Complaint against the ash collection
service continues. Mary 7. Jones writes
that she read with interest the article
published in Thursdays Times under the
| heading Woe of Man and Ash Can" Mrs.
Jones says that she is also dissatisfied
taxpayer, and that she 10 thoroughly dis
gusted with the present order of things.
Is Your Car IL Tin One?
Gould you she writes, "or any of
your numerous readers tell me what
earthly difference it makes whether the
can is metal or wood? And, as for size,
the Righteousness is supreme.
My servant startled me last week by
saying the ashman said he could not take
small cans. And again, the collections are
made once 4 week, summer and winter
alike. In summer one burns very little
coal or goes away, and in winter, when
ashes accommodate, the ash cans contain
toe little.
Worse Than other Cities.

tractor who is paid to collect and who

Circumstances Alter Cases.
Warner Stutler the Superintendent of
Street Cleaning. yesterday submitted to
the Commissioners a report upon the ir-
resularities of the ash service. The re-
port was in reply to certain criticisms of
the department made by W. s. Chance.
Mr.. Stutler says:
IT sometimes hanDens that an extra
quantity of ashes is produced during the
week. for instance when there is a cold
snap, and the collector cannot cover the
route on the day specified in the schedule.
But when this occurs he has instructions
to call on the next working day and not
only remove the regular weeks accumula-
ton, but any surplus that may be made in
the interval. l have called the contract
or's attention to the complaint and in
structed him to give Mr.. Chance regular
service hereafter"

The floor is covered by a large oriental

wall is a large, gold-colored oak book

electric lights. The jets are star-shaped
and when lit are almost natural. From
the end of this small rod is a small
wire which reaches to the table. To
this are fastened common shaped jets,

This wire may be twisted so that each

pretty effect when all the lights are
turned on. -Hlldur PETERSON,
