Mr.. A. Gonard of 723 18th street recently
complained to the District Commissioners
that the collector of ashes refused to take
ashes from his business place because they
were not in metal receptacles. Mr.. Gonard
stated that he has seen the collector take
ashes from other places where the refuse
was, like his in wooden barrels, and he ex-
pressed the belief that investigation would
show that there are thousands of places in
the city where ashes are collected from
other than metal receptaces. He. there
fore, contended that it is unfair to compel
one party to do a certain thing and not
compel others to do the same.
