GARBAGE TO BE
REMOVED CHEAPLY
UNDER THE PLAN or THE PRO-
POSED ORDINANCE REeULAT-
ING THE REMOVAL or CITY
eAR5AGE-cosT WILL BE VERY
Low TO CITIZENS OF FARGO.

Under the plan that will be pro-
posed under the new city ordinance
which win regulate the garbage situa-
ton in Fargo 1t is expected that the
cost of the removal OF the refuse will
ne very cheap. In talking to a repre-
sentative Of The Forum this morning
City Attorney Shure outlined some of
the salient points that will be covered
by the garbage ordinance.
The garbage field will be divided into
nve classes. The main class will be
tnat known as kitchen garbage. There
VIII be another class which will cover
the disposition Of dead animals. A
third class viii be that of ashes. The
fourth class will be made up of tin
cans and other trash and the fifth
class will be manure.
The disposition Of the kitchen garb-
age is OF course the main object Of
the ordinance. 1t is proposed that
each householder in the city shall pay
to the city auditor. or some other
Official of the city as shall be desig-
mated, the sum of 81 a year as his
garbage assessment. This amount viii
go into the garbage fund, and it Is be-
lieyed that 1t will be sufficient to care
Tor the cost of all garbage removal.
1t is planned to let the contract, for
hauling of the refuse by bid. 1t is
estimated that two wagons will be
required to cover the field in the resi-
dence and down districts. These teams
can be paid for out Of the garbage
rund and the citizens will be at no
expense other than the 81 per year to
have his kitchen waste removed.
In the residence district it is pro-
posed that the removals shall be made
once every two weeks, and oftener
than this II necessary. In the down
town district the removals will be
made as frequently as Is demanded,
except at the large hotels, where it
IS understood, that they will continue
10 handle their garbage problems in
The same manner that they are now
loing.
The kitchen waste is to be kept
n air tight receptacles according to
ne terms of the ordinance. The
householder will keep a closed tin can
n his alley and always have the lid
'emafn on this receiver. SO as not
o attract any flies 1t is one of the
aims of the ordinance to prevent the
Increase of flies in the city.
The other forms of garbage mem |
Toned in the ordinance will be taken
are or In some other manner. The
emoYal OF the dead animals will be
made at the expense of the city. The
,ost or the removal of tin cans, dirt. |
rash and manure will have to be
aiken care of by the property owner |
u the tenant. This field is rather i |
different one from the ordinary kitchen
waste garbage and the only way that |
mere can be just tax for everyone |
n the city is to have this taken away
Independently. The city garbage man
AN be employed to haul away this
lind Of refuse, should the citizens SO
lesire, but the latter will incur the
expense of the same.
The new ordinance that is about to |
re proposed is expected to work Won
lers for the city in the way or improv- |
ng the sanitary conditions.
The ordinance will be presented at
n early meeting of the city council |
nd City Attorney Shure is now at /
york preparing 1t. However, it is of |
UGH purport that it will be some time
efore the city attorney will have 1t
eady for the consideration of the
ouncil.
