GARBAGE
The collection of garbage has been very
unsatisfactory during the past year and
the system at present in use seems to be
failure. | would earnestly recomn: end that
a ritxy in, a Of and
regulate lhe collection of garbage by ordi-
nance, requiring the residents themselves
to pay for the collection thereof. A Dixon
crcmatory of fifty tons capacity in twenty
four hours can be put in for less than
$4,000. The one put in at Mckeesport.
Pa, of the same capacity, cost SSOo9.O9,
including lot. This furnace ia giving entire
satisfaction wherever used, is odorless. and
the expenses of operating are small. The
Smith-Seamans furnace, now in use in Phil
adelphia, Pa, and Atlantic City, N. j., is a
good furnace. For the money spent dur.
ing the past year for the collection of garb-
age and the cremation of dead animals the
city could put in two crematories of such
capacity as would dispose of all the garb-
age and dead animals besides. and at a
comparatively small cost for cremation.
The following were registered during
the year: Physicians. 317: pharmacists.
l 13: dentists. so: midwives, IL; plumb.
ers and sewer layers. 223: dairymen, 179.
