This Morning-The Market Garbag..

eCan nothing be done to compel the drivers
Of the sanitary wagons TO stop for garbsge7".
asks a resident of lie Droit Park who COM
planned TO the health Office today. last week
mine was neglected until the inspector en-
tered complaint and it removed on
Monday in a terrible state OF decomposition.
Wednesday the cart passed the door, but did
not stop, so Of course il will be a whole week
since the collectors has attempted to remove
the garbage. I see no excuse when he is passing
for not stopping"
The complaints this morning numbered
twenty-three in all. thirteen in the regular way,
four were received from the police and six
from the inspectors These were the CON-
plants received during the early morning
hours
in the garbage matter. aud yesterday they de-
termined to compel the wholesale
fruit dealers and others about the paket
10 haul their own garbage and in
carrying out this plan Food Inspectors Mothers-
head and Chase today served on the dealers
copies Of an amendment to the police resuls-
tions which reads as follows:
The Reguiatsop.
1T shall be unlawful for any person or per
sons to knowingly bring or cause to be broaght,
in the District OF Columbia any diseased or
decsyed meat. fish, vegetables or provisioas Of
any kind intended for food: that vben-
ever any meat. fish, vegetables or
provisions Of any kind intended for food shall
have been condemned by any food inspector in
the District of Columbia unwholesone or
unfit for food, il shall be she duty Of the person
or persons in whose possession, Gus
tody care the same shall be. TO forth
| with remove such condemned meat. hsh, veg
etsbles or food TO one Of the depots established
by the contractor for the collection Of gar
tage."
The new regulation was not well received By
the merchants and il is Said that some of them
will resist Its provisions and take the matter in
court.
The dealers are wondering how they are TO
be forced TO have the garbage removed when
| the contract for which the contrsctor
is regularly paid provides that he shall
''collect and remove all garbage. refuse ami
NAL and vegetable matter and condemned food
from dwelling houses. markets. hotels and all
other places in the cities of Washington and
Georgetown and their more densely populated
| suburbs"
Chief Clerk Tracy of the health department
said that the new regulation contemplated the
removal of the large quantities Of vegetable
matte- condemned by the inspectors in addition
TO the other refuse matter. the natural result Of
the business in which the men are engaged
Police inspection.
The Commissioners are determined 70 ferrel
out the matter of 90 many complaints and hnd
exactly where the fault reefs. They sent for
Maj. Moore and had consultation with him
about the matter and the result wss that
q garbage wagon detective corps
was established in each precinct. and yestefda,
the policemen, dressed in citizens clothes
followed the wagons through the city. 1bey
did the same thing today. IL was tn.
intention of the Commissioners and
Maj. Moore 10 keep this move seere
until the work was finished, but the secre
leaked out and the result that the gar
