.
In conclusion. | submit for public con
sideration that it would be wise TO adopt
the ordinance. as it will benefit thousands
who are required to have such work done
annually and the aggregate saving would be
represented by s5,OO0 to s., s7,OOOannually

ANOTHER PROPOSITION
Received by the Builders Exchange From
the Stonemasons and Bricklayers.

At the Joint meeting of the bricklayers
and stonemasOns, held at Bricklayers Hall
on Market street, Saturday evening, 1t
will be remembered, the following resolu-
ton adopted by the Builders Exchange
was unanimously rejected:
ResOlred, That we recommend that the
bricklayers and stOnemasons go 10 work
for members of this Exchange and that
the members of this Exchange will not OBJ
ject TO any of their employees voluntarily
Joining the unions; and the said brick
layers and stonemasons TO work with non
union men except in their own trade.
The reasons for rejecting this, it was
stated, was because the joint assembly
thought it would be the death knell OF all
other trades unions connected with the
Building Trades Council and harbinger
Of the destruction of their own organization
in this city, so committee was appointed
to draw up an agreement more in conform
ity with the views of those present
This committee, it is understood, com
pleted its work and at a meeting OF the two
unions held Saturday night, the report OF
the committee was approved and the Sec
rotary ordered to forward copy TO the
Secretary Of the Builders Exchange.
The report was duly received by Secre-
tery Giesey, of the Exchange, yesterday.
The resolution is virtually the same as
presented by the Exchange added TO which
Is the provisO that the agreement includes
all the building trades affiliated with the
Building Trades Council.
II is understood the Exchange members
will he consulted on the matter, as TO
whether it is advisable to call a meeting TO
take action on this communication. a
member of the Exchange said last evening
that they were proceeding on the under
standing that they were dealing exclusively
with the bricklayers and stonemasons, and
not with any Of the other trades, He was
doubtful as to how the Exchange would
look upon the present proposition.
