TEE GARBAGE COLLECTION.
One Of the Chains made BY the contractor
for the removal Of garbage in defense of his
inability TO get around oftener was that
the call Of his agents. The Commissioners
recently directed the health officer to
detail an inspector 70 follow one of the carts
and find out just how long the collectors were
Delayed Inspector Neale took the matter
In charge and reports today that he
| investigated i've squares from which an
average OF about two minutes was occupied in
The collection ct each place. Health officer
Hammet SAYS be he led BY these reports 10 the
opinion that the citizens respond to the calls
OF the COLLECTORS with reasonable promptness.
Appropos Of this investigation Commissions
Parker wrote the following letter 10 Presidents
| Ferguson OF the National Sanitary Company,
The National Sanitary Company having
frequently represented 20 the Commissioners
that owing to the long and unnecessary
delay In obtaining garbage from the various
houses their service vas more unsatisfactory
than IL would otherwise be. In other
words that II the garbage was always accessible
| to the garbage collector q much larger per-
centsge Of garbage could be collected by the
service. Approaching the importance Of
this and desiring to know the fscts,
| the Commissioners instructed the health officer
detail an inspector. whose duty IL should be 10
| accompany the garbage men and take the exact
time consumed in each house. inclose copy
Of letter from the health officer, dated June
8, 1888, based upon q report Of the inspector,
from which ii appears that an sv-
erage Of only two minutes IL consumed ct each
house in the collection referred to. This would
not seem TO be unreasonable and does not
justify the National Sanitary Company in its
| complaint
The Commissioners viii endeavor 10 executo
their part Of the garbage contract and will ex-
pect the same from the National Sanitary Com
pany."
