In an effort to induce the Board OF
Public Education to establish a school
for Negro children elsewhere than at
No. 222 West street, petition, signed
by about rs residents Of that neigh
borhood. protesting against the loca-
ton of the school there, was pre-
scented TO the board at it's meeting last
night. The petition was received
without comment and referred to the
body as a committee of the whole.
The petition stated that there are
not in that neighborhood Negro fami-
lies enough to warrant the board in
establishing school for Negro chill
dren there. and urged that some other
location be found. II was stated that
property values would be lowered.
The contract for supplying text
books for the coming year was award

YREVOKECOhTRACT
OF SANITARY COMPANY.
Board of Health and Council
Members Dissatisfied With
Garbage Collections .
LOTS MUST BE
CLEARED OF WEEDS

The question OF garbage collec-
tons" was before the Board OF
Health at the meeting yesterday af-
tornoon and il was intimated that the
present contract for collections OF
garbage by the Wilmington Sanitary
Company, which has two years to
run, may be revoked. Councilman
Williams. OF the Twelfth ward, was
present, and discussed the matter
with the health officials. Mr.. Will
liams favored a plan of having the
collections made by the Street and
Sewer Department, while DR.. S. C..
Frederick, president OF the Board of
Health, thought that the collections
should be made by the health depart
ment.
It was agreed that the Wilmington
Sanitary Company, has not lived up
to its contract. The agreement en-
tered into between this company and
the city calls for three collections a
week during the summer months. It
was said that these collections were
impossible with the present equip
ment of the company. The entire work
OF experimenting the collections, Il
was stated. rested on one superinten-
dent, whereas it would require at least
six men to attend to the collections
properly.
One point brought out was that the
rate the city pays for collections has
increased and the service has grown
worse. The contract with the vii.
mington Sanitary Company still has
two years to run, and from the spirit
shown yesterday, it is likely that the
contract will be cancelled and means
found TO collect the garbage as II
should be collected.
II was alleged at the meeting that
the Sanitary Company would be glad
to be relieved Of it's collection obli-
cations as it did not want the jot
anyway, its principal interest in the
matter being the garbage itself
which has by-products and is treated
at the company's plant on the Chris.
tiana.
The weed problem was brought III
and all the executive officers report

are still many lots where weeds meet
