inside the city limits is a considerable
area Of low lying land which at pres
ent is put to no use. The city slopes
continuously back from the river, so
that all hauling toward the river from
all parts Of the city is downhill.
The amount of garbage at present
collected in the city is found to
amount to fifteen tons or less per day.
For the purpose of collection the city
is divided into seven districts, each Of
which is served by one wagon.
Such being the conditions found, Mr..
Alvord considered the methods en-
employed elsewhere to determine
which would be best adapted to the
local conditions. When a community
is quite small the disposal of the ashes
and rubbish usually presents little diff
ficulty, as they may be used for filling
low places, grading up streets and
other purposes Of a like nature. Con-
sequently population as we'll as local
conditions and opportunities requires to
be considered.
The primitive methods employed in
smaller cities are stated to be feeding
to swine. fertiliZing. remote dumping.
dumping in rivers, dumping at sea. etc.
More scientific methods are burial on
dumps. cremation, incineration and re-
duction. The first of these is describ-
ed as being more sanitary and less
offensive than any of the methods
called primitive. although it is itself
a very simple one. The proposition is
to bury the garbage by depositing it
on low ground in layers and immedi-
ately covering it with al equally thick
or thicker layer Of fresh earth.
Mention has already been made of
the lowlands along the river bank.
which are well away from any in
habited or residential districts. More
over, these sites are fortunately own
concluded that there was no doubt
whatever but that burial in layers on
this land is the method of disposal
which should be followed at present
until these facilities have been ex-
hausted or the growth of the city has
rendered them out of the question.
The city, on Mr.. AIvord's recon-
mendation, began carrying out this
method of dumping in layers on the
river front. The city employed four
men to herp unload the garbage wag-
ons and TO cover the garbage. the
total COST of the labor being SIS 10 nay
day. After being unloaded the wagons
are thoroughly washed out with water
by the drivers. An inspection Of this
site during comparatively hot weather
this summer. . hen offensive conditions
would be most likely to exist. appeared
to show conclusively that the disposal
was being carried on substantially
without offense and was proving salts

WOMAN and THE
CITY BEAUTIFUL
Civic Improvement a New Field
For Her Instincts.
IT HAS WORKED WONDERS
Communities All Over the Country
Have Been Benefited by Tree Clubs
and Town B~etterment Societies-It Is
Woman's Natural Bent.

There is a new field opening for
women as factors in civic improve
ment. Women have always set tie
moral and aesthetic standard in the
community in which they lived, AND
when they once get into this new field
of making u cities more beautiful
q field which is really closest to their
natural bent-they ought to accomplish
wonders, says j. j. Levison, forester
Of the borough Of Queens, New York.
Their confined life Of former years
gave them no chance to demonstrate
their fitness for this sort Of work. But
today new interest in outdoor life.
together with new social relations. is
bringing u the wonderful aesthetic
and moral qualities that have been so
long diverted from the problems of the
city beautiful and are now demonstrat.
ing a woman's superior fitness to
do much in this new field. The in.
stances where women have helped to
improve their cities with trees are
numerous.
In Brooklyn it was ONE who or.
ganized q national city tree associa,
ton and who started the first tree clubs
among school children in this country.
The women Of Rome, N. Y, formed a
civic organization and collected sutfi,
cient funds to care for their trees all
the year. In less than a year they
have demonstrated the value Of their
work and are now influencing the city
authorities to appropriate sufficient
funds fo- the preservation and planting
of their city trees. In Morristown, n.
j., the same thing occurred. 1t was a
Massachusetts woman who founded the
first Improvement society in the United
States. About ten years ago womel
formed. a civic improvement associa
ton in South Park, Chicago, and within

would give protection to his herring traps
He exhibited a miniature fish trap and
explained the situation in detail to the

Henry Tarr of Bristol opposed the bill
and accused Captain Dram Of being Il
farmer instead of a fisherman Three
men like him he said. would occupy the
whole of Johns hay with their traps
Tarr on cross-examination said he was a
porgy seiner and was away from Bristol
all summer. zr..
Lincoln Parsons of New Harbor said
that he was a blood relative of Oram's.
but the bill was unjust because it took
the bread and butter out of the mouths
of the fishermen. He didn't want herring
for bait, but sinners. At this point Sem
ator Pendleton Of the committee asked
MI. Parsons what a sinner was. and his
reply that they were Just like kiacks"
didn't seem 10 enlighten the committee
much

ated into highly personal argument be-
tween Captain Dram and his kinsman,

money with his traps and he wants to
get it out Of us poor devils declared Mr.
