HOT night WRANGLE
over GARBAGE BILL
Contractors Charge For
Service Under Questionable
Contract, Up Again
COUNCIL OPPOSES
ANY SETTLEMENT

The much disguised garbage question
will be discussed by members Of City
Council at their meeting as' a commit
tee OF the whole tonight, and again at
the weekly session OF Council tomor-
row evening. when the bill submitted
by the Board OF Health last week for
the collection Of garbage Will be con-
sidered. This BILL which is for s66OO,
was presented at the Council session
last Thursday night and referred to the
finance committee OF Council.
This action on the part OF the Coun-
ell caused no surprise, it having been
asserted previously in Council that the
bill Of sylvester Healy, the garbage con
tractor, would not be paid by Council
The Councimen take this stand because
the health department awarded con
tract for opA years collection 10 Mr.
Healy when ne city ordinance provides
that such contracts must be for three
year periods. The Board OF Health
members, a Ia conference with City
Council and Robert G. Harman, attor-
ney for Mr. Healy, several weeks ago
were advised by Council to award
contract for the collection Of garbage,
saying that they, the COuncilmen, would
back the health board members II the
contract were legal.
At that meeting Mr.. Harman explained
that the city charter provided garbage
contract awards on a three-year basis
and that any contract for lesser
period was not worth the paper it was
written on.
Previous TO this conference City
Council, however. acting on the sug-
gestion OF the previous health board
amended garbage section Of the city
charter, fixing the period at one instead

UN|CAMERAL SYSTEM
 LEGISLATION DEFEATED
uo, T C. MeRae Makes Strong '' Plea Against It-Efforts to Change System of Reppresen- tation Now Being Made.

little Rock, Aug. 1.-The constitu- 4;onal convention yesterday afternoon, hv vote of ayes 57, noes 30, recon .;dered and defeated the Daggett nronosal for the unicameral system of legislation, which was adopted Iulv 23. by a vote of ayes 51, noes 37.
 The day was devoted to discussion of the question and it developed that .horo were few advocates of the one houso system to be heard in support of the plan, whereas its opponents numbered some of the strongest mem bers on the floor.
 Mai. Clifton R. Breckinridge of Fort Smith. spoke for the new sys- tom. and Col. T. C. McRae of Pres cott made a strong address against it Both are former members of Con- vress and have had years of personal experience with the two-house system of legislation which the Daggett pro- posal sought to replace.
 After the defeat of the Daggett proposal, the convention in short or der proceeded to begin the readoption of the provisions for the old consti- tuition for Senate and House of Representatives.
 Efforts were made at once to change the system of representation. Judge Hammock offered a suggestion which was not adopted that the Sen ate consist of one member from each of the present seventeen judicial dis tricts. He also proposed that the House consist of one member from each county, but this had not been passed upon when the adjournment was taken for the evening.
 The spirit of the convention at this time seems to be, as a rule, to re- adopt the present system with as few changes as necessary to cure some of the evils that have grown up during recent years
 The most bitter attack upon the legislature in support of a new sys- tenn, was made by Maj. Clifton R. Berckinridge, who declared that there has developed very general opposi- tlon to the General Assembly, that it IS incompatible with good government as now conducted, and that no change that could te made would be for the worse. Several speakers defended the legislature from the attacks that were made upon it declaring that it IS not nearly so bad as painted by it's critics
