LAW AGAINST DUST
Thinks Use Of Open Ash Cans
and Carts Should Be
Ended at Once.
BRUERE WANTS CHANGE
Tells of Study Of Dustless Sys-
tenn AbrOad-Has Ex-
perimented Here.

George McAneny, President Of the Board
Of Aldermen, and Henry Bruere. City
Chamberlain. said emphatically yesterday
that Immediate steps should be taken
toward having covered as cans and ash
carts to end the nuisance Of flying ashes
Mr.. McAneny said that in his opinion the
present method Of using open carts was
in violation Of a city ordinance
II certainly want to have the ash cans
and the ash carts covered and thus abate
. nuisance that should have been ended
long ago." said Mr.. McAneny at the close
of q meeting Of the Board Of Aldermen
II am chairman Of the committee ~on
streets Of the Board of Estimate that
has under consideration a plan for the
disposal Of refuse and the reorganization
Of the Street Cleaning Department. This
plan cannot be adopted without an amend
ment of the city Charter permitting the
city to mate a fifteen year contract for
the handling Of the ashes and other
refuse.
However, there is no necessity for de-
laying the matter Of covering the carts
That should be done at once. OF course
Q thorough test should be made OF the
different methods 20 as to insure tho selec-
ton OF the best and most economical for
the city.
