MIR. ReardOn introduced a resolution
directing the committee on streets to
investigate and report as TO the custom
and method of procedure of the health
department in compelling the cleaning
of vaults, collecting payment for the
same and other sanitary work OF the
city.
Mr.. ReardOn said all the health de-
pariment was doing was looking after
the interests of the st. Paul Sanitation
company. When the matter came up
before the committee on streets for n-
veStigatiOn he was certain he could
prove his assertions.
'Ehe Reason for 1t
The resolution and demand for an in
vestiga.ion is ewing to circulars sent
out by The health department. to Isons
who are notified that their vaults must
be cleaned. On the margin OF the notice
Is printed card stating that if the
work is done by other than the ST.. Paul
Sanitation company, who have the con
tract, the owner is liable to arreSE
under the ordinance.
The fact is that the st. Paul Santa
ton company has no contract with the
city for doing this work, and Assembly
men Lightner and Reardon talked very
plainly and tOrclOly about the head of
The health department allowing such
notices To be sent 10 the property own
Ant 1 mn nj,
been known the city had no contract
with the company.
ASSemblyman Scnuette introduced a
resolution asking the chief OF police to
ascertain who IS responsible for the de-
tentl0n OF the Minneapolis garbage
trains at st. Anthony Park, ami to see
that the offensive freight be forwarded
10 It's destination without being stopped
at ANY point within the city limits of
the city of st. Paul. Mr.. Schuette said
the garbage collections from iMinneapo-
lis were shipped by belt line from that
city and lett for twelve or more hours
standing on side track near St. An
thony Park. The council had ordered
the nuisance arising from the city'S gar
bage removed, and lie was in favor of
not allowing Minneapolis garbage col
lections to annoy the residents OF this
city. The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
The bid of the John Martin Lumber
company was approved and the proper
city officers directed to execute the con-
tract.
johnson Rises to Remark.
A motion to adjourn was stopped by
AsSemblyman Johnson, who said he
rose TO a question of persoua1 privilege.
fhe Pioneer Press of July 30. he SAID.
contained long editorial, i'll WHICH the 4
members of the assembly had been
criticised for approving the report
of the special council committee APP
pointed to consider the estimate and an
nual budget of the school board The
criticism, he said, did nothing but
abuse the assembly, and did not under
take to prove the falSity of the state
ments contained in the report.
The talk of MIR. johnson, who, as
chairman of the committee, felt much
put out at the article III the administra-
ton organ, wound up i'll the following
language:
Great heavens, upon what meat hath
this our Caesar fed that he hath grown
so great, when it is claimed that this
council must walk up blindly and vote
away thousands of dollars of the peo-
pies money without, as their repre-
SentatiYeS, ever investigating as to
the expenditure, or raising a pro
test against something that is
condemned with almost an universal
voice. 1t is but lust to state that we
know that this iIl-timed criticism does
not come from any member OF the pres
ent board of education, w hich is COM
posed of gentlemen in whom We have
implicit confidence, but it is rather the
ghost of voice from the board whose
estimate this council reduced $4,000.
and the wisdom of which action is
proved in the report of the present
efficient board as we believe the WIS
dom of our criticism will be year
hence.
On motion of Mr.. Reardon, seconded
by Mr.. Doran, tine effort of Mr.. John
son, which was a type written one, was
ordered published Ill the official pro-
ceedlngS.
