Garbage TrOubIea

For some time past the contractor for
removing the garbage Of the city has been
airing his woes before the Commissioners
His latest is that the crematory at the
foot Of South Capitol street is not doing
the work its inventor represented it would.
and that the sntiquated scow system hal
to be resorted to. Now comes in the in
ventor of the crems tory and the man who
has built the plant and has immediate su-
pervision of it. 1t is true, he says that the
c1ematory does not burn seventy-fve tons
OF garbage per day. But 1t is also true.
he says that the plant can take care of
the garbage of the city, II the contractor
treats him fairly. He complains that the
crernatory does not receive a pound of gar
bsge until l o'clock, and then the wagons
come piling in and stall the furnace He
says that In all other cities where his
crematory is In operation the garbage COM
mences to arrive about 0 o'clock In the
morning. Some time ago he appeared be-
fore the Commissioners and stated that
he was ready to enter into an arrange
nent with the authorities to destroy fifty
tons OF garbage FER day. The contractor
assured him of his willingness to help him
out. The first day, he says, he received
sixty-five tons. and then the amount grad
ually fell off.
The contractor, 1t Is said profits very
materially out of every ton Of garbage the
crematory cannot handle. According to
his contract with the owner Of the furnace
the latter Is to receive % cents per ton for
every ton of garbage destroyed. 1t ia much
cheaper to ship the garbage down the river
in scows and dump 1t overheard The con-
tractor is now talking of paying the owner
OF the crematory q proportionate amount
for the crematory on a basis of what 1t
destroys and what 1t was represented 1t
would take care Of. The drivers of the col
lection carts are protesting against the
wages the contractor pays, namely 81 per
day. which is helping to further confuse a
complicated situation

She Had Her Hands Full.
from the De troit Free Press.


Apropos of the facility with which Wo-
men can adapt themselves TO circum-
stances, a little woman boarded a street
car with two babies in her care, one in her
arms the other by the hand. She also car
ried a satchel a bunch OF wild flowers she
had evidently gathered that morning, her
pocketbook and, there was only one
seat for the trio, she took the other baby
in her arms, and held both during the
ride But the piece-de-resistance was her
door key, which she held, like some faithful
Bruno between her teeth. Nor did she re-
linquish 1t through the entire trip, but Ear
