and it comes on good authority has
been withdrawn for good. The ven
ture has proven an expensive one
for the Long from the first and has
resulted as all such things do, in the
survival of the fittest. Capt. Streck-
fus built up the short river trade
between this city, Davenport and
the cities at the other end Of the run,
and he was the first to establish q
permanent packet. When opposition
was attempted, not as he viewed il
for the purpose Of opposition 60
much as to spite him, he met it and
defended his business-and he has
won. His packets and his methods

Since assuming the direction of
the health department of the city,
Commissioner Comegys has given
much time to the study Of the gar
bage question. and as result he mas
devised many plans. which, if car
ried into execution. will not only
improve the system of conducting
the same. but will reduce the
c st Of maintaining it materially.
Dr.. Comegys, in addition to the
thoughtful consideration he has
given the matter, made careful in
vestigation Of the plans in vogue in
all cities visited during the tour of
reservoir inspection, and likewise
the manner employed in our neigh
boring cities Of Moline and Daven-
port. In the thoughtful and careful
attention the health commissioner
has given to the all important SUBJ
ject, Mayor Medill has given his
cheerful cooperation and has been
ever ready to give the plans proposed
by DR.. Comegys his thought, and as
far as possible his endorsement.
Since entering upon his duties
Health Commissioner Comegys has
not felt that the garbage service Of
the city was what it should be, the
main fault being that too much time
was consumed in hauling. which if
shortened would afford more frequent
collections of garbage. To do away
with this an experiment has been
made which cuts of q mile of dead
haul each way. and last night the
city dump boat Was moved from its
position opposite the old abattoir
and towed up 10 the foot of Fifteenth
street. There is not now q colven.
lent approach to the boats position.
but for the present the wagons 20
dow Seventeenth street to the river,
cross the railroad tracks and then
then proceed close to the river to
the boat. If the plan adopted proves
feasible in the matter of suitable
stages OF the water, etc, . roadway
will be cut through from First ave-
nue. at the foot of Fifteenth street
over the railroad tracks direct to the
boat.
| Advantages Clsimed.
Health Commissioner Comegyl
claims that the advantages of more
convenient location will be noticed
At once all over the city. Heretofore
the expense of garbage hauling hal
been so day for the three wagons
which have been able to make but two
trips day to the central and upper
sections and three to the lower dis
trict, whereas it is expected nov
that every house in town will b,
reached at least once day. In order
to insure absolute cleanliness at thu
dump boat a 60-foot chain has beer
provided and the boat will be taker
to, the end of it twice q day and
dumped in the river.
Another plan which Health Com
missioner Comegys hopes to intro
duce is the providing Of metal sani
tary receptacles for garbage. He il
having q model constructed now il
accordance with his ideas and which
can be supplied at IS cents each. and
later it is planned and hoped tha'
metal garbage wagons will be pro
vided in place of the wooden one
now in use.
