PASADENA Sept. 19.-Charles j.. Hill,
for twelve years chief of the salvage
department of the Southern Pacific, pro-
posed to the council tonight that he be
allowed to install a garbage incinerator
and to collect all the garbage and rub
Dish in Pasadena.
Hills plan is that he be granted the
right to erect his incinerator upon a
norton of the twenty acres owned by
the city and used as a dumping ground.
the plant to cost between $4,000 and
100000 The funds, according to Hill
statement to the council, will be imme-
diately available, and If necessary the
building could be ready for use in ninety
days.
Waste will be collected by the wogans
covering each section of the city twice
a week. Galvanized iron cans will be
furnished every householder in the city
and charge of so cents a month will
be made to pay for the bi-weekly col
lections
The cans will be tightly covered and
when they are taken to the crematory
will be emptied and jet of steam forced
into them, thoroughly cleaning and ster-
ilizing the can.
Hill asked the council for ten-year
lease and contract with an option of
renewal for ten additional years. He
also asked that an ordinance be passed
making 1t illegal to place any garbage
of any sort upon the streets, alleys or
vacant lots of the city. The city at
present has an ordinance which prohibits
anyone from burning or burying any
garbage within the city limits. Dead
animals which have heretofore been
shipped to Los Angeles at considerable
cost will also be taken care of by the
company backing Hill.
Free to Some
One of the councilmen asserted that
many of the poorer families could not
afford to pay so cents a month, and Hill
answered that any family the head of
which earns less than $40 month can
have it's garbage hauled free.
The ordinance which Hill asked the
council to consider would compel every
family in the city either to patronize his
wagons or to haul it's rubbish outside
the city limits and dispose of it in a
manner not conflicting with the county
rules.
In the course of his talk to the council
Hill stated that many families in this
city are gathering up edible garbage from
the restaurants and other sources and
feeding hogs with the stuff. He also
asked that such practices be stopped by
ordinance.
DR.. Black, city health officer, spoke Of
the seriousness of the garbage question
and gave instances of cities having theil
offal collected by private companies ant
asserted that he had found by investi
cation that better results were obtained
when private companies did the worl
than when the city attempted to taxi
care of it.
About ten tons are now collected daily
This however, does not represent tn
actual amount which wagons would col

The two objections which had been
raised by the city attorney, namely tnat
the district in question might be proved
not to belong to the city of Long Beach
and that to do the work would be Simply
giving bonus to the Western Boatworks
company, were vigorously met by the

that whether or not 1t should some day
develop that the slough was not in land
over which Long Beach has jurisdiction
the waterway should be deepened as re-
ouested because of the benefit 1t would be
to the city. =
AS to the proposed work being simply

pany, whose president, Capt carver nrst
petitioned the city council to carry out the
stated improvements, half dozen firms
were mentioned which are even at present
vastly benefited by the traffic when is
possible through the slough at this time.
The Home Bond and Building company
has 600 900 feet of lumber at San PEDRO
which must be brought to its mill at the
foot of Seventh street. If this lumber
must be transported over the Salt Lake
railroad the freight charges will be 81
per 1000 feet, with an additional cost OF 80
cents per 1000 feet incurred in having IL
hauled to the mill site. If, however, the
lumber can be brought through the slough
| on barges the cost of its transportation
will be but % cents per 1000 feet.
| At present the lumber barges can be
brought through the slough only at high
! tide. If the work asked for is done the
slough can be used at all times. The pro-
posed improvements, consisting of deepen
! ing the channel in few shallow places,
would cost $4,000. When the mouth of the
