ton of Ashes, Garbage
and Paper.

With his first automobile garbage
cort and 125 wagons, Joseph Marrone,
the new city scavenger, did excellent
work today Kidding the city of its
garbage.
Twenty-Five wagons from New York
were added to the clearing force,
which made big Roadway under the
direction of J. Milton Kennedy, the
expert, whom Mr.. Marrone has placed
in charge of the local situation.
Just when officials and contractor
alike were predicting that before
nightfall the regular collection sched-
ule would again be in effect new OBJ
stacle was met. Alderman Maurice
H. Walsh. representing residents in
Mum avenue, opposite the dumping
ground, south of Electric Park, pro-
tested against continuance of the
dumps to Chief Health officer David
Chandler this morning.
After hearing the complaint a con-
| ference was held with DR.. Herman c.
H. Herrold, president of the health
board; William Murtha, representing
Marrone. and Mosquito Exterminator
John w. Dobbins.
While it was admitted that there
was more or less stencil in the sum-
mer none could gainsay that this
annoyance prevailed at this season
of the year. and the contractor prom
| ised to have the two acres filled be-
fore April. The filing is abolishing a
n hHpR61nQ
place, and of the two evils the health
and mosquito men told Walsh they
should choose the lesser.
You won't find doctor in this
city that will declare the dumps det-
rimental to health said Mr.. Chan
dler to the alderman
Mr. Murtha expressed willingness
to use only clean ashes in the filling
and to cover it. with dirt. Mr.. Dob
bins said he was ready to put two of
his men on the job to oversee the
dumping, so anxious was he to rid
the Vailsburg section of its ''skeeter"
producer. Despite these promises Mr..
Walsh insisted that dumping stop,
because he claimed the previous con-
tractors, L. ]. Buckley & Co., had not
lived up to its agreement to keep the
dumps sanitary. He said some threw
a load of fish heads on the grounds
the other day.
A long argument did not convince
the protestant that dumping could
be regulated satisfactorily, and at
| the end, Mr.. Chandler declared it
would be permitted. Mr.. Walsh sar-

Ger as "the Gar" The health officer
| calmly replied that his duty was to
serve the best interests of the entire
! community and in sanctioning the use
of the Vailsburg place he was doing
that rather than trying to please a
few DIRECTORS.
| At the end of the conference an in
| spection of the grounds was decided
upon.
Prohibition of the use of this place
would mean handicap that would
| hinder the scavenger from cleaning
up the Vailsburg section, inasmuch
as it would compel longer haul for
| the carts.
| 1t was announced at the local head
quarters of Mr.. Marrone that the new
system of garbage collection soon to
be inaugurated will keep the city
clean. 1t is planned to place bags al
every house so that discarded paper
may be put into these and prevent the
mixture of paper with other refuse.

Marrone, declared it would be neces.
