The florists OF Washington believe that

every five years In case of new con-
tractors, this money is spent in construc-
ton of new plants and in the purchase of
new equipment, but if previous contrac-
tors are again successful in obtaining the
contracts. this amount Is added to their
profits. Whenever "a new contractor su-
persedes an old one the new organiza
tion must be trained to this work. and

preached another contractor succeeds to
the work and another organization is
broken in.
washington is wasteful city on ac-
count of having a large transient popula-
ton, living in hotels. apartment and
boarding houses. and patroniZing many
restaurants, the permanent residents
averaging above the standard of living
elsewhere. The amount of garbage col
lected is reported much higher than in
other cities. and 1t is doubtless much
richer in the qualities which produce the
revenue from the reduction process of
disposal. This revenue goes a long way
toward paying the cost of collection and
might be made to pay for it entirely.

GARMENT WORKERS IN RIOT
Several Persons Injured and Ar

PHILADELPHIA, November 22.-An-
other outbreak occurred here today
among garment workers who have been
on strike for sereral months and before
the trouble was over several of the par
ticipants were beaten and eight of them
were arrested. The trouble started when
a squad of policemen escorted four work
ers from q garment factory. A crowd of
strikers and sympathizers tried to reach
the four workers and a fight started in
which fists were freely used on the police
Reserve policemen were soon on hand
and free use of clubs enabled them to
control the situation. No. one was seri-
ously hurt in the fight. though several
of the prisoners needed the service of
physicians to dress their wounds. Among
the prisoners, who were given a hearing
in the night court and held, was q woman.

expression of public opinion regarding
the proposed improvement.
The committee has received from j. W.
Paxton. superintendent of the street
cleaning department. lengthy communi-
cation favoring municipal rather than
contract is to build disposal plants of its
waste. The communication, in part is
as follows:
THE first consideration is the general
characteristics of the kind to be let to
contract. IL it is decide dthat the Dis
trict Is to build disposal plants OF its
own-work which it has never done be-
fore and would not have occasion to do
again for years to come-Obviously the
best policy would be to request bids
from contractors who were regularly en-
gagged in this class of work, having spe-
cial equipment and trained organization
which had been accumulated and de-
veloped in doing previous work of this
character and which would be used in a
similar capacity in the future.
Could Train Organization.
On the other hand, if the kind of
day, year in and year out. it is possible
for the city to acquire plants and equip
ment which would be used until re-
newals Were necessary. and to obtain
and train an organization much better
being a permanent organization, as
compared with the life of any contract
or contractor. Street cleaning which has
der the contract system belongs in this
class. and the collection and disposal
of city wastes should evidently be in
cluded also.
If the city can do this work then it
seems Unnecessary to pay profit to a
III Ia yiNt
to 20 per cent or more, these being
largely labor contracts on which it is
Customary to figure a large percentage
of profit.
In the collection of this class of ma
terial the wagons are scattered over
an area of seventy square miles. and to
find any particular collector in the net
work of streets and alleys is like look
ing for needle in a haystack, so that
the inspection and supervision is very
difficult. The controversy must main
tain an office force and foremen to con-
duct the work. and the city must also
maintain similar office and inspec-
tion force to see that payments are
made and the service rendered accord
ing to the specifications: whereas. only
one overhead charge of this character
is necessary where the city is doing
the work directly.
Requirements of the Law.
Ine pfeSent law requires that con
tracts for THIS service shall not be let for
periods exceeding five years. To acquire
disposal plants and collecting equipment
for city of this size necessitates the ex-
penditure of hundreds of thousands of
dollars, which become useless to con-
tractors at the termination of their con
tracts, unless they are enabled to secure
similar contracts for succeeding terms or
dlSDDSp pUIlinmpnt
to the next successful bidders, an ele-
ment of risk the contractors are not war
ranted in taking.
1T is probable, therefore, that Wash
ington has been paying for complete dis
posal plants and collection equipment
