Truckmen of Worcester at least those
who have not conformed to the regula-
lions. have caused all job wagon Ii
censes to be hung up.
When the license board convened yes
terday afternoon, between so and 70 of
these applications were on file for con-
sideration. On recommendation of
James C. Coffey, clerk Of the board,
nothing was done with the applications,
action being deferred for one week. All
job wagon licenses expire May 1, but
before the permits are granted, thor
ough investigation will be made.
The principal trouble seems to have
resulted from the lack Of care shown
by truckmen in dumping ashes and
rubbish. BY carelessness, drivers
have literally sealed their doom.
The clerk of the board Of health sends
out notification each year to all known
truckmen, acquainting them with the
different places within the city limits
where rubbish may be dumped. The
notification also stipulates that care
shall be used to cover all Objectionable
when dumped.
Little or no heed is paid to the regu-
lations, and complaints are pouring in
to the board of health steadily. Pri-
Vate individuals have allowed truckmen
to dump ashes on their land for the
sake of filling low lot. In many in
stances these lots are nearer the centre
of the city than the public dumps, and
the truckmen are quick to avail them
ca Of 10 n time
The dumping of starts in the middle
Of a lot, perhaps, but within short
time ashes and rubbish are found de-
posted near the street.
This has led the board of health to
advocate municipal collection Of ashes
and rubbish, and the present action of
the license board goes a long way in
support of The Spy's recent advocacy
of an ash collection system operated
by the city.
A rigid examination is to be conduct
ed. and those who have not been living
up to the requirements of their licenses
are likely to find themselves on the
outside.
Another matter considered by the
board was pool rooms. Acting on adj
vice of the city solicitor, the board
voted to have all pool rooms close at
ii o'clock
Reports from the police go to show
that when the saloons close, pool and
billiard rooms are a favorite resort for
many who should be on their way
home, and that many disturbances re-
suit from this cause
