NEW SYSTEM OF
ASH COLLECTION
MAY BE OPPOSED
Anticipate Residents Will
Not Agree to Place Cans
in Front of Homes
COUNCIL TO ACT SOON
Special Session Tomorrow
Night to Make Plans For
Waste Removal

With Council considering plans for
municipal ash collections, residents
OF the city are expressing themselves
as opposed to one of the proposed
plans which will require them to
place ash and garbage cans in front
of their homes along the curb on
days for collections. While it was
said that wherever possible the cans
would be placed in alleys to the rear
of residences, the property owners, it
is believed, will fight the move.
Council will meet in special session
tomorrow night with the health bu-
reau officials to make preliminary
arrangements for the municipal COL
lections. The proposed system of
having the ash cans placed on the
curb will be discussed then.
Commissioner Samuel F. Dunkle,
under whose supervision the collec-
ton work is now being done, stated
he was not prepared to say which
system he favored.
Will Cost More
"Other large cities require house
holders to put the cans on the curb
in front of their homes on the days
the collectors are in the district" :"
Mr.. Dunkle said. "If the people of
Harrisburg do not want this, think
it only fair to them to give them es-
timated costs both of collections from
back yards and rear alleyways and
also from the curb. 1t will undoubt-
edly cost the city much more to col
-lect from the rear under the present
system, but if this is retained the
residents absolutely must cooperate
and it will be up to the city to en-
force stringent rules compelling
householders to use proper recep-
tacles and keep ashes and garbage
separated. From what have learned
of the situation L believe the resi-
dents should come in for share of
the blame as we'll as the reduction
company because of conditions which
developed during the last few years" +"
Commissioner William H. Lynch,
superintendent of the highway de-
partment, declared he is decidedly op-
posed to any move to require house.
holders to place cans in front of their
homes.
"Under no condition will I ever
favor this system. 1t is going back
to the old way of doing the collect
ing work and Harrisburg doesn't
want to go back. If the city makes
the collections, the city can also see
that the people cooperate, and there
should not be so much trouble. Har-
risburgers aren't educated to the
curb system and 1 don't believe
would want to use It,"

Riga Russas principal Baltic port has been abandoned to
Germans the threat of offensive by land and
which deciding the land side delivered by
the Germans last Saturday.
The fate of Riga virtually sealed when German troops
powerfully initiating their offensive forced crossing OF the
Dna southeast of the city and began push northward after
making good their oothod the right bank of the stream
Menaced also by the attack of column of Teutonic forces
moving from Mau southwest of Riga and by the German naval
forces recently reported lowering the vicinity of the Gulf of
Riga the Russian military authorities evidently considered the
city no longer tenabe and decided to evacuate it.

May Adopt System

Commissioner Gross in speaking of
the problem said he believed the city
will eventually adopt the new sys-
tenn because of the great expense
which will result when municipal
collections are made should they use
the present method of removing
waste from back yards. He pre-
dicted the cost will be three times
more than if the waste was collected
from cans placed to the rear of
properties wherever possible.
Acting Mayor Gorgas was out of
the city to-day and his opinion on
the plans for the collection work
could not be learned.

and getting st. Peter and other

CONFEDERATE VETERAN
TAKES OWN LIFE

Bridgeport, Ala, Oct 16.-
Despondent in some way j. M.
McNeely, a member of the Jack
son county, Ala, county county
court, and a Confederate veteran,
took his own life last week in a
tragic manner. His home is near
Bryant, three miles from Bridge
port, and shortly after eating din
ner he handed his daughter a
sealed letter, telling her to open
it later. He left the house TAX
ing his shotgun. His daughter
did not wait but Immediately
broke open the letter and found
in it instructions regarding the
disposal of his estate after his
death and becoming alarmed sum-
moned her husband. K. A. Scut-
ter, and together they followed
him but not in time to stop him
from his rash act. They noticed
he had gone in the direction of
the barn but as they gained the
door a shot rang out and rushing
in they found him lying in his
blood. He had turned the gun
against himself and pulled the
trigger. He was 70 years old,
and leaves an aged wife, a son
and four daughters. 1nterment
was made in the Bryant cemetery.
He fought on the Confederate
side during the entire war. He
was highly respected and up to
his last moments was apparently
in good health and mind. 1t is
thought he was temporarily de-
ranged. He served four years as
a Jackson county commissioner.
