A Joker That Would Exempt Their Slot Machines From the Usual
 License.

1n6 0upeTNlSOTS HdNo lliIdily pdSoCo liiC resolution giving the Sanitary Reduction Works the exclusive privilege of hauling garbage to the crematory. and providing that the city shall pay for the hauling. The matter came up before the board a week ago in the form of a resolution. which was passed to print, setting forth that some of the scavengers in this city continued to dump garbage on the Mis- sion flats instead of hauling 1t to the ere matory, as required by law, and in def1- ance of all sanitary regulations. The resolution also affirmed that the present method of hauling garbage was a menace to health as the wagons used allowed their contents to be scattered along the streets. As a safeguard to the city'S health, 1t proposed a certain patented wagon should be used, and that a suff1- cient tax levy should be made to provide for the payment of hauling garbage by the city.
