GARBAGE Law
WORKS WELL

Not one fine has been imposed by the
Board of Health on the garbage contract
ors since the Inauguration Of the new
ordinance giving that department the
authority to collect fifty cents from each
colrlector for every ccmp,aint coming
from their respective districts.
Under the new law the complaints re-
ceived at the Health Department are re-
corded and then the collectors notified. If
the complaint is not attended to within
six hours the fine IS imposed and the
Health Board collects the garbage in its
own wagon. During October the COM
plants received were only thirty per
cent Of what they were for the same
month last year. Those connected with the
department think the new law is the best
thing that could have been inaugurated
for the health Of the city and it enables
them to a great degree in keeping the city
clean.
