DAYTON SOLVES
GARBAGE MATTER
SATISFACTORILY
Collections Are Regular and
Waste Is Disposed of
With Surplus
Especial to the Telegraph)
BY MARTIN KEET

dayton, Ohio, Sept. 8.-If hun
dred-odd cities of America watched
Dayton's recent fight for good city
government for any one special rea-
son, it was because the winning of
the peoples cause meant the con-
tinuance of the present system of
collection and disposal of garbage.
Harrisburg, Pa, and score of
other cities of the country are facing
q grave garbage question to-day and
the method which Dayton had en-
ployed so successfully has directed
attention to this city.
During the recent primary cam
paign in which the people of Dayton
by vote of practically to 1 de-
cided to continue to eliminate parti-
san politics from the conduct of its
municipal affairs some illuminating
data as to just how the Gem City of
Ohio operates and expends Its citi-
zens' tax dollar was presented to the
public. Other cities studied this
educational campaign too, and it
Is significant that the discussion of
the garbage problem received more
attention, perhaps, than any other.
Provides Surplus
For, under nonpartisan admins
tration of the city manager. Dayton
has collected and disposed of its gar
bage in such a way as to provide q
comfortable surplus during the past
year. The collections are made reg
ularly and the offal is disposed of in
a plant provided for the purpose
near the city.
The statement of City Commits
sioner A. 1. Mendenhall. one of the
candidates for denomination on the
nonpartisan ticket, made during his
campaign throughout the city, is par
ticularly significant in this respect.
1t deals with the garbage problem.
Dayton" declared Mr.. Menden-
nall. mot only collected and disposed
of its garbage in a proper manner
at a profit to the municipality, but
the indications are that during the
coming year it will be able to realize
enough, through the sales of grease,
etc, to maintain the plant through
out the year and to pay entirely, or
almost entirely, for the collections
throughout the CITY,"

BARGE 767 STILL
HELD IN ICE PACK

Bath, Dec. 13.-Lighthouse tenders
Hibiscus and Zizania, accompanied by
the tug Seguin of the kennebec Tow
boat Co, made another attempt today
to release Lehigh Valley barge 16',
loaded with granite from Hallowell Tor
an Atlantic port, which has been i'm
prisoned in an ice pack in Merrymeet-
ing bay since Monday.
They broke out the ice which sur
rounded the barge and have changed
her location slightly SO that they hope
to be able to release her by Friday
on the high tide about 1 o'clock.
Two anchors are out to hold the
barge in position but on account of
the depth of the ice, difficulty may be
experienced in getting them up as they
are below the ice and if difficulty in
this respect is experienced, it may be
necessary to slip them and mark them
with buoys SO that they may be re-
covered next spring when the ice goes
out.
