CITY WILL SELL GARBAGE;
MAYOR FAV0RS ECONOMY

needed and his statement Monday
that the city was considering the
purchase of more property adjoining
the city property, is evidence OF the
interest and consideration to which
the city fathers have committed
themselves.
The garbage question. by which
the city is placed between two fires
that of the demand by the govern
ment that South Bend cease burning
its garbage and the lack Of funds TO
construct a plant TO extract the by
products OF table refuse, was prac-
tically the sole subject of the ad-
ministratiOn conference in Mayor
Carson's office Monday morning.
Mayor Carson also stated Monday
morning that he and his appointees
are seriously considering the lease
Of purchase of the property adjacent
to the city hall property for the pur-
pose OF erecting a coliseum. The
funds for this purpose must come
out Of the city or from popular sub
scription.
No Reduction Plant.
The garbage question seems 10
have resolved itself into the sale of
all refuse, such as ashes, cans, bot
ties and garbage TO some one who
Will haul II away or build a plant
here to dispose Of il and secure the
by-prOducts.
I'VE must determine whether we
will contract for the disposal Of the
garbage alone" said Mayor Carson.
"or the garbage and other refuse and
then ask for bids and award the
contract to the highest bidder"
Mayor Carson fatty refused 10
cause more expense attached TO the
operation OF the city machinery by
building a garbage reduction plant.
The only alternative left 10 the city,
according to Gilbert Elliott. presi-
dent Of the board Of public works
and Dewey Layton. street commits
sioner is 10 contract with some firm
to remove the ashes, bottles and
other refuse from the city, as well
rs the garbage. and pay the city
at least what IL is now costing II to
remove garbage once a week from
homes. or $4,000 yearly.

AND EGGS
OR SKUNK, WHICH?

Dear Editor Democrat: While was
reading The Democrat of last week
came to heading that made my blood
boil. 1t read like this, Hunters Are
Warned, and it goes on to say the sea-
son for capturing fur bearing animals
has closed and the game warden warns
hunters and trappers that a violation of
the law will not be tolerated. A convic-
tion on charge of killing these animals
means fine of SIS and costs. The trap
per is blessing to the farmer, and we
need them. The more the better.
don't trap, but wish to say to Mr. Game
Warden that skunk and musk rat have
both been holed up since the middle of
December and it has been zero weather
ever since. From that time up until
now have only seen one skhuk track,
and he made for my neighbours barn,
only waiting for his hens to lay so it
could suck the eggs. Now these devils
have all been kept over for next summer
to suck the farmers eggs and kill his
little chickens, and sometimes big one
also. l wish to inform Mr.. Game War
den, whoever he is, he must come and
take care of his skunk if he wants them
to live. If ona of these stinkers makes
hlhSSll ldHllldI any llInG dIOuuu my
premises, and my neighbors take the
same view, they are dead skunk, for we
will kill them. We want eggs and
skunk. If / lived along a
ditch the muskrafs would get the same
treatment in season and out of season.
They would not fill up a ditch of mine.
1 don't believe in protecting anything
that will do the farmer harm, and the
skunk and muskrat both harm him. We
have plenty of proof that they do. So,
Game Warden, let me say to you, if you
want these pets, please come and take
care of them or we will kill them as occa-
sion requires. believe in good laws and
want to obey them. first, last and all the
time. But such threat is hot air. It will
not stand Supreme Court.
Yours truly, LEWIS H. SUHR.

a resolution asking that no priority

Ohio families were advised to lay
in next winters supply of coal at the
earliest opportunity. It is safter to
do so in the spring than to wait until
summer, it was said. Unlike last
summer, there Is no prospect now of
cheaper coal at any time, it was point
ed out, and therefore no reason to
wait.
Administrator Johnson declared
the situation this winter has been
due to the breaking down Of the
transportation system. "FuelleSs
Mondays, priority orders and embar-
goes all are pure bungles," declared
Johnson emphatically. "They may be
the only way out Of a situation, but it
is a bGngled makeshift way. They
mean that in order TO permit coal to
be moved, some industries must shut
down. Closing Of industries isn't con

BREWERY SCHEME
BEING EXPOSED
[Uhriehsville Chronicle. i

The American Issue calls attention to
a stunt that is being played by the brew
ers. A paid agent of their organization
has been stationed in Columbus. He is
sending out over the state to men who
are likely to be selected for members of
the Legislature. He has private inter
view with each that comes. They are
instructed to profess to be dry-oh, yes,
of course. They are opposed to the sa-
loon and would like 10 see the liquor
business wiped off the face of the earth.
oh, surel But-and then they are to ex-
plain that just at this time il does not
seem opportune to meddle with the
measure. The war, you know-it might
stir up i'll feeling. 1t might do great
amount of damage in alternating the 10y
atty of workingmen, ETC., etc. Some
time they would be willing to vote that
way, but-well, not just now. It is a
very clever ;scheme, but it won't fool
but wooden-headed office-seek-
ers, and that kind the people do not
want to represent them in the state leg
islature. The thing to do is to require
a public and unequivocal statement from
every candidate for membership in the
general assembly, and refuse to vote for
any one who fails to respond satisfac-
torily.
