unless a rigid enforcement of the ordi
nance should be maze, and all house
holders absolutely prohibited and pen
allied for throwing matter of any de
scription whatsoever in the alleys
compelling each householder with the
view of locating responsibility, to find
space on his own lot near alley en-
trance for garbage, ashes and tin
cans, which could be removed by the
city as heretofore at the public ex
pense.
MANY cities require each house
holder to assume the burden of per-
sonally removing such articles every
few weeks. The aggregate of such ex-
pense to individual householders would
be manifestly many times greater than
the cooperative plan of carting them
off at the expense of the general fund.
AS such enumerated items of refuse
are produced by every single house
holder in the city. there is great JUS
tice in. using the general fund to pro-
vide for their disposal; still such items
as tin roofs, broken furniture, trim
mings from trees, and excavations
from cellars and stable manures are
the city, in fact ARE produced only by
a small percentage of the household
ers-it is just that the disposal of
such articles should be assumed en-
tirely by the producer.
1T must be manifest, then, to every
thinking person that in order to in
augurate a satisfactory and just sys-
tenn, it will be necessary for the COM
missioners to promulgate strict regu-
lations concerning the character of the
refuse that will be gathered up and
disposed of at the general expense.
That such items as garbage and ashes
and tin cans should be deposited by
each householder in the rear OF his
own lot and not in the alley, and each
item should be kept separate so as not
to make the burden of their disposal
upon the city too expensive. The rea-
son being that IL garbage is kept in
one. receptacle, all the garbage can
be carried of together, and that if
ashes are kept in another receptacle,
whenever a load of ashes is accumu-
lated, 1t can be taken off and used by |

particularly upon members of the Ro

sumed the responsibility of promoting
campaign for greater cleanliness.
I'm our Investigations and in our
discussions with the city commission
ers it soon became manifest that two
systems of cleaning are in vogue in
different cities, if they may in fact
be called systems. One is systematic
annual or semi-annual cleaning, the
other is a continuous performance 60
ing on every day in the year by well
organized and efficient force of a few
men.
1T was readily admitted that the
latter system was by far more efficient
and less expensive, but when we urg-
ed the commissioners to adopt the lat
ter system, we were confronted with
the matter of expense. 1t appears that
the daily and continuous plan would
call for no greater annual expense than
the present spasmodic system. But
it must be remembered that a thor
ough and general cleaning of the. city
has just taken place, costing the city
something over $4,000, and after now
appropriation, it would be impossible
with the money left in the appropr:a-
ton for street and alley work to IN
stall and carry through the year the
continuous system. Likewise the
same difficulty will confront the city
next year and, in fact, each succeed

sometime, and somewhere is found

street commissioner an additional
fund of $4,000 to take the place of the
