pr viding for the disposal of garbage
10y burning vas broughtup I. Mr.. Slaugh-
ter raised the point that if the ordi-
nance was passed Council would be
obliged to dispose of the garbage in this
parlic ular n only. He said that
heretofore the trouble had teen in the
Collection of garbage, not in its dispo-
sal, and that lift var incinerated Coun-
Gil had no guarantee thai the nuisance
in collecting would he avoided. He
said hat Mr.. Craner had some trouble
with the Middle Township Board of
Health, but that after the matter was
covered with earth no further COM
plant was made. Mr.. Slaughter said
that Council could dispose of its gar
bage by burning or any other way with
out an ordinance. The result of the
discussion was that the Solicitor war
directed to confer with the Seaside In
cineraling Co. in reference to a garbage
franchise or contract and report at next
meeting. A number of amendments
we're offered to the telepone ordinance
and it was referred back to committee.
On motion the Mayor appointed a COM
mittee, consisting of Slaughter, Bright
and Kalhach, to investigate the fire
apparatus and report. Messrs. HAM
ilton, Slaughter and Kalbach was ap-
pointed a committee to obtain prices
on street crossings. Adjourned till
