Commissioners Arrange with
Wilson /. Brown to
Cover Village
NEW PLAN WILL
BEGIN MONDAY
All Wishing Services of Mr.. Brown
Should Notify Him at Once by Tele-
phone-Refuse Must be Kept in Gov
cred Receptacles.

The village commissioners have
closed deal by which garbage in the
village will be collected regularly This
arrangement goes into effect next Mon
day.
Wilson l. Brown, who has been en-
ployed at the Estey Organ plant some
time, resigned his position there Sat
urday, and has undertaken the work
Of collecting garbage in the village
at regular intervals from all who no
tifv him that they desire him to do so.
Not only will he collect swill, but
where cans, broken bottles and crockery
are placed iii separate receptacles he
viii take those.
While the commissioners have ar
ranged with him to make collections
there is no intention on their part to
prevent those who are engaged in that
work privately from continuing it. Mr.
Brown, however, as well as the others.
must collect all garbage hereafter and
convey it through the streets in closed
metal reeeptacles. The time when gar
bage collectors may drive through the
village streets with garbage dumped in
to the bottom of leaky wagon or into
leaking barrels uncovered will have
passed in a few days. Those who col
lect garbage who desire to continue to
do so must conform to the new rules,
which are only those that make for
better health conditions.
Mr.. Brown lives on the West River
| road and has telephone so that any
| one who is not satisfied with the way
garbage has been collected may call up
Mr. Brown and he will arrange 70 col
| leet it. He plans 10 do this work
mornings and will divide the village
into districts, taking a certain section
on certains days of the week, and by
| so doing arrange for all collections at
| stated intervals.
The others who are engaged in col
| lecting garbage, calling at here and
| there a house on Il street, will he ask
| ed to include all houses on such streets
| or drop those streets from their routes
| as Mr.. Brown would not have time t.
go a considerable distance for the pur
| pose of making a collection Of gar
| bage at some one house.
/ The commissioners are satisfied that
the arrangement as perfected will b,
| the most satisfactory of any the vii
| lage ever has had. From time to tim,
| it may be necessary to make some mod
ifcations and changes, but for the pres
ent the arrangement as given here
with is that under which Mr.. Brow
and the other independent collector
will work
Householders will be required to kee
their garbage in metal containers wit
cover on each.

Tes short of war, which, while not
being a declaration Of war on the part
Of the United States might so be con
strued by Gen Huerta.
According TO the best informed Off

until toward noon.
