The accumulation of garbage on the
lots all through the city, renders SANTA
ry inspection mere farce, yet, no doubt
the inspectors are drawing their salaries
Just as though they were performing
their duties.
Keep up with the procession by read
ing the LIGHT.
Nearly two months have elapsed since
the city ceased hauling off the trash and
garbage from the residences and business
houses, and the people have no means of
disposing of them on their lots.
Keep your eye on the ring. They are
getting up little side schemes now TO fool
the people.
1t is impossible for the citizens to hire
the trash and garbage to be hauled off of
their premises, on account of the failure
OF the city to provide place for dumping
them.
. L. P. Peck's new front is looming up
prettier every day.
Even when the trash carts went around
daily, twas difficult to keep the city in a
Clearly condition, in consequence of the
careleSSnesS of many persons about raking
and sweeping the trash and garbage to.

Never give up good fight. An honor.

officer Bennett deserves promotion.
City Wefgher would be a pretty good Job
But since the city ceased to haul off any
trash etc, many persons have ceased to
pay any attention to their lots in conse-
qnence of not being able to dispose of
trash, vegetables, refuse and the leavingS
from the kitchen and the ia ole.
What has become of the garbage fund?
Don't let everybody answer at once.
The natural result is that the city will
be chOckful of the germs of disease. De-
caying vegabIes and putrescent meat form
hot bed for disease.
Sanitary inspectors are supposed to
work harder about election times
Typhoid fever originates from Just
such causes, and there are few greater
scourgeS to which man is exposed
Was the garbage fund spent on fur
niShng the New City Hall?
Should cholera break out in the
United States the coming spring and
summer, San AntoniOS want of cleanIi-
ness will invite and welcome it
The old town stinks and where, oh,
where, is the garbage fund?
There will be a big show at the Wash
ington tonight,
Were the city authorities paralyzed by
the situations. or were they inert from |
pique and resentment on account of the |
injunction?
See the 'coonS" dance at the Bella |
Union tonight. Where, oh where, is the |
garbage fund.
Two months have gone bv without any
provisions being made for diSpoSing OF |
trash and garbage, and citizens have not !
been able in many instances to consume !
it by fire without endangering their |
houses.
The filth is pilng up. Where is the |
$4,000 voted to buy garbage furnaces.
The city authorities are wholly to |
blame for the present condition of things. |
When they were enjoined from dump
ing garbage on the grounCS chosen for |
that purpose, they stopped the garbage |
carts and notified the citizens 10 do the |
best they could in dspoIng of the trash |
and gal bage on their premises.
The city failed to provide a new dump |
ing ground, or 10 provide any means for |
of garbage.
