The situation just the Same Last Year
Additional Teams Ordered.
The garbage situation today is identical with
that of last year" said Health Officer Hammett
to a reporter of The STAR this morning. II
have ordered the contractor TO put on forty ad-
ditional teams tomorrow and that may do some
good. The credit belongs to THE STAR, for the
publication in your paper inviting complaints
brought il hundreds. The telephone rang it
self hoarse and the postman sweltered under
his heavy burden of complaints. The Longer. I
stay here the more thoroughly i am con-
WINGED that the garbage Of Washington
cannot be properly removed for loss than
s40, 600 annually. We shall do everything in
our power TO remedy complaints. but the under
taking is q big one and there must necessarily
be some delays. But. as / said before, the serv-
Ice Is inadequate. With an appropriation of
$40 900 there would be few complaints. To
give YOU an Illustration 1 paid 81 myself this
morning to a oolored man TO remove dead dog

In Behalf Of Neglected Babes.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star;
Public attention ought to be called to the
cruel exposure of infants to the hot sunlight,
as practiced by some nurses and parents. This
morning quite young infant was found out
side an eating house, while its mother or nurse
was taking breakfast, between 9 and 10 o'clock.
stranger passing held over the suffering babe
an umbrella and famed it until compelled to
leave, and then sought the service of a colored
woman until the mothers breakfast was over.
Infants are not infrequently left outside stores
In the sun, while the attendant performs some
act Of shopping and in several instances, as
personally know, passing relief to the unhappy
babe has been met with q savage reproof from
the party in charge. II q merciful Providence
does not interfere, the neglect and indifference
Of some of these Observation-Disclosures mothers
or nurses-will result In so-called mysterious
deaths" SRM.

Cruelty to Clerks.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
II seems to me it borders close to cruelty to
animals, which, believe, is a violation Of law
in this District, to force the clerks in the gov
eminent service to work during heated spell
like the present in rooms where the mercury
registers anywhere from so to 100 as they
might be expected to work when the atmos-
pheric conditions are normal. And yet this
very thing is being done in some departments.
