cHIcAGo'S GARBAGE CAUSE OF
ANOTHER ARGUMENT

ANU TEX AKGOMEN
Twice have the people of Chicago
decided they want to operate their
own garbage plant and voted bond
issues to do it. And now Health
Commissioner Robertson again re-
wives his proposition of leasing the
garbage plant to private company.
In past years hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been drawn
from the citys garbage in the shape
of grease. This grease contains val
liable oils and has greatly increased
in price since the war. The city
thought it was going to start to make
money when it ordered DR.. Robert
son to operate the degreaser and the
rest of the plant
Then suddenly DR.. Robertson
thought of something. He sent out
the bureau of fire prevention to see
if it was safe to operate the plant.
The bureau reported that a large
quantity of gasoline was stored there
and that it was unsafe =. this hap
pened when the city was about to
open up the plant. The bureau new
er made a report regarding this while
private company pulled down fat
profit.
Dr. Robertson's letter told the al
dermen he didn't like the wording
of the council order directing him to
sell commercially-dried garbage for
not less than 1925 a ton. He said it
put him in the light of favoring a
policy which is going to lose the city
$4,000 in eight months.
"Who told the fire prevention bu-
reau to investigate on the eve of the
city operation of the plant?" asked
Aid. Merriam. eff it is contrary to
law for the city to operate the plant
then it certainly would have been a
violation of the law to let some pri-
vate concern operate it."
Dr. Robertson was told of Aid.
Merriam's question after the council
meeting. After challenging Aid.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-Despite the fact
that most fans are Of the opinion that
McGraw's redhot statement in the last
week of the National League season,
charging his players with indifference
IN the last Giant Brooklyn serien, Is
