Bulow is DereIict.

Health Officer Hielscher reported
that Garbage Collector BulOw, of the
Fifth and Sixth wards, is doing his
work in very slovenly manner, He
had gone over Bulow's route on a
bicycle and found that the Stops had
not been gathered for five or six days.

him ousted or his bondsmen come
back upon. He had spoken to Bulow
about the matter freely, but the more
he spoke to him the worse he got, and
the man had said that he was tired of
his job.
