ADVERSE OPINION.
Request for Permission to Deliver
Garbage az Fertilizer.

An opinion has been handed the Com
missioners by Acting Health officer Nc
Lean relative to the request recently
made by Mr.. S. P. Bayly, representing
Garbage Contractor Joshua n. Warfield,
for permission to dump garbage on the
wharf of a Mr.. Sweeny, in the Dis
trict, about 100 yards from the Maryland
line, On the Potomac river. The acting
health officer recommends that the con-
tractors request be denied, and gives the
following reasons to the Commissioners for
such Endorsement:
"Inasmuch as the contract now existing
between the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia and Joshua n. Warfield, for
the collection and disposal of all garbage
and dead animals by cremation, and that
said contract, as modified March l, 1898,
requires that all garbage shall be trans
ported down the Potomac, or disposed Of
at a point, or points, below the District, L
deem it unwise to grant said contractor
permission to deliver even for a limited
period, all, or any part, of the garbage to
any one for deposit within the limits of the
District
Il will add that for a long time past it
has been the uniform practice of this de-
partment, by and with the consent of the
Commissioners, to confine the issue of per-
mits of private garbage collectors to such
as will convey the same beyond the boun-
daries of the District. To permit the city
garbage contractor TO daily dispose of re-
fuse matter within the District in this
manner, and for the purpose indicated,
would, in my Judgment be establishing
precedent that might give rise in future
to complications that a refusal of the re-
quest will avert.
For the reasons herein cited, and others
| that can be advanced. 1 have the honor to
recommend that the contractors request
be denied.
The manner In which the contractor de-
sired to dispose of the garbage is stated in
a letter to the Commissioners. in which he
stated he had been requested by Mr.
Sweeny. who owns a farm on the Potomac
river, just inside the District line to deliver
to him at his wharf, within one hundred
yards of the Maryland line, some garbage
to be used on his truck farm as fertilizer
Mr.. Sweeny says that the garbage will be
unloaded ha lied Upon the land and plowed
under soon as delivered; that his place
IS distant nearly mile from any other res
idence; that no nuisance will be created;
that he has the necessary facilities for un-
loadir G scows without polluting the river,
and that in the past the Commissioners
have granted a similar request. which he
availed himself of without complaint from
any source,

by Miss Edna Bo4ob; several instrumental
selections by the Weaver brothers; reading

cluded refreshments were served by the

sentation of hardtack, with the national
colors attached, as souvenirs.

WILL BE MUSTERED OUT
-Four Signal Corps Companies to Leave
the Service.
The Company Recruited in the Dis
trict of Columbia VIII BE
Included.

Gen. Greedy, chief signal officer, has
recommended that four of the companies
of the volunteer signal service be mustered
out of the military service. there being no
further use for their services. The COM
paliies selected are the 5th, which was re-
cruited in the District of Columbia: the
Ith, which was mainly recruited in Chi
cago; the 9th. which was recruited in New
York, and the 10th. which was recruited
in Massachusetts. In view of the fact that
all of these companies performed service
outside the United States during the war.
Gen. Greedy recommends that they be fur
louShed for sixty days before disbandment.
His recommendations will undoubtedly be
approved.
Second 1t. Chas. o. Pierson of the Vol
untcer Signal Corps, attached to the Sth
Company, was one of the officers selected
by the chief signal officer for mastering
out of that service. Lieut.. Pierson is in
charge of the telegraph office in the War
Department. and the adoption of Gen.
Greely'S recommendation would have re-
suited in his retirement from that posi-
ton. The acting secretary of war did not
favor such action. however, and by his
direction Lieut. Pierson was detached from
the Sth Company of the Signal Corps and
ordered to report in person to the assistant
secretary of war. This action will result in
his continuance in his present duties.
