walk Obstruction Fight.

William B.. Connolly, of l.. J. Buckle,
& Co., the city s~cavengers, was directed
by the Board of Works yesterday after
noon TO have the men employed by the
company to collect garbage, ashes ant
refuse paper to keep the refuse
separate. Former Commissioner Win
ton c.. Garrison had complained that
neal his residence in Washington ave-
aus the scavcnger men had collected
garbage, ashes Ii paper and dumped
them together into one wagon, when
was a violation of q city ordinance.
Commissioner William Mungle charg-
ed hat favoritism was shown by the
street department. in the serving OF
notices to remove sidewalk obstruc-
tions. He said:
Il have received a number of COM
plants from people in all parts of the
city about the time that has been given
to some n OF that to others. l find
that in certain sections of the city only
five days notice was given, while 9TH
ers have been allowed thirty days, with
an extension of thirty days more. Why

General superintendent Shipman said
in some cases the distractions could
not be removed in five nor ten days and
in these cases he had to give an extern
sion of time.
Il know of storm doors that were
ordered removed a month ago" Mr..
Mungle said. and the doors arc in
place yet. while the street departments
men ripped off other storm doors after
the five days notice expired. That is
not right ard it should stop. as one
person should be just as good as the
other. There is a case that I call to
mind in Clay street, where the sidewalk
has been INSTRUCTED and no attempt
has been made to remove the obstruc-
ton"
After Public Service Again.

the Public Service Corporation remedy
conditions at the -Four Corners, where

caused tho tearing of shoes from
horses.

with Public Service officers about es-
tabiis1ing stations at places in the
city where street %sweepings can be
collected in the day time ana taken
away at night on fiat cars.
Mr.. Eggers denied a story that the
board took friends on a Joy ride to
the watershed at the expense Of the

state thai the members are willing to
work only seven hours a day so idle
