''SPOTLESS TOWN"
LAW GETS SETBACK
Councilmen Fear Prohibitive Cost
of Receptacles, and Order
Measure Tabled.

Councilman Umlaufs "spotless town"
measure, although recommended unan-
imously by the Ordinance Committee.
ran upon unexpected reefs at the meet
ing of tho Common Council last night
and after debate of more than half
an hour was ordered tabled and printed
TO enable the Councilmen to consider
IL more carefully than was possible at
the time.
The patron urged its passage at once
on the ground that it supplied needed
reform in the garbage disposal laws.
and in doing so worked no hardship
upon the citizenship. Its adoption, he
said. would make for a cleaner city
and would simplify the work of the
street Cleaning Department.
Councilman Huber took exception to
the provision which requires every
householder to install at his own ex-
pense one or more metal receptacles
for tho reception of refuse. To insist
upon this requirement, he thought,
would impose hardship particularly
upon the poor. He was ready to vote
for the ordinance. he said, If 1t were
amended TO make the city furnish the
receptacles.
Opposed by KatcIife.
The most serious objection was of
fered by Councilman Radcliffe. who
thought that to compel every house
holder TO save up in his back yard, in
rcceptacleS OF his own providing. the
garbage and refuse that accumula ties
between visits of the Street Cleaning
Departments wagons would result in
a condition Of unclcanliness worse than
that which obtains now. The small
force at the disposal OF the Street
Cleaning Department. he said, makes
collections so necessarily infrequcnt
that to wait for its removal service
would mean that many householders
would have to provide themselves with
from six 10 dozen of the rcccptacles
described in the ordinance. He was
unwilling to vote for the measure in
its present form.
Councilman Mills said he was in
favor OF the spirit and intent of the
ordinance, but gave IL as his convic-
tion that the cost of the metal recep-
tacle described would cause the law
to be generally violated. The can. he
estimated would cost from $3.50 to
So 50a price which many people
would object To paying. MIR. Mills
moved that the ordinance be laid on
the table and printed to enable the
Common Council To act upon il more
intelligcntly at n later meeting

print was: Aycs-Atkinson. HaddoD.
