ST. LOUIS, April S.-Mayor of a
worlds fair city, supporter of Folk
in his Doodle crusade and exponent
of real business administration,
Rolla Wells has faced and solved
more knotty problems than fall to
the lot of most American executives.
His first was the worlds fair. How
well that was solved, visitors to the
city know. Under his direction,
beautiful Forest park. the site of the
fair, is now being restored to it's orig
inal condition, without expense to
the city. The city gains, besides, the
fine arts building as a permanent
gift.
Our first big problem was the
garbage question:" said the mayor
I'VE were paying 1856 per day for
the disposal of 200 tons of refuse"
The price was excessive" the
mayor went on. The contractors had
a fine crematory, but it was in a
thickly settled neighborhood. The
congregating of the wagons in one
place and the crematory itself COM
bined to produce odors that were al
most insufferable. The municipal as
sembly refused to aid me. so the
comptroller and l bought Chesly
island, "a miles from the city, in the
Mississippi river. We owned barges,
and we bought garbage wagons.
I'VE intended to dump the garbag &C
on the island and pillow it under, but
a man asked that he be permitted to
put pigs and chickens on 1t. We let
him. They eat up the garbage and
are growing fat and happy. 1t costs
us $135 per day, a saving of 1921
per day, or ISL 900 per year"
1t may not be amiss to state what
the mayor was too modest to say,
that he bought the island and is pay
ing for the work out of his own
pocket, with little likelihood that the
present assembly will reimburse him.
Our water supply was a problem,
too. 1t was so muddy that glass
of 1t was not even translucent and
