HAARER PLANS GARBAGE
STATION FOR EAST SIDE
Has Already Picked Location,
But Is Keeping 1t Secret For
Present, Fearing Protest.

In connection with the controversy
that has been waged over the new
city barn for horses used in the gar
bage collection service. which is 10 be
erected at the foot OF Twenty-fourth'
St. IL transpires that Public Works
Commissioner Haarer is working on
a plan 10 provide an east-side garbage
receiving station in the immediate
future. This explains why the com
missioner wants smaller barn than
the twostory affair the mayor and
the sanitation committee OF the Board
of Commerce have tried 10 insist on.
With the establishment OF another
receiving station on the east side, II
will be necessary 10 quarter the
horses there, too. and the commits

taken there and thence transported

II is VI to the Detroit Reduction
Co. which has the contract for dis

the commissioner thinks, and while
the company has not agreed TO do

view of the threatened suit by the
city 10 cancel its contract for failure

for in hat contract. This plan will
greatly facilitate the collections, for
il will mean shorter haul for the
wagons ia no less than 20 east-side
districts.
Commissioner Haarer is not pre-
pared, as yet, to make known the 10
cation of his prospective east-side
station. He doesn't want TO take any
cnance on stirring up opposition to
the location before the arrangements
are completed. He insists, however
that the residents of the vicinity will
have nothing TO complain about, for

garbage IN such a manner mat there
will be no odor or any other objec-
tiouable features

There has been a good deal of talk
about the manner in which Clifford
Pinehot was received in Alaska. In
that country Pinchot overshadows
two presidents He is regarded as
the embodiment OF the conservation
policies. These policies are three
fold, viz:
demand for strict compliance
with the law governing entries OF coal
land, with the result that the Cunning
ham claims were thrown out and not
one single other claim granted, up to
this time.
Withdrawal Of remaining coal
lands from entry.

These measures of conservation, fol-
lowing swiftly upon each other, inter
rupted and virtually destroyed one OF
the most glittering speculations that
ever got started. They defeated the
Guggenheim plot 10 take over about
one-eighth of the Boring coal field at
one fell swoop. They nipped in the
bud a wild orgie in Alaska COAL that
would have put California OIL and
Nevada gold to shame. And many
of the Alaska coal claims, II granted,
would have been valuable for stock
selling purposes-and for nothing else
