of the receptacles had fallen in the
street. and had been left there. A
strict provision of the scavenger ordi-

tacles must be covered.

conditions did not prevail under the
old contract The new agreement
practically terminated the existence
or private scavengers, as residents
saw no necessity for employing them

remove the refuse from the rear of
houses. Mr. Grain thinks this fact
has something to do with the garbage
falling Into cutters.
Just what he proposes to do the
police head was not prepared to saw.

structions issued that the scavenger
laws must be strictly enforced.
