ASH CONTRACTOR EXPLAINS
ANDERSON TELLS ABOUT MIsUN-
DERsTANDING REGARDING RE-
MOVAL OF ASHES.

At a special meeting of the Street
and Sewer Directors yesterday after
noon. Ash Contractor A. G. b. Ander-
son made an explanation regarding the
complaints Of his failure to remove
ashes and rubbish.
Regarding the complaints from resi-
dents Of Brandywine street, Mr.. Ander-
son contended that he had nothing to
do with ashes put out after his collec-
tions had been made He stated that
District Supervisor Clowney had told
him that he wished to use the ashes
complained Of and added that he had
not made collections in the district
ahead of the usual time. Tuesday Is
his regular collection day over Elev-
enth street bridge.
Supervisor Clowney stated that he
had found ashes all over the bed OF
Brandywine street, and had used them
TO fill in hole on Tatnall street. He
had also notified Mr.. Anderson that
ashes had not been removed from Thir-
teenth street, and the contractor had
promised to attend to the matter.
Mr.. Carter said he thought the con-
tractor should instruct his men to
empty boxes in which there was a
small amount OF paper. Replying, Mr..
Anderson said he never objected to a
small quantity Of paper. and the super
visor had never sent him to remove a
box on such a complaint.
The question Of placing ash recep-
tacles within the four-foot line after
they had been emptied was also con-
sidered. Mr.. Anderson, after some dis
cussion, said he would try to arrange
matters to suit the board, and the case
was dropped
