formulated the committee estimated that
an expense fund of at least $1,000 would
be needed. The enormous extent to
which citizens have provided for the re-
moval from their own premises, however,
has made Necessary the hiring OF but
few teams, thus greatly reducing the
amount of estimated expense. The COM
mittee notified Mr.. Edison this morning
that the appeal for funds should be dis
continued.
Donations to the fund received since

Cooperation Effective.
The discontinuance Of the appeal for
funds means that the cleanup crusade

zens have given the undertaking every
cooperation by cleaning up and paying
for the removal of, as far as it lay within
their power so to do, refuse on their
own premises.

a big increase has been noted IN the

Difficulty Not Expected.

TWO teams donated for the purpose to-
Gay were sent out by DR.. Murray to re-
move trash collections in the northwest,
northeast and southeast sections Of the
city. Volunteer workers have reported
nearly 100 places where trash has been
deposited for collection. The use of fif-
teen teams has been donated by business
firms for removing rubbish, and, with
teams. it practically is certain there will
be no difficulty in providing for the re-
moval Of all waste material collected.
Despite unfavorable weather yesterday
volunteer workers reached every section
of the city. At the headquarters Of the
volunteer committee, in the Associated
Charities Office, this morning they re-
ported that the campaign is being waged
with enthusiasm in every part of the
District, and that number of alleys WIS.,

prior to the arrival of the volunteers

With the approach of the close of the
campaign. citizens are looking forward
with interest to the meeting, next week,
of the central committee. when plans will
be discussed for making permanent the
beneficial results achieved by the cam
paign. 1t is said to be not unlikely that
the committee will indorse the Commits
sioners' plan to have all ashes. garbage
and refuse handled by the District gov
eminent, rather than under the contract
system now in vogue.
That municipal reforms are more than
likely to grow out of such campaigns as
the one now in progress was illustrated
up undertaking. in 1893. Members Of the
community believe that no opportunity
connected with the present crusade which
could be crystallized into a permanent i'm
provement should be overlooked. The
Commissioners plan may be said to ap-
peal to many of them as being the prin-
ctpal opportunity.
Washington's crusade in 1893 was car
ried on principally by means of house.
toulouse inspection, conducted by inspec-
soAS VI Tic ClStilSt Hcdilu ucpdTtIQCnL, an
appropriation for the purpose having
been made by Congress. The work was
inspired by fear of the spread to this
country from abroad of cholera.
Results Of Crusade.
Whether or not the improvements that
followed may be attributed directly to
this crusade, the fact remains that fol-
lowing the house-to-house inspection and
enlightenment Of the public in the I'm
portance of municipal sanitation, provi-
| sion was made for the filtration of the
city's water supply. milk regulations and
compulsory sewer connections. 1t is said
that the crusade was, in a way, the fore
runner OF legislation for the condemna-
ton Of insanitary buildings.
In addition to considering improvements
ashes, garbage and refuse matter that
the central committee may look into is
one dealing with the private alley prob
lem. According to recent statistics, there
are in the neighborhood of 1000 private
alleys In the District. It has been stated
by the health officer that the problem OF
keeping them in sanitary condition Is
one Of the most difficult with which he
has to deal. 1t Is not unlikely that the
committee will consider the advisability
OF recommending the abolition of private
alleys and their dedication to the public

mand for them Is as great as ever. Ac-
cording to DR.. William M. Davidson,
Superintendent Of schools. the pupils OF
the public schools still are engaged in the
work OF cleaning up the premises where
they reside and are bringing in daily the
cards which certify this fact. When all
the cards have been returned and counted
1t is believed that at least 10000 private
