mits Report to board of Health.

Sim T. Price. attorney for the Excelsior
Transfer and Hauling Company, submitted
a report of the number of wagons used
daily during the month of July for the haul
ing of garbage. The report, which was a
statement sworn to by Ed Butler, showiS
that from sixty-seven to seventy-five wask
ons are in use daily. Cd
Mr.. Price also read communication
which. he said. was the arrangement, and
not the agreement, decided upon as the best
way to collect the garbage 1t was the use
OF the word agreement by Acting Health
Commissioner Francis which Acting Mayor
Hornsby objected to at the last meeting OF
the board.
This communication. Mr. Price said, was
sent to Mayor Wells and City Counselor
Bates some time last February. In explana :.
ton of 1t he said that in view of the fact
that only about 5 per cent of the citizens
placed their garbage as provided for by
ordinance the changes made in the letter
were suggested.
In the main: according to Mr.. Price. they
are these: That the company divide the
city into two districts and collect from them
On the alternating days of the week, or
every other day in each district. II this
was to be allowed the company the gar
page would be collected, no matter whether
1t was free from foreign substances as pro-
vided in the contract
In other words. the company was to taf 4
all the garbage. regardless of its conditk
every other day. in place of taking ab0t.
per cent of II every day. Price could nots
say whether the company had ever received
any reply to the plan set forth.
Health Commissioner Simon. Doctor Mer-
rell and Mr.. Frye were the on-y members
of the board present at the meeting yester-
day, and they decided to hold a special ses-
sion as soon Mayor Wells returned to
the city and go into the matter thoroughly.
The board declared the plant of the Par.

sance, after listening to the final arguments
of c.. A. Brock for the plaintiffs who re-
side In the neighborncod. and Judge Bar

Representative of Minneapolis
Firm Explains Features of His
Scheme to City Officials.
SAYS REFUSE IS INcINERATED.
F. Fl. George Declares Method, To

ton in Handling, Makes
His Plan Economical.

F. H. George, vice president and secretary
of the Decarie Manufacturing Company oil
Minneapolis and New York, was In the
city yesterday comforting with Acting Mayor
Hornsby and President Phillips of the
Board OF Public improvements on the ques-
ton OF garbage disposal.
Mr. George is an advocate of municipal
ownership, when 1t comes TO a garbage
plant. and cites the case OF Minneapolis as
a striking example of what can be done
along that line.
The fundamental idea of the Decarie sys-
tenn is absolute Incarceration. The idea upon
which the plant is constructed was worked
out by a Mr.. Decarie. for whom the system
Is named. who was member of the Mon
treal Fire Department. in which city the
first plant was operated.
A committee from Minneapolis visited the
plant at Montreal and liked it so well that
they conferred with Decarie with the view
to getting him to erect one In Minneapolis
He told the committee that he had no mon
ey to build plant. but would sell them the
exclusive right to operate one in their city.
They closed the deal. and. according to
letters from city officials and members of
the State Board of Health of Minnesota.
they think their plant the best in the
United States.
UNIVERSITY HAS PLANT.
The University Of Minnesota has had one
of the plants in operation for about six
college campus, surrounded by costly col
lege buildings. At this plant the refuse
from the college and the different medical
departments is disposed of without any OF
the unpleasant features of the general run
OF garbage plants.
Mr.. George says there has never been an
objection Of any kind to either the plant on
the campus or the one owned by the city.
that there is no odor, or, in fact any cause
for complaint, because the garbage is
handled in perfectly sanitary manner.
both when 1t is brought to the plant and
after it gets there.
Another good point for the Minneapolis
George. everything goes" no matter
whether 1t is. tin cans, sweepings from the
street, or ashes.
'T see you have restrictions IN your
ordinances here" Mr.. George said, but
with our plant it makes no difference what
makes up the refuse. We will dispose of II
or forfeit our bond"
In making a rough estimate. st. Louis
can build three of our plants in suitable 10
cations that will make the fauls short for
difference in the price of coal in Mime
apolis and st. Louis you would soon have
the plants paid for with the difference in
the cost Of maintenance and what 1t Is
costing now.
