Charles Webber, the garbage contractor has had a wagon fitted up for the business It is entirely new, the body being line' with zinc with an outlet to draw eff thirds It is boxed over so that there will be D. offensive odor in carrying garbage througl our streets. or course it is a venture on one year contract to lay out much none for accessaries. The ordinance should b altered so that contract would run 10 | three years. The work has been very wel done by MT Webber this season, thus far. I pointee of the borough that requires nor time, to say nothing of goo judgment, than that of superintendent C the poor; that is if the ofic is to be conducted in the interest of tn borough. There never has been a time bt fore when any effort was made to conduC the office or it's equivalent or thoroug business principles. Under the preser system fully double the salary of superir tendent will be saved on paupers' accour alone, to say nothing of the other dutia! The salary was placed at 5000 per annun bnt without doubt will be raised to $1 600. We know there are men in the dem' cratic party who offer to take it for th borough to pay MT Langford the increase salary The DEMOCRAT believes him to @ good man for the position.
