Of public works reported to the village
council at it's July meeting yesterday
afternoon that during the month OF
June 1904 was expended for the colleC-
tion OF garbage. Members of the
council We're dismayed at this enor-
nous cost and it was decided that
this expenditure will have to be cut
considerably or some change in the
present system will have to be made.
Mayor Hartman expressed the opin
ION that the city of Escanaba, which
has a population of 1900, spends but
$500 per year for garbage collection
and he could see no reason why the
cost should be SO large in Houghton.
The bill was passed after a lengthy
discussion. but the sanitary squad was
advised that in the future they will
have to cut down the expense. In or
der to accomplish this end the garb-
age collector will call but once in a
fortnight.
The report OF Village Assessor Ma
rion was read and showed that all
other improvements have been coll
lected TO date and that the special
assessment fund contains 1921 to date.
This money was ordered transferred

gave the following facts:
Some leaves and new shoots on the
apples are beginning TO turn brown

lower end az the affected parts will
usually be found covered with a brown,
sticky fuid. This fluid is the diseased
sap which escapes through the bark
and contains millions of germs which
are carried from limb 10 limb and 10
neighboring trees upon the feet or
bodies OF insects and birds. This is a
bacterial disease which, because Of its
rapid spreading under favorable
weather conditions. is commonly
known as Fire Blight, the leaves and
shoots appearing as If suddenly snged
by fire.
Bacteria cannot be seen except un-
der a high power microscope, but what
they lack i'm size they make up In

temperature conditions over l6.o0O.ooo
