DISCUSS new CITY
GARBAGE SYSTEM
Officials Talk of Methods,
But Fail to Reach Def
mite Conclusion

DR. Julian Adair. president of the
Board of Health. Secretary J Austin
Ellison and City Engineer Alexander
J. Taylor last night held a conference
with the special committee which was
appointed by President White. of City
Council, TO look into the matter of
securing a better garbage system for
this city The committee consists
of Councilman Draper, chairman; Mr..
Slower, Mr.. Williams. Mr. Kane and
Mr.. McGoldrick. The conference was
held TO enable them 20 outline their
plans of procedure.
II is not known at this time wheth-
er this city should have a crematory
or an incinerating plant; whether the
location of the crematory is the
proper one or whether 1t should be
elsewhere. whether the present sys-
ten of collecting garbage is the right
one or whether the curb stone col
lections should be enforced as is
done in some cities. The officials
are in doubt as to whether it would
be advisable for the city to do its
own collection or whether private
contractors should do it.
While the present contracts do not
expire until next May there is much
work to be done in the way of max
ing plans and preparations for the
changes which it is admitted will
have 10 come.

One OF the best methods for q
competitor to use to advance his real
standing in the Telegram's $4,000
Prize and Travel Club Campaign, Is
to make use of the great voting value
OF extensions. By this Is meant the
second or third payment by the same
subscriber during the campaign.
For instance. Mrs. A. gives COM
Ipetitor B. subscription for a year;
later Mr.. A. gives a candidate, either
B. or G. or some one else, subscrip-
ton for another year In addition tc
the one she has already paid and in
the same name. That second pay
'ment is an extension and the compel
itor who receives 1t Is entitled to a
special issue of votes as follows: II
the first subscription paid by Mrs. A.
was new the second one will be new
also, and as there would have been
IA, 400 regular votes due on the to-
tai of two years subscription, and as
only 400 were given on the first
year. there are 5000 regular votes
to be issued on the second year.
The same principle applies to five
months subscription extended to q
year to to five years. and 1t works In
the case Of both old and new sub,
scriptions.
Thus tits seen that second pay
ment from the same, subscriber Is
worth more to a competitor than a
payment from another subscriber
During the early part of the cam
paign many people subscribed for a
short time with the idea that they
will find out whether they are going
to like the paper BY explaining the
value OF extensions competitors can
