POOR ECONOMY.

Arguments against the proposition are
10 the effect that to have the garbage
placed back In the yards would require
more time and work ON the part of the
garbage men would necessitate the hir-
ing Of more teams and teamsters, and
that the city cannot afford To stand for
the additional expense. But those who
have the reform in view have figured
out that la would entail but a slight
extra cost, not 20 exceed three more
wagons, to have the nuisance abated.
In comparison with the Improvement
that would be effected, the outlay would
he Of little consequence. The matter
will be- aeitated until some definite ac-
ton rs taken TO remedy the manifest
