GARBAGE REMOVAL.

To The Forum: / would like to say
to the citizens of Fargo, If we are
to have a garbage ordinance + believe,
that we ought to follow the pattern of
the eastern cities for it is certain that
they are better posted by experiences
than the small new towns in the west
In the east we find both city and priv
ate garbarge companies. If anyone
fails to take care Of their garbage the.
city takes care of it for them, and the
individual or landlord pays for same.
The only way that Fargo can handle
the garbage question is to make each
person ply for the hauling Of their own
garbage.
Fargo today has about 500 families
who hire their garbage hauled. while,
the majority Of the people burn all
their kitchen garbage. Those who are
having their garbage hauled and those
who burn 1t, keep their yards and,
alleys In good condition, but those who
don't want to pay so cents per month
to have their garbage hauled Is the
class that would like to have the city
draw their garbage. There can bel
nothing more fair than each Individual
to pay for the hauling or their own
garbage: Last sumrne there were
about thirty-fve families that failed
to keep their alleys clean.
I believe that the city should get some
good man to look after these allevs|
and yards and put him Under bonds.
SO that he will look after his business
and excuse no u W. "A, Baker.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Evsnina Grain Letter.

Chicago, April 19.-The market OPEN
ed strong and so continued throughout
the session with very slight set-backs
which proved only temporary. The
basis OF the advance was the con-
tinued bad reports concerning the
growing winter wheat crop, confirna-
ton coming Of serious damage west
of the river, particularly in Missouri
Spring wheat markets continue to
show the strength evidenced during the
past three days. The evidence GEMS
to be accommodating more and
each day of serious curtailment in the
probable yield OF winter wheat, n
while, doubtless, the advance may be
rather rapid at times, thereby IL
ing temporary setbacks, we are strong
ly of the opinion that the trend is to-
ward a distinctly higher level Of values.
