vice. Superintendent Stidham Of the street
cleaning department has ordered that in
stead of one collection per week ashes
shall be gathered twice each week In

the contractor on November J. to become

service was@that ashes accumulated more
rapidly than many city residents were able
to handle in the limited space of back
yards. The double collection is also de-
signed to save householders the expense
OF purchasing Superfiuous receptafles.
