WOULD AMEND THE
TRASH ORDINANCE
1t Has, Since Its Passage %
Years Ago, Lost Its
Effectiveness.

BY an amendment to the old trash
ordinance passed in 1887. an attempt
will be made by the municipal gov
ernment to meet conditions which
have arisen in the twenty-three years
which have elapsed since the original
ordinance was passed.
This move has become almost an
absolute necessity for the FIRE and
police protection of the peoples
health and for the general safety and
convenience of the public.
Originally it was found convenient
to place trash boxes, both for gar
bage and ashes. on the sidewalks or
sary to amend this ordinance SO that
it will be violation to keep ashes or
garbage on streets or in alleys. This
debris must be kept on the property
of the residents.
Alleys are SO congested with boxes
and barrels that the fire department,
patrol wagon and city ambulance have
great difficulty to drive through On
Sayler street the police report that
ashes are thrown on the street
Another amendment should, accord.
ing to Acting City Attorney Jessup,
regulate the number of loads of ashes
or trash taken out during one week.
Some Of the local hotels have been
asking that load be hauled every
day. IL the amendment is adopted
these hotels will be forced to pay for
having this debris hauled away.
Many persons have been in the hab-
it Of dumping hot ashes into wooden
boxes and in a number of instances
fires have resulted. Provision to reg
ulate this will be made in the new
amendment, according to the board of
works.
