HOW TO SOLVE THE GARBAGE
- pRORIFM

nN ITS surface the bid of the Penn Re.
" duction Company for collecting the
garbage seems outrageous. The present
contract is for s565.256. The new bid is for
s724 900. or an increase Of s14s744,
There is less garbage to collect because
the people are wasting less food than for.
merly. 1t would seem as if the company
should be willing to cart away the smaller
quantity for a smaller sum- We are told,
however, that the amount of marketable
fats that can be recovered from the waste
Is so small that the profit from reducing
the garbage has virtually disappeared. We
are also told that the increased cost OF
labor increases the cost of collection.
We may admit all this without justifying
the present system of garbage collection.
Some other cities are paid by contractors
for the privilege OF collecting the household
waste, but it has been impossible TO induce
Councils seriously to consider making an
attempt to introdIse here the system in
vogue in those cities.
Some other cities also make long-term
contracts with the reduction people. This
was proposed here under Mayor Blanken-
burg, but for reasons best known to the
politicians it was rejected. If il had been
adopted contract made under normal con-
ditions would still be in force and the tax
payers would not be called upon to pay
the Increased cost which seems likely to
be saddled upon them next year. The five
year contract which was proposed would
have opened the door to competition, for
Il would have assured whatever company
tlA nf ht,g,
period long enough to justify building a
reduction plant and would have enabled
1t TO get market for its by-products.
When our city business is conducted on
business principles a contract for at least
fve years will be awarded to garbage
collector as a preliminary to a still more
economical system of disposing of the
waste. We can have such system when
ever we care to take the trouble TO insist
on it.

L the war industries in this district which
should show the needs of the 900 different
contractors in the way of men and ma.

Ernest T. Trigg, the regional adviser of
the War Industries Board, set about the
task and had it completed within ten days,
or at the rate of ninety different con.
tractors a day. Organization and system
did 1t. prodded on by realization OF the
Importance of speed.
Now that it has been demonstrated
what Philadelphia can do If it tries, 1t is

with which it has hitherto conducted its
