SUE FOR NEGLECT
May Collect Damages from City for
 Inefficient Garbage Service

Complaints about the collection of garbage are continuing to be heard on all sides, although most people have given up all hope of a decant or sani- tary service under present conditions. After no garbage has been collected for three or four weeks the average person begins to get impatient
 Attorney C. s. Hamilton Is one of the latest to nave complaint He said yesterday that no garbage col lections have been made from his premises for more than four weeks and that his letters 10 the board of health have had no results
 "Tf this neglect continues much longer" said he, 'T shall certainly bring suit against the city Wo pay taxes to cover the cost of garbage col- lection and are entitled to such service or to damages, tho same as for a clogged-up sewer or other instance nf the city's failure to live up to It's con- tract. This matter of garbage colec- ton is n crying shame anG Il disgrace to the city. If n" mousse Is passed over much longer ] shall certainly sue for damages"
 This Is the attitude of good many In the city who have failed to receive any satisfaction after continued pro- tests and 1t is quite possible that be- fore long the city will have enough suits on it's hands to more than have paid the cost of an incinerator

CHANGE DOUBTFUL
Rogers Has Not Looked Matter Up Fully, But Thinks Anti
 Yale Move Late.
DELAYED JUST ONE DAY
EN-prcsidcnt Dwighi's Petition Nboi ishlng proprictors' Committee of
 Green Also Involved.

Corporation Counsel r, II Rogers stated last night that. while he had not looked thoroughly Into the matter of Alderman J Edmund Mller's petition which has for its object the taxing of Yale, he thought that any action com ing tonight in the board of aldermen would come too late He said that the fact that the legislature opens three weeks from today would put any ac- tion this year at too late q period as any adverse charter changes must be advertised at least three weeks in ad- vance of the opening of the legislature. The proposed change could not be ad- ycrtised more than 20 days In advance and this would be one day less than nc- cessary.
 It Is said that the petition had for It's object the taxing of the dormitorles and several other buildings from which Yale derives an income. The wording is 'Nll propery owned by educational | institutions and not used exclusively for educational purposes to pay taxes. v
 Another charter amendment which has been brought up too late probably Is that asked for by cx-President Timo' thy Dwight and others to the effect that all parks be put under the con trol of the park commission This k said to hc aimed at taking the Greer out ot the hands of the proprctors committee and put it in the hands Q the park commission

The estimate of Town Clerk Elliott is rather interesting one and as usual each item is picked tp pieces by the political fan Mir Elliott be- lioVos that a l0-mill tax will cover the amount to be realized The ltom which arouses interest is the estimated expenditure for highways and bridges, This year $S,OOO is set apart for this work instead of $G, O00 In past years
 of the $6,0OO appropriation, tho bor- ough has been receiving S2,000 and thus only $i,000 was left to care for the town highways during the year, That this s an insufficient amount there is no doubt and the increase in the appropriation is advocated by Sclcctman Holt The latter has ideas about making town roads which merit attention. Instead of scraping ont the gutters into the middle of the streets as has hecn done the past he believes in making repairs of q permanent nature His views on tho matter arc sound and bear weight in tho community Another interesting item is the appropriation for schools. This amount is $2t,Ooo. However 1t is announced that the amount this year would probably exceed that of last year. Last years was S2.I00 and it would appear that the estimate will have to be increased. A meeting of the school board is to be held on Fri day night and the whole board will estimate, A special town meeting will be held early next month.

Extensive preparations are being
made for an exhibit Of the anti-tu-
berculosis work in Minnesota at the
international Congress on Tubercu-
losis at Washington, September 81
to October II. The State Board of
Health, the Minnesota Association
for the Prevention and relief of
tuberculosis. the Live Stock Sanitary
Board, the Board of control. the
State University, and other state or
CARNATIONS will spend considerable
sums in illustrating the institutional
educational and other work now
being conducted in the state to stay
the great white plague. In addition
many local charitable organizations
and Institutions will show the world
what Minnesota is doing. State
pride has operated between the var
ious states making exhibitions to
produce profitable rivalry in this
matter, and it is hoped that Mime
sofa will be second to none. A COM
mittee of ffty-five representative
citizens has been appointed. many
of whom will attend the Congress.
A better opportunity for disinter-
ested support of a great information
al movement never presented itself.
