BOARD TO SECURE
BIDS FOR GARBAGE
COUNCIL PASSES ORDINANCE
AFTER LONG DELAY
Hotel Men Want Burden of Bond Put
on Garbage HauIers, but
City Attorney
Says No

At last. after dragging through
choking process of red tape since last
December, the garbage ordinance mas
been passed and the board Of pubue
works instructed to advertise for BIDS
for handling the garbage OF Los All
geles for the next five or ten years. IL
will still be about ninety days before
the board of public works can enter
into a contract, which viii bring 1t We'll
uD to December before new conditions
Drevail in the collection of Los Angeles
garbage making it nearly a year since
the matter was first proposed by D. N.
Edwards when he was MEMBER OF lne
board of public works.
But members of the council breathed
a sigh Of relief yesterday when they at
last realized the eternal garbage ndlltI
was off their hands and that only me
board of public works would hereafter
have to wrestle with it for the next llNe
wears or maybe ten. The ten-year
clause is included in the specifications
because it is believed that better
price may be secured by giving % con-
tractor a ten-year lease than for i've.
If this proves to be the case a ten-yedr
contract will be made.
The specifications which were finally
adopted bv the council yesterday con-
tain the two clauses that certain cltl-
zens have been fighting for several
wears. One is that the garbage must
be disposed of at least five miles from
the city limits which viii preclude the
establishment of hog pens under the
very noses OF Les Angeles citizens, and
the other that it must be collected from
the back lots of residences and not
from the front yards as is now the un-
slightly custom.
Hotel Man Objects
John W. Mitchell representing the
Hotel Mems association, tried to induce
the council to change one feature of the
specifications that require hotel and
restaurant men who take care of then
own garbage to give a bond of $1,000.
Restaurant men sell their garbage to
hog breeders and derive little profit
from this by-product.
They are to continue to enjoy tins
privilege provided they file with the
board Of public works a bond of $1,000
as a guarantee they will live up to the
provisions of the ordinance. Mr..
Mitchell told the council that the res
tauaut men should not be compelled
to give bonds, but that the garbage col
lectors who hauled this private garbage
should give the bond The city attor-
ney declared this method was not
feasible Mr.. Mitchell intimated that
the bond would probably stand i'm the
way of several hotel and restaurant
men disposing of their garbage pri-
vately and that the city would have to
collect it.

Small Foes Most Destructive.

From the Cleveland Leader.
In one Of Herbert Wells brilliant stor.
les the terribly scientific and practically
invincible Martians who have invaded the
earth and conquered England are stop
ped In the midst of their victories and
utterly destroyed by the attacks of mi
croscopic foes. Infinitely small organ
tsms. germs Of diseases to which man
has become in some degree immune. slay
the wonderful warriors of q planet never
invaded by these earth foes. What the
greatest battleships and the heaviest guns
could not do the unseen and unknown
living seeds of death accomplish.
More clearly every day the world un-
derstands that in the life and affairs OF
mankind the most deadly and destructive
foes are extremely small. All Of the
fierce mammals and poisonous serpents
of Africa do not kill as many human
beings in ten years as the tsetse fly Stays
In one. The tigers and cobras OF India
kill their thousands every year, but the
rats which spread the germs of the bu
bonic plague destroy their tens of thou
sands. In this country the common house
fly undoubtedly causes more deaths than
all the venomous snakes. wild beasts,
mad dogs. runaway horses and ill-tem-
pered bulls. ten times over. The actual
proportion is probably much higher than
ten to one.
