GARBAGE CANS FILLED
 TO OVERLOOKING IN
 WARREN STREET BLOCK

Of the numerous recent complaints of consolidation of garbage, one of the strongest comes from residents of Warren street in the block between Prospect street and South avenue. Not since the latter part of last week. say these resid dents, have they seen the garbage wagon.
 There has been no garbage collect ed at our house for nearly a week. said one of these residents today. There are four families in our house, and the garbage cans are filled so that we have to press a barrel into service. The same conditions. prevail elsewhere in the street.
 While it's true the garba ge co11ec- lions have been slack, all summer, they're worse now than they have been any time before. If som ething isn't done pretty quick everybody in the neighborhood will be sick. The stench in the back yards is getting pretty bad, for the garbage cans are overfowing."

Central Committee will call primary
election to select Senator Davis sue
cessor for the full term, and that the
action of the voters in the primary
will afterwards be endorsed by the
