cITY GARpAGE pEsTRUCTION.

There is considerable discussion
about the disposition Of garbage in this
city. The matter is talked about in
quarters where its discussion is unex-
pected; showing that there is, from
some cause, an unusual interest taken
in the subject The Council, It is said,
proposes to assume control OF garbage
collection and destruction, relieving the
health department from responsibility
and depriving it Of power in the work
There is undoubtedly a good deal Of
opposition TO this plan, which is sup
posed to be the outgrowth Of some po-
litical purpose.
That politics should not be permit
ted to interfere with the public health
does not need to be stated. Garbage
should be disposed OF quickly, thorough
ly, effectively and at the least cost If the
health department can do it, that is the
department that should do 1t. II the
work can be done-as we'll but cheaper
by any other department; or better at
the same cost, or even at greater cost
the change should be made. The OBJ
jects to be attained are: First, the best
work possible; second, at the least cost
possible; but, first of all, good work.
The Morning News, concerning the
matter, says:
While but little has been said public.

1t is claimed the Board Of Health
the proper body TO have control OF tn
matter, as the collection Of garbage j
practically a health matter. There vii
be considerable confusion If the ney
law is passed, for those who fail to &c
rid OF their garbage will notify tn
Board OF Health in most cases, as here

work OF Council. No complaint is mad
of the efficiency Of the clerk, but 1t
not his work.
II is also claimed that there Is n
political reason why the change shoul
be made for in a very short time tn

cuse him of ignorance when he makes
this statement. then there is nothing
left but to impeach his motives. what
he is pleased to regard as the frenzy
of popular fury" a state OF mind
(which. so far as we can judge, does not
exist. is not aimed at him because he is

worthy of him, and it looks like the de-

remarkably productive,yet on the other
hand the farmers were met by an ad-
vance of nearly 100 per cent. in their
supplies.
