MARRONE BLAMED
FOR C|TYS FILTH
Health Board Finds Scayen-
gers Force Has Neither Eff
ficiency Nor Cooperation.

4 lack of efficiency and cooperation
on the part of the employees of Jo-
seph Marrone, city scavenger, is
blamed for the present street eondi-
tons in a report which was submit
ted to the Board of Health last night.
The report. which was made by the
sanitary inspectors, divided the city
into seventeen districts
Householders are blamed, in many
instances, for the conditions because
Of their failure to properly separate
the ashes and garbage. On the whole,
however, the blame is placed on the
shoulders of the contractor.
This report, with considerable other
data, will probably be submitted to
the Board Of Works at its meeting on
Thursday.
Because OF lack of funds the
recommendation of the hygiene and
social ethics committee that the sal
airy OF DIR. Harrison MARYLAND city
pathologist, be increased $1,000 a
year. was referred to the finance COM
ynlttet. DIR. MARYLAND at present re-
>eeives a yearly salary of s1,500 from
the City Hospital appropriation. The
increase was recommended in view
of the fact that IL is planned to place
MIN at the head of the city dispensary.
Before final action is taken con-
ference will be held with the finance
committee of the Common Council
with a view of securing an additional
appropriation for this and other eS-
ara work contemplated by the board.
