The Garbage Service.
the Editor Of The Evening star:

TO the Editor O. lie Evening star:
l see it stated In THE STAR that it is not
probab lie that the Commissioners will pay the
parties now pretending to perform the garba &c
service fifty cents per ton for treating the gar
bage in the city, instead Of taking it outside Of
the District, as provided for by the contract.
Well. should hope not in view OF these two
facts. first. that another company has offered
10 treat it for nothing and second. tina. treat
ing it here will save the company the cost Of
taking it outside of the District
How much it costs them to take it away l do
not know, but according to the testimony Of
the nominal contractor, Mr.. Clark. before the
Sena.e committe, the Commissioners through
the health office last summer paid $50 per
day for this service; and, as Mr.. ClaSk further
testifies. he subsequently took the cof,ract for
So. so per day.
at the former rate. emitting Sundays. it
would amount to 5000 year, or al S12 so per
day, it would be S4,0l2.50. But whatever the
rate paid by the contractors it amounts to sew
eral thousand dollars per annum if they carry
out the contract, and should like to have any
one explain why or on what theory the COM
pany should be paid 81 500 out of the District
revenues, as is authorized by the present Dis
trict bill. for being relieved Of that amount?
The citizens gain nothing by it. 1t would
simply be making present to the company Of
$500. plus the cost OF transporting it down
the river, out Of the District revenues and
should think the Commissioners would hesitate
some time before doing that.
Another reason why they should not be paid
for treating the garbage here is that it would
not only relieve them of tine cost of Transport
tation, but is of itself a profitable operation.
Mr.. Clark testified that it was profitable, 20
much 80 that the company were to transfer to
him % per cent of the stock. Besides. IL not
profitable, why would the Simonin Company
offer to treat it for nothing and beg the privil-
eye?
The fact is there are many methods Of treat
ing garbage and rendering it profitable about
which the general public know nothing. There is
the subject some hat-that the garbage Of the
District, If treated by the best methods, can
not only be made to pay a large profit, but
if properly managed can be made to pay a large
part, If not the entire cost, OF gathering it.

Dead Dogs should BE Removed.

To the Editor Of Tire Evening Star:
Friday afternoon about o'clock policeman
shot and killed dog on the pavement of sth
street northeast between Massachusetts, avenue
and street and then threw the carcass into
the gutter. where the swollen and disgusting OBJ
ject still remains twenty-four hours after the
shooting.
Some months ago the dead body of dog
lay on the pavement of Maryland avenue be-
tween LIST and I'd streets for fully thirty-six
hours after first saw it in putrid condition.
Such occurrences are by no means uncom-
mon on the streets and avenues of this. the
most beautiful city in the world-:he capital of
a mighty nation of $1,000. 900 of people
Is it possible that the municipal government
does not provide for the removal OF dead ami
mails. whether they have died from natural
causes. from accident by the pistols or
clubs of the metropolitan police? If there be
such provision surely there must be gross neg
!ect of duty somewhere. EIGHTH STREET.

The Rieors of the Quarantine.

To the EDITOR Of he Everirr Sta:
An editorial in Wednesdays STAB suggested
few thoughts to one of the quarantned
Our four children have just suffered from q
diphtheretic affection Of q mild form, which
the careful physician felt compelled to report
as dipktheria; In consequence the dreaded blue
card was put up and we have been Stunned as
veritaDle pest house since. Now We do not
complain of this. not even that a Young girl in
the house perfectly well herself has been ban
ished from school and ostracised in every way,
although she has not been hear the sick ones
and could not possibly carry contasion.
We are willing to endure these evils for the
sake Of public welfare, knowing that in all these
affections there is danger OF contsgion; bat we
do protest against Icing at the mercy Of every
neighbor vino chooses to consider himself an
additional health officer.
The writer would not 20 back to the DAYS
when cases of diphtheria Of the worst malignant
type were not isolated and public funerals were
allowed no matter how con IA gious the disease,
but surely there should be lire drawn be-
tween the milder forms of this disease and the
malignant type.
Could not the physician have the privilege
OF reporting the milder forms as such and they
be treated accordingly?
There seems a little inconsistency in compel
ling bedding. DC, to be steamed or burned
after these mild diphtheretic attacks, when the
SouViSiouS paIt inc lTOu tne
nose and throat is SO slight TO be easily
burned before driving. and allowing room and
bedding of typhoid fever patients to remain
unmoiested should they so desire. and. strange
as it may seem, some do. Yet they are often
foremost in bounding the unfortunate victims
Of scarlet fever and diphthcria. Could not this
excellent law be Invested of some unnecessary
rigor?
For those worst forms of these dread diseases
is there not some charity among the panic
stricken public for the agoniled parents, who
see their darlings stricken and know that If
their health and strength fail no other will min
lister to tine helpless ones?
The servant girl is usually the first to fee
and no washer woman can be had for love or
money.
In our case the milk supply was cut off at a
critical time for the little sufferers, because the
woman was afraid to deliver 1t at the door or
have us send 70 her.
Our strength did not fail and we are not
pleading for ourselves. but there is always this
suffering minority, who while they must be
sacrificed for the public welfare and submit
without murmur in most cases, yet find their
burdens almost too heavy 10 bear.
Sufferers from contagious diseases must ray
exorbitant prices for nurses il haply such may
be found. Instead of adding to this panic
could not something be done to satisfy the
woman who needs the wage for washing
that the disiafected clothing is not a source Of
danger? Could not healthy adults be assured
that they might even minister to the wants of
the SICK AID Incur very little danger TO them
selves or the dear pubic we all love so well?
