whether too many are used en1clency
demands that complete record De
kept of the work the garbage coilec-
tors do. Daily reports should be MADE
out by each driver, and submitted TO
the mayors cabinet each month.
Every driver should be made respon-
sible for all complaints from the dis
trict in which he works. But there IS
no such rule in the garbage collection
service. One wagon has small dis
trict to serve in the central part OF
the city and it requires less than
half a day to make all the collections
in this territory. The remainder of the
day this wagon is stationed at the Gre
matory for emergency purposes. 1t re-
! spends to all calls for garbage collec-
tions which will, Creamtory Superln-

stationing an emergency" wagon at
the crematOry.
It can be safely said that not half
the work each garbage wagon driver is
! capable of doing per day is obtained
by the city.
Crematory Too Small.
Because the capacity of the one fur
mace at the crematory cannot handle
in the summer months half the supply
of garbage makes the garbage collec-
tion work all the more inefficient.
Much of the time two wagons could
have been devoted to collecting gar
bage on their districts the past sum-
mer was taken up hauling to two far
mers garbage which could not be re-
duced at the crematory.
Health Officer Davis frankly admits
that the crematory cannot perform
half the work expected of 1t during the
season there Is the greatest amount OF
garbage-the summer months.
The haphazard method of preparing
the city budget for this year is respon-
sible for this inefficiency.
The budget provided an appropria-
tion of $4,000 for enlarging the plant,
but last spring the board of public
works found it necessary to resort to
fund Juggling" at the expense of the
necessary improvement at the crema-
tory In other words the $4,000 for en-
larging the crematory so that it could
handle all the city's garbage was plac'
ed in another fund. for which toe
small an appropriation had been made
in the budget.
The budget for next year contains
no appropriation for the crematory i'm
provement.

CABINET MEETINGS
MERE FORMAL|T|ES
UNDER SYSTEM NOW
(Continued from Page One)

this work falls on the city controller,
the mayor and the president of the
board of public works.
Each department chief is called in
so that he can make an estimate of
the probable expenses of his depart
ment for the ensuing year, and their
estimates are, as a rule, excessive. For
instance, this year Street Commission
er Gem asked that $4,000 be appro-
priated for the 1914 payroll of his de-
partment. 1t was finally cut down to
$4,000, although the payroll of the
Dayton street department last year to-
tailed only $4,000.
If the budget makers at least had
the advantage of written monthly re-
ports of all departments they could
go about their work in a little less
crude fashion. But there have been
very few such reports submitted this
year at the mayors cabinet meetings,
and the only monthly report the coun-
Gil receives are those of the light plant
superintendent and the meat inspec-
tor.
Necessary Data Lacking.
AS a result of this inefficient sys-
tenn in the conduct of city affairs the
work of preparing a budget, one of the
most important functions of municipal
government, depends for the most
part on a comparison of preceding bud
gets and guessing as to what the ac-
tual expenses of the city will- be the
following year.
Not only is the method of budget
making as now tolerated careless and
inefficient to the extreme but the man
agement OF some OF the important de-
partments is so loose as to be ridicu-
lous if 1t did not affect so vitally the
welfare of the community.
What business concern in the city
employing men by the hour would con-
slider for moment any plan for pay
ing the men which did not provide a
record of the number of hours each
man worked?
Not one. it can be said without fear
of contradiction.
But this is precisely the method
which obtains in one branch Of the
department of public health.
Collection of Garbage.
The garbage collecting service is un-
der the jurisdiction of the health de-
partment. There are two one horse
garbage wagons and four two horse
wagons. The drivers of the two small
wagons each receive $3.50 per day
each receive $3.75 per day. Supervis
ion over their work has been delegated
by the health officer to the superin.
tendent of the crematory, but this Of
fetal in his reports to the mayors
cabinet, and it will be noticed he is
the only deparement head who has
submitted written reports to each OF
the nine meetings held this year, only
notes the amount of wet garbage and
dry garbage burned. Not a word in his
reports about the number of Wagon
loads gathered or the number of hours
each driver has worked.
The men are paid by the day and II
