INC|NERATOR May
NOT Be INSTALLED
Many Objections to Locat-
ing it in Various
Sections.
R WARD A
NOT TO BE K
Some Believe City Should
Cease Hauling the
Garbage.

Unless the incinerator can be To-
Gated in a place suitable to all resi-
dents Of the city, it probably will not
be installed and Grand Forks people
may have to hire their WI garbage
hauler.
This is the attitude of the board Of
health, as expressed by City Auditor
Alexander this morning.
At an informal meeting Of the
health board Saturday afternoon, resi-
dents of the First ward appeared and
made complaint against locating the
incinerator at the rear of the pump
house. Among those who appeared
before the board were: F. 3. Feet
ham. Tracy r. Bangs. M. F. Murphy,
+, Nelson Kelly, ]. G. Hamilton and
j. H. McInerney.
AS a result Of the protest, the board
gave up the idea of locating it In that
section.
The general opinion Of the mem
beers, Mr.. Alexander states, is that
the agreement for the installation OF
have been complaints against locating
it in other sections.
The board of health is having con-
siderable difficulty over the garbage
question. Several months ago, farm
ers in the vicinity Of the dumping
grounds. located about two miles west
/ OF the city, served notice that they
would mandamus the city If they did
not remedy conditions. Since then.
tho garbage has been buried in
. trenches. five feet deep and fifty feet
long. This has improved conditions
greatly, but still Is far from satisfac-
tory, It Is said.
The board members, it is said, do
not feel that the abattoir location is a
suitable n for the ~incinerator.
Unless suitable arrangements can
be made. some believe the city should
cease hauling the garbage and let the
residents dispose Of it in the best way
possible.
At the meeting Saturday the board
ordered all garbage haulers to o n

M|DLAND'S LOAN
FALLS THROUGH
War Results in Cancellation
of Proposed So, 900
Loan for Extension.

Bismarck. N. D., Aug. 31.-The
European war will prevent the extern
sion of the Midland railroad into
Grand Forks as contemplated. Bruce
Ismay, n Of the heaviest stockhold-
ers in the roads, and we'll known in
connection with the sinking Of the
Titanic, had arranged a loan Of ST.
100000 to build the extension.
This loan was to have been execut-
ed on a Monday in London. The Fri
day before, however, war broke out
and the loan of course could not be
negotiated. 1t is likely that the ex-
tension will be delayed indefinitely or
until financial conditions adjust them
selves.
Speaking before the board OF equal
iation, General Maxwell made this ex-
PLANTATION. He denied that the road

Harkins arrived on the scene about the
time the chauffeur did, and the five of us
went over all the details carefully. 1t took

deaf to details and all eyes for Miss Dorothy,
That was how got the idea that Sam Har-
