THE WOMEN OBJECT
Petition Presented to Mayor Gourley-
The Baltimore System Declared to Be

To the Ordinance for Garbage Floats-A
The Baltimore System Declared to Be
the Best
Mayor Gourley yesterday received pc
tition from the Women's Health Protective
Association urging him to veto the garbage
dumpboat ordinance and to call upon Coun.
ellis to adopt the same system of handling
garbage that is In vogue in Baltimore.
Pittsburgh is stated is the only large city in
the country that has no system for the daily
removal of garbage and ashes, and in mum.
Der of the cities the street cleaning depart
ment does the work, removing the refuse
from houses every morning.
The communication calls attention to the
menace to the health of the city resulting from
its present unsanitary condition, and states
that when the ladies of the association de-
manded of certain city officials that gar
bage removal system be adopted, they were
met with the argument that it would cost
too much and would increase taxation. This
argument they think is easily confuted by
the simple fact that several cities with
lower tax rate than this city have a COM
plete garbage system.
No description of the Baltimore system is
given, but it is referred to as the best in the
country, and references are given so that it
can be ascertained. The Mayor is further
requested to have passed a sanitary law re-
lating to the conveyance Of manure In the
city. In other cities it must be haled be-
fore removal, but here it is hauled, loosely
thrown into open wagons, through the
streets to an open boat on the Allegheny
wharf, where it lies for DAYS, breeding dis
ease and sending forth noxious odors to the
danger and discomfort of the dwellers in
the lower part of the city. Attention is
also called to an open garbage boat on the
same wharf, which Chief Brown was petit
toned to have removed several weeks ago,
but has failed to notice.
The objection to the ordinance now In
Councils is the same as against the manure
and garbage boats on the wharf. If there
were q dozen or more of such boats all about
the city, as the ordinance provides, the
ladies ask, what will be the effect?
