has used an ex-policeman to flash his
star before the timid gaze of the house
wives, who are thus. compelled to bring
out their garbage cans. He moreover
charges that the present garbage master
hires out his teams to the city. Added
to this, Mr.. Wallweber is inclined to be-
lieve that Justice Caldwell is being aided
and abetted by Mayor Trainor.
When shown the charges Justice Cald-
we'll said when work has been slack in
cold weather l have hired out my teams,
as 1 have a perfect right to do, whether
to the city or elsewhere. AS far as hav-
ing a police officer is concerned l will
say that I did hire former policeman
who came to me soliciting work Why
should there be any need of intimidating
people into getting rid of their garbage?
There's nothing to it. In all my dealings
with the city and others 1 have the stubs
and checks to prove that 1 have dealt
squarely and just by everyone"
Wallweber formerly owned the garbage
contract and after the sale of the same
is said to have regretted the bargain.
Judge Caldwell has just bought a new
pair of horses to be used in doing the
work Of his contract with the city.
