Other Important Matters
Passed Upon.


ity, and, though vast amount OF work
was laid before the board, not minute
of time was wasted. The most impor-
tant matter presented for consideration
was the report of the special conference
committee to whom had been referred
the matter of the collection of garbage.
The contract prepared by the city attOr-
ney and the health officer for the cOllec-
ton of garbage was read. 1t provides
that all garbage shall be collected be-
tween the hours of midnight and in
the morning daily in the following dis
tricts, including both sides of the street:
Commencing at foot of Broadway, thence
to Eighth street; thence to Wabasha; thence
10 Exchange; thence to West Ninth street;
thonce to Fort street; thence TO West Sew
enth street; thence to Chestnut street: thence
over and on West side, commencing at Da-
kota avenue at south end of Wabasha street
bridge; thence TO Indiana avenue; thence
east 10 South Robert and thence to river.
Outside of the above districts the
garbage is to be collected twice week.
The garbage is to be delivered to the
AZotine company at the following
points:
First corner Ross and Earl; second. corner
Lexington avenue, between Burgess and
and Anns polls streets; fourth, at works of
the Azoiine Manufacturing company, Fifth
ward.
The health officer is empowered to see
that the work Of collection and delivery
is carried out in sanitary manner, and
bills snail only be paid after he has
audited the account. In the event of
the health officer refusing to audit the
accounts on the ground that the work
has not been properly performed, the
matter shall be arbitrated upon by the
president of the assembly, the city at
tOrney and the health officer, whose de-
cisiOn shall be final.
SanbOrn's Objection.
Aid. Sanborn objected to the clause
which provided, that outside of GER
| tain district, garbage shOuld only be
collected twice week. In the ward ne
represented there were many hotels and
apartment houses. and large boarding
houses, such as the Albion, the Aber-
been, the st. George, ETC., and he GER
tainy thought that garbage should be
| collected daily from such buildings
| He also thought that in most private
houses i'll the city that garbage shOnld
| certainly be collected oftener than
twice a week. especially in the summer.
| Unless the specifications were so al
| tered he would oppose their adoption.
and would vote against the award of
| the contract.
On the motion of Aid. Gehan the
! specifications were referred back to
| the special committee for the purpose
! of embodying the views of Aid San
born, the same to be done by the city
attorney.
BY full vote the board allowed the
bill of the AZotine company for 81, $50
IA fx,,.

| for the same time, amounting to 1916,
also being allowed, the only negative
vote being that of President Cullen.

Officer Hoyt, being marked "Ap-

by the council for tearing down the

to the committee on streets. Attorney
PrOpping, Oh behalf of certain prOprie-
tors of intelligence bureau offices, sent
q letter to the council asking that the

council any power to fix any such

tracts made between Prendergast
Brothers and the city for placing hot

quarters were. on the advice of the city
