 On this committee there always many divergent opinions One man thinks stenographer should be paid s1O month less than she is receiving; o.her feels that there is $1OOOOO difference way the other in the requisition for public work The $10 item usually occupies much of the time and aten tion the committee does the s1OOOOO feature and is te cause just acrimonious debates and bad feel ing.

This proceeding ally takes least half of the time of regular legisla tive session.

OIL OR TAR HURTS GARDENS
Warning Against Use Of Street Sweep
ngs as Fertilizer Given by Uncle
Sans Specialists.

Those who use street sweeplngs to
fertilize gardens should avoid waste
that contains oil or tar. Either Of these
substances is harmful to plants, spe-
cialists in Uncle Sans department
Of agriculture warn. Sweepings from
tarred pavements or oiled roads are
likely to contain them. Oil dropplngs
from motor cars often mix with such
waste, also. If sweepings are collected
with some care and before rain or wa
ter from street sprlnklers have reached
them and washed out the elements Of
fertilizing value, they can be used ad-
vantageously.
In connection with the spread Of the
city gardening movement, the depart
ment Of agriculture believes a warn
ing in regard to oil and tar damage
should be given. A specialist in the
bureau Of chemistry cites an instance
Of damage done to garden near Sill
YER Springs, Montgomery county, Mary
land, on which unsorted street sweep
ings from the District Of Columbia
were used. This garden, according
to the specialist, was ruined by the
tar products in the fertilizer, and II
was necessary to remove the top soil
and resurface the entire plot with new
soil.
