Lawyer Stewart and the Ander-
son InCinerating System.
DISTRICT CONTRACT WORK
Attorney Thomas Asked For His Opin-
ion whether or Not Local Labor
Interests Can BE Protected by the
Commissioners Against
Street Extension Withdrawn.

1t begins to look as though the Anderson
incinerating system for garbage destruc-
ton viii prove 10 be unsatisfactory to the
Commissioners, the health officer, and the
contractor. The latest phase of the Ander-
son negotiation was made public yesterday,
when Mr.. S. T. Bayly notified the board
that Lawyer Stewart had no authority
TO represent Mr.. Joshua Warfield.
or course this statement created consid-
| cradle surprise, as Mr.. Stewart had re-
peatedly declared himself TO be the rep
Tesentative of the contractors, and even
so late as Monday had advanced plans for
| the completion of the work
WHAT MR.. STEWART CLAIMED.
At that time he discussed In detail the
Anderson system, and to his own satisfac.
| ton showed that il would require but
| short while for the garbage contractor
to erect and have i'll operation such plant
as that proposed. A Eoint upon which he
laid special stress was u new device pat
ented by Mr.. Anderson, which, it is claimed,
would reduce part of the garbage without
any Objectionable odor, and TO compound
which would be of value to the contractor
The Commissioners were pleased with Mr..
Stewards account OF the invention, and
| they agreed that after a satisfactory trial
! had been made and the efficacy OF the
method shown, the District Attorney would
be empowered to draw up a clause to be
| inserted in the contract, permitting the
company to reduce part Of the garbage,
provided the city received some financial
! benefitfrom the operation.
a letter has been written by the Com
! missioners To Mr.. Stewart, asking upon
whose authority he made the statements

A permit was granted yesterday to Mr..
| p. Mann, of No. 20T Seventh street north

for TINS permission he must agree to enter

! Commissioners; pay yearly rental or
