Municipal Garbage System.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The time has undoubtedly come when
Seattle should have a system, owned and
operated by the municipality. for the dis
posal OF garbage. This is generally the
last, although It is one Of the most In
dispensable accessories OF q CITY, 1t Is
on par with good sewers. and hardly
less necessary. At the present time popu-
lation Of 100000 people must depend upon
private parties to remove the refuse that
accumulates about the rear Of all occupied
premises. They must find q man who will
do the work, pay him and depend upon his
promptness and fidelity for one OF their
first sanitary needs. And after the stun
has been loaded into carts, it's final dis
position Is within the city's control only
In as far as the police force and the health
department are able to keep watch.
The collection and disposal of garbage
should be made by the city, under the
control of the health officer. It may be
necessary, for the present, to enter into
a contract with some private parties to
do the work, but no such agreement should
be for more than O. short period. II Is
honestly better for the public, as well as
for the tax payer. that we should depend.
as now, upon private enterprise than that
we should be subject to the mercies OF a
contractor. In almost no city does this
arrangement work satisfactorily.
