10 PIG. FARM FOR CITY.
Aldermen Believe That First Cost
would lie Too Grcnt.

At an adjourned meeting OF the board
OF aldermen. held Tuesday eve. 70 take
action on the matter OF collecting and
dispensing OF city garbage, city Health
Officer Dalton was instructed to receive
bids for the collection Of GARBAGE by
districts. 1t Is planned to make five or
six collecting districts and n person may
bid on collecting from u single district
two districts or the whole number of
districts. This action was taken so that
the city fathers may know how cheaply
the work may be done, If they find that
it Is ZOO expensive they will have the
RICH; to reject all bids and to adopt some
other means.
DR.. Dalton gave n report on the matter
of the city collecting its own garbage
and disposlng of IL by means OF a pig
farm. lie said that II would require six
or seven wagons and horses. with as
MANY men. There would also have to he
much equipment. II would take at least
10 hogs to dispose of the 81 rbaCc, pro-
vdinS the hogs ate three good piygish
meals a day. and II would also necessi-
tate the building OF pens and sheds to
house the swire.
The members OF the charity commission
he said. would consider the plan If the
poor farm seemed favorable to such
work. while the superint endent thought
that tho soil was not suited to such a
purpose. He estimated that II would cost
S. 900 for the city TO start such an under
taking. While this method would not be
self supporting II would probably be
cheaper than contractor would bid BY
this plan tin cans. old shoes and such
truck would be gathered and sorted and
disposed OF at a profit
Most Of the aldermen. however, thought
that the above plan would be too e3
pensive an undertaking and advised the
making of bids. which was adopted.
WATERING THE PARKS
Mayor Burke stated to the board that
the grass in City Hall and Battery parks
was burned and that it ought to be
