ASH CATERERS
ARE ON THE JOB
Big Force Of Workers Will
Clean up Town This
Week

in an effort to clear the city Of the
ashes that have remained uncollected
since tho Christmas storm, Street Com
missioner Frank Pierson yesterday sent
out q double teams and 81 men and took
away the ashes in most Of the First dis
trict. which is east OF Washington and
south of Eighth streets.
To-day a big forcfe cf men with 40
wagons is clearing up the second district,
east OF Washington and West Of Eighth.
Mr.. Pierson said this morning he expected
20 take up all the ashes in the city this
week.
Mr.. Pierson says the fact that the ashes
are frozen makes the colectilon extreme
" difficult, and he desires attention called
to the regulation requiring that ash re-
ceptacles must be covered during cold
weather. Under this regulation the de-
partment is not required to remove ashes
that are frozen. Mr.. Pierson is waving
the rule at this time, however but it is
necessary to destroy many receptacles In
which ashes have been frozen solid.
It cost the Street and Sewer Department
more than $500 to remove the snow in
the business district. according to MIR.
