Order of Collector Compels Pla-
cling of Receptacles on
Sidewalks.
FILTH COLLECTS ON STREETS.
Assistant Health Commissioner
Francis Will Make Concessions
to Make Collections at
Certain Hours.

The attention Of Assistant Health Com
missioner Francis has been called to the
condition OF garbage affairs in Cabanne. He
promises to treat with the garbage collec-
tors in an effort to remedy the defects.
In most thoroughfareS of the Caoanre
district the residents are compelled, by an
order of the garbage collector. to place
their garbage recsptacleS on the sidewalk
in front of their homes there being no al
leys. In many cases the cans and baskets
remain where they are claced until the gar
bage collector comes around b,.t IN most
cases they are overturned. either by acci-
dent or through mischief. and then the
streets are Uttered with the contents.
1t is the intention of Francis. il possible.
to arrange with the garbage collectors TO
make collections in the Cabanne district at
certain hours OF the day. The district to
be included in this arrangement will be be-
tween Hodamont. Union, Delmar and
E,aSton avenues.
Assistant Health Commissioner says he will
have to make some concession to the gar
bage contractors. as they have shown no
disposition to go out of their way to &C
commodate the city.
The law requires that garbage receptacles
must be placed within ninety feet CT the
street alley. and in cases where there
are no alleys this means that the recep-
tacles must be placed on the sidewalk.
The city has been divided into two dis
tricts for garbage collection. On Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays all the wagons are
pressed into service in the district south
of Washington avenue. and on Mondays.
W edneSusiyS ana FTllayS wagons are useu
in the district north of Washington avenue.
BY this arrangement it is an easy matter
for the sanitary inspectors to keep track
of the work done by the garbage haulers
Mr.. Francis says the work of the garbage
collectors. since the order OF the Board OF
Health was issued, has been satisfactory
At present, he says. it is impossible for the
wagons to reach some portions of the
Cabanne district on account of the condi-
ton of the streets. When the cold weather
breaks he will make arrangements with
the contractors TO improve the service in
that neighborhood.

AGREEMENT ON THE NAVAL BILL
Senate Yields on the Principal
Item of Difference.

Washington, March 3.-The conferees of
the two houses on the naval bill came to
an agreement at 10 O'Clock tonight.
The Senate surrendered on the principal
item OF disagreement. the amendment relat
ing to the increase of the navy.
The provision as agreed upon provides
for three battleships of 5000 tons displace-
ment and two battleships of 1900 tons dis
placement and entirely eliminates the pro-
vision for cruisers.
The matter of naval increase was the
chief matter In controversy. The House
conferees insisted on the provision In the
House bill for three large battleships and
one large cruiser while the Senate CON-
ferees were equally insstent on the re-
tention of the Senate amendment providing
for smaller warships.
