Garbaee and Rubbish Question.

Injustice and ineauity are inflicted
by the Thomas W. Burke garbage
franchise, which the city council
,tsonbtIes did not intend to exist or
which in consideration of the fran
.chise that body may have overlooked.
namely, the prohibition Of the haul
ing of rubbish, boxes, trash and the
ike, except by Mr.. Burke, or his
agents and assigns. This Injustice
Is found in the fact that ten or fiji
teen residents of the city OF moderate
means, who have made a livelihood
the last aevekal yeaEs in hauling
boxes and the like, are thrown out
of employment, a great hardship in
flicted upcn them without just
grounds. an American right taken
away from them without just cause.
Anyone should be privileged to
haul boxes. trash, rubbish and the
like. collected within the city. to the
crematory, where it should be receiv-
ed by the city and burned. The city
authorities should take such steps as
to provide against this right being
taken away and made exclusive. 4
IT would be just as unfair to say by
law that only certain persons should
haul trunks and 5the like as it is to
IarfGiertake 10 give the right to haul
boxes. rubbish, etc, to one many only
or to grant exclusive right in that
InarticlIlar 1888
Is So far AIS the hauling OF garbage
alone is concerned, there should be
regulation and sealed wagons or re-
ceptacles should be required in which
10 convey it. The man who houls
rubbish and boxes does not necessar-
ily have to haul garbage, but if he
does he should be required to CON
form to such regulations as will not
menace public health.
AS it was not the intention OF the
council to bring about such in1us-
lice as the Burke franchise will IN
Ifltct. if it is operated as law. the city
authorities should take immediate
stems to remove the great hardship
ruhbish haulers have suffered the last
few weeks. The Telegram believes
hat such steps will be taken and that
tho Ngarba GO, feature will be separated
and treated soley as a measure LOOK
ing to the protection Of health. AS
matter of public protection the. city
authorfties Will be fully justified in
fxtng prices for both garbage and
rubbish hauling. The rates named in
the Burke franchise are not unreas-
enable. Mr.. Burke's equipment Is
good and doubtless he will use dill
gence in the work The rates. howev-
er appearing as they do on the city
records in the form Of franchise are
scarcely fundamental law.
The question Of justice and equity
should obtain in this matter and 50
long as tho city does not establish
