for collecting the garbage, and there

being done, City Council should go fup-
ther and assume the task of providing
for the collection OF the garbage. That
wuld be a practical and business-like
way Of treating the Understanding

frightened on the New Castle trolley
line yesterday afternoon, only number

one, and the iron bridge which spans
the Delaware cutoff at that point
should never have been erected.-Daily
