Washington committee today wired
a full explanation of their course and
appealed to all factions in the coun-

defray the cost of the construction
of the All-American canal.
The kettner bill pertains to flood

"The full committee asks the Val

- Complete breakdown of FL Centro's

by representative citizens of this

Under the existing arrangement the
city does not undertake the collec-
tion of the garbage, but lets it out
under an ordinance which imposes up
on the householders fees which are
absorbed by the contractor. tt is al
legged that because the contract is
nprofitable. important districts are
neglected for weeks, with consequent
accumulation of the garbage with its
disease e-breeding germs. The follow
ing interviews are indicative Of the
general trend of criticism:
"The mayor" said j. F.. Seymour
today, Expresses regret that the
health and comfort of our people is
threatened by masses of uncollected
garbage smelling foully to heaven,
but does not see how he can abate it.
The only remedy that appears in

der penalty of fine and possible i'm

A. c. Rath agreed with Mr.. Sey-
mour as to the seriousness of the sit
uation and the necessity for immedi-
ate correction. THE garbage contrac-
tors excuse" he said, "is that he
can't make a living, and our trouble
as a result of his incapacity is that

day after five years of service.

experienced phone operator she went
on to explain, "and the work is of a
most eXacting character. When there
is rush on, experienced operators
handle six calls or more every MIN
ute for hours. The strain is very
great upon the nerves. In large eX-
changes girls faint at their work not

would be better for the service to
pay the moderate wage we ask, be-
cause it would insure a greater num-
Der Of experienced operators and by
putting it within the power of the
girls to rest when their nerves are
threatening to give way, save good
many operators.
Il would like some representative
woman in every community to try a

to convince them that our wage de-
mand is a reasonable one"
In response to a suggestion that 1t
