COUNCILMEN
IN CONFERENCE
FOR FIRST TIME
Refuse Collections Discussed
by New Members; Plan
Another Survey

One of the most important confer
cnces in connection with Harrisburg's
plans for ash and garbage collection
after next February was held yes
terday afternoon at the City Health
Bureau Offices.
All the members of the City Coun-
Gil, Commissioners elect Fred l.. Nor
genthaler. Charles w. BURNETT and
DR.. Samuel F. Hassler; members of
the Health Bureau; Louis l.. Tribus
and Courtland c. VanVechden, of the
firm of Tribus and Massa. which
made a survey of the ash and garb-
age collection situation here early in
the summer; Edward P. Bailey, of
the American Surety Company, bond
ing the Pennsylvania Reduction Com
pany. and members of that firm were
present to discuss the plans for next
year.
Study Problems
In the survey report by Tribus and
Massa 1t was recommended that the
city collect and dispose of all ashes
and garbage. Because of the increas-
ing shortage of labor and materials
in case 1t would be necessary 10
build new plant for garbage dis
posal, the conference was called yes
terday to give all the parties inter-
ested an opportunity to make sug-
gestions of what the city should do
when the present contract expires.
The commissioners-el were called
in so that they could familiarize
themselves with the situation which
will be partly in their charge for the
next two years.
1t was finally decided to have Mr..
Tribus and Mr.. VanVechden make
another study of local conditions
with view to modifying the former
report and giving the city officials
an opportunity to make the neces-
sary provisions in the short time re-
naming until the present contract
expires.
To Repart Again
When this report will he completed
could not be learned definitely, as
Mr.. Tribus stated to-day he will first
make another study of the conditions
existing at present and then retul n
to New York before making any def
mite suggestions.
City officials are confronted with
not only the problem of providing for
municipal ash collections, but also
municipal garbage collection and the
question now before them is what
method of disposal will be best.
While a bid was received for garbage
disposal only. Commissioned Dunkle
states in Council recently he had re-
iectcd 1t and would probably read
vertise for proposals.
1t was then decided to have the
conference of city officials. including
Council and the Health Bureau to-
gethor with the newly-elected coun-
cilmen and the experts making the
survey, to have a complete discussion
of the sitlation.
Tho four methods of disposal were
outlined briefly by Mr.. Trlbus, and
of these the incineration plan was
practically abandoned. That there
will probably be no action by Coun-
ell until dehripe statement IL re-
Ceived from the New York experts
was the opinion OF officials to-day.

TIPS TO COLLECTORS
DISRUPT SERVICE
[Continued from First Pagc.1

[Continucd from First Pagc.1
where ashes and garbage had been
placed in receptaclcs ready for re-
moval while the drivers pounded the
doors of two other houses where they
were paid and then proceeded with
out stop down Second street. 1t
developed that this particular con-
tingent were visiting houses where
they were tipped for doing the work
for which they were already paid by
the contracting company"
Work Only For Tips
One of these drivers made this
statement: Il make from 50 to $3.50
extra every day and these fellows
who won't take the jobs don't under
stand what the job is worth"
This same chap was asked to re-
move the ashes of house which he
had passed in order to get to the
places where he was paid extra and
declared that he would be back in
two or three days. Ten days have
elapsed and he has not returned.
So long as the people stand for
this sort of thing they will get no re-
lief. Instead of paying these men for
doing the work that the city has al
ready paid for, citizens generally
should make complaint to the De-
partment of Health. DR.. Raunick
states that where the Reduction
Company does. not collect the ashes
and garbage he will do so with an
extra force and charge the cost to
the contractor.
Attention has been called frequent
ly to this tipping and lunching graf
uity which has led to much of the
trouble, but unless rigid inspection
is provided the abuse will continue.

All Street Signs

Within the next few weeks all the
signs posted along city streets warn
ing motorists to run slowly, giving
the speed limits and other notices

Lynch, superintendent of the High

of the signs which had been posted
for years have not been repainted
and the warnings to alItoists are al
most covered by dirt and dust. 1t is
probable that additional signs may
be placed at various points such as

STERLING WOULD HAVE
LAWMAKERS PAY TAX

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 24.-The
treasury department has not yet made
q ruling concerning the provisions in
the last wsr revenue law Which is held
by some to exempt senators and rep
reseLtatives from the payment OF tic
excess profits tax. In order to ri:ake
1t certain thai they would rot he cX-
empt. Senator Sterling has introduced
q bill providing that the law in ques-
tim shall not be construed 10 exempt
senator's and representatives from
sunll tax.
III explaining his bill, Senator Stcrl-
in5 stated that there is a general i'm
preston that representatives :nI SEN
ators are. under the revenue law, cX-
cmpt from the operations ri the in
come tax provided for by the law of
1917. lie said that this impression is
u mistake as there is nothing in tile
law whatever which cxempts them
from the regular income tax. II is the
clause dealing with the excess profits
tax only about which there ,;an lie any
dispute. The discussion which fol-
lowed the introduction of Senator
Sterling's bill indicated that there was
no intention on the part of senators
in passing the war revenue bill to
evade paying their share of the taxes.

Columbus resented this unfairness
and resolved to go to Spain. In the
meantime he sent his brother, Barth-
olomew, with the same proposal to
Henry VII, King of England, while he
journeyed to Spain. But the meg
senger to England was robbed By
pirates during his Journey and was so
reduced in circumstances that it was
not until three years later that he was
able to gain an audience with the king.
He was successful In interesting the
king in the project, but Christopher
was prevented from coming to Eng
land to carry out the project. Had he
reached that country England instead
Of Spain would undoubtedly have had
the honor of discovering the new land
to the west. Although Columbus was
exposed to ridicu1e in Spain and his
ideas were scoffed at by the large ma.

should be outfltted in Spain. Finally
