ABOUT GARBAGE REMOVALS.
Council Committee Takes Steps to
Improve the Situation.


Improve the Situation.
The special joint committee on gar
bage met yesterday afternoon and con-
sidered the specifications submitted by
| the corporation attorney for the gov
eminent Of the contract for collecting
and removing garbage contract dur
ing the year 1897. The specifications,
| as already pointed out, do not differ
in any material respect from those I'M
der which the present contracts are
operating. They require the garbage
and dead animals to be hauled out into
the country a distance of at least ten
miles from the city limits, and pro-
hfbit the loading of the same upon
cars anywhere inside the city limits.
The same forfeiture clause is included
under which the common council is
made the sole judge of the right of the
city to annul the contract and is en-
powered to annul it by a two-thirds
vote, in case the contractor fails to
perform the work according to the
contract
The committee, Of whom five of
the six members we're present, dis
cussed the specifications for a while
AS result. a few amendments will be
| recommended. Aid. Stutzman thought
that fine ought to be imposed on the
garbage contractor, upon proof that he
or any of his employees had charged
+ any citizen, or priv ate establishment
any sum Of money for collecting and
removing garbage or dead animals
Aid Stutzman explained that he had
known of several cases in which the
employees of the garbage contractors
had charged people for removing gar
bage, and dead animals in particular
The committee approved of Aid. Stutz-
mans suggestion and voted to amend
the specifications by adding clause
tractor in every instance that may
come to the knowledge of the council of
charge being extorted from a pri-
vate person or company for removing
garbage, etc.
The committee also considered the
prescribed fine of rs cents for each
failure to collect garbage from all
places where 1t has been placed In a
proper receptacle, as too small an
amount, and accordingly recommended
that the fine be so cents for each fall
ure. dig
AS the specifications provided for no
special fine other than rs cents for
failure to remove dead animals after
receiving proper notice, ASSemblyman
Kirke moved that a fine of S. be i'm
posed for every such 3 failure. The
amendment met with the views of AS
Semblymen Daily and Thompson and
Aldermen Allard and Stutzman and
was adopted.
Another amendment was added, re-
curing the contractor to collect all
the garbage accumulated at the mar
ket house, as we'll as the commission
houses The existing contract does not
require the garbage contractors to call
at the market house, and consequently
the city has been paying additional
monthly bills for the removal of the
market house garbage and refuse.
The committees then adjourned until
next Monday at 4 p m, for the, pur-
pose Of comforting with Health Com
missioner Stone, regarding the speci-
fications.

or methods akin thereto than by the
physical penalties that prison rules
have caused all offenders to suffer
This is exactly the idea from which
Warden e. G.. Coffin, Of the Ohio peni-
tertiary conceived his plain Of helping
the prisoners to reform by grading
their clothing. There are to be three
grades, one hardly different from the
ordinary suit of the civilian, while the
other two bear in greater degree the
mark of the prison. The first grade Of
clothing Is Of plain gray cloth, with
nothing to indicate that 1t Is anything
else than a citizens suit The second
grade will consist Of a gray and white
checkered goods, and the third grade
will be that of the present regular
stripes, now worn by all.
A prisoner upon entering the prison
will be placed in the second grade and
after the expiration of six months with
out being reported for any fnfraction
TO the rules will be entitled to be placed
in the first grade. Every prisoner in
the Ohio penitentiary who Is not re-
ported for the violation Of prison rule
until Jan. 1 will be permitted to wear
the first grade uniform as soon as it
is possible to procure 1t. The prisoner
who, during the time mentioned, is re-
ported for one infraction Of the rules
will be eligible to the first grade ten
days thereafter. The prisoner who has
two reports against him Jan. will
not be eligible to the first grade for
twenty days. If prisoner has three
or more reports against him he will not
be placed in the first grade until three
continuous months have passed with
out an unfayorable report regarding
him"
1.-The idea," says the Chicago Times
Herald, sis SO simple that it seems
strange the method has never before
been utilized
AS a matter Of fact, the idea has been
in use in the state prison of Minnesota
for years. That is all.

TO REVIVE NEW, BRIGHTON.
Messrs. Lowry and Hill Have .
Large Plan.


Large Plan.
There is a scheme on foot on the part
of the defunct Minneapolis stock yards
at New Brighton to sell out their plant
to the Minnesota Transfer COMPANY
for S50O,O00, which will just pay off the
bondholders. They have made over
lures to the Minnesota Packing and
Provision company at South St. Paul
to operate a packing house there, but
the latter want 100000 bonus. Should
the deal go through it will require
100000 to build packing houses equal
to those Of South st. Paul, as the pres
ent house at New Brighton is wholly
inadequate to do packing business.
The statement made by paper yes
terday that the South ST. Paul plant
would be moved over is not well found
ed. The Minnesota Packing and Pro-
vision company are simply tenants at
South st. Paul and should they move
there are Chicago parties ready to
operate the house.
President Flower says such move
would not affect the business at South
st. Paul in the least, but on the con-
trary plans are about completed to
erect additional abbatoirs in the spring
South st. Paul has $1000,000 invested in
packing houses alone, which are owned
by the Union Stockyards company, who
compel them to operate their plants Or
get out.
The deal now under contemplation
involves the purchase by the Minnesota
Transfer company of the New Brighton
yards and also the Belt Line railway
Thomas Lowry, as one Of the largest
stockholders, is credited with being the
moving spirit in the sale. Mr.. Lowry
was seen today and spoke very guard
eddy about the matter. He said:
''It is true that there is a proposition
for the purchase of the property by the
Minnesota Transfer company, and that
a special meeting of the company is
called for Dec / to consider the matter
OF course, cannot say what this meet
ing will do but have understood that
the subject is favorably received by the
directors. 1t will undoubtedly be a
great thing for the two cities and the
railroads. The stockyards are capable
Of handling an enormous business and
of enlargement as soon as their capac-
ity is reached. Then, we expect to
make arrangements for the operation
of the packing plant on a plan which
will involve it's enlargement on an ex-
tensive scale. Yes, it may be operated
by the South st. Paul people.
President J. J. Hill, of the Great
Northern, and Samuel Hill are credited
with being active promoters of the
scheme. A. B. Stickney, representing
the Great Western, is naturally not
favorably disposed to 1t.
