ONE Of our correspondents. whose letter
~ appears on this page to-day, finds ii inn
possible to understand why daily collections
of garbage would increase the burden now
placed on the city incinerators. To this cor

That. we confess, is view. Per-
haps what the Superintendent OF the Street
Cleaning Department meant that If the
garbage is left long enough in householders'
yards. they will throw it into the alleys or
streets, or get rid of il in some other way
that will save the department trouble. Or,
perhaps. having started on the road to de-
composition, it reaches the end OF that mall
odorous journey before the collector comes
round.
