by municipal forces. Another problem
to be considered at the conference today
will be garbage collection and disposal
for next year. No bids were received
for this work, but Director Caven said
he expected to solve the problem within
the next few days. ....
Caven Is Satisfied
In an interview today previous to
his conference. with the Mayor, Direc-
tor Caven said:
"At the meeting Of Council next
Tuesday I expect to make a statement
which I think will not only be interest =
ing but also satisfactory in regard to
the position of the department in the
matter of street cleaning"
The director added that he was per =
fectly satisfied" with the results of the
bidding yesterday. In some quarters
there was suggestion that the city
would enter the field Of municipal
street cleaning in limited fashion for
next year. -.
clearly evident when coupled with the
plans for partial municipal operation
next year" said one official closely con =
nected with the situation. Senator
Ware has submitted very high and un-
contested bids for mis- districts. If the
plan for inaugurating municipal street
cleaning and garbage collection in one
or more districts should be adopted, il
would be natural that the districts
chosen for the experiment would be
those showing the most excessive bids.
As compared with the Ware bids, com
parative figures in the Department OF
Public Works show the low bids for the
West Philadelphia Districts Nos. and
2 are under those of this year."
Won't Give Estimate
Although officials declined to state
the estimated cost of municipal opera =
ton, which they said was apart from
the cost of obtaining equipment, they
said. nevertheless, that it was less than
the aggregate of the low bids of the
street cleaning contractors.
That aggregate exceeds the total OF
the contracts for the cleaning of streets
and the collection of ashes and rubbish
for the present year by $1.035 900. The
low bids for next year total $5,3S1,
O02.SS. The contracts for this year
amount to S4,346,004.

MAYOR CONFERS
. ON NEW FUND BILL
Street Cleaning Problem I:
Taken Up at Conference
In City Hall
GAFFNEY NOT PR E EN- 7

Mayor Moore conferred with mem
bers Of council at his Office today on
the subject of the loan bill and the
question involved in street cleaning by
the city.
All members of council excepting
Councilmen Gaffney, Hall and McKin-
ley. were present
During the conference, the Mayor
sent for Director of Works Caven. with
whom he had previously conferred, and
II is believed that Mr.. Caven submitted
information to the councilmen concern
ing the street cleaning situation.
Both the administration loan bill and
the Gaffney loan bill for permanent i'm
provements will be considered at n
meeting of the finance committee this
afternoon.
Gaffney Bill Ignored
Francis +. Burch. chairman of the
| finance committee. who introduced the
administration loan bill providing for
a loan of $27 100000. was informed
before the meeting that mimcographed
| list of bills to be considercd at this
afternoons meeting did not include the
Gaffney measure which was submitted
last week in anticipation Of the ad-
ministration bill.
Does that mean that the Gaffney
| bill will not be considered by the finance
committccf" Mr.. Burch was asked.
at certainly does not" he replied.
Both the Gaffney and administration
measures will be considered.
Neither the Gaffney bill nor the ad-
ministration bill, which the Mayor
helped whip into shape, contains any
provision for the purchase of street
cleaning equipment by the city, in ac-
cordance with the city charter.
1t is believed that one of the loan
bills will be approved by the finance
committee this afternoon.
The Mayor was asked IL he had any
statement to make concerning the bids
cleaning in 1921, or on the general sit
uation.
Not Statement at Present
NO" he said. II have no statement
to make, and will probably make none
today on this subject at least. Director
Caven has mass of figures which |
matter until I confer with him."
At the bureau of street cleaning it
was stated that the contractors bids.
| proposals for new street cleaning equip
ment, should the city take over the
work, and offers of the contractors for
the sale of their equipment to the city
are now being scheduled.
| 1t was said that no estimate of the
probable cost to the city of the old
| equipment of the contractors would be
made today, but might be available to
morrow.
The street cleaning problem is now
square'y before the Mayor. it was
pointed out. because of the high bids
for street cleaning which were received
by Director Caven yesterday. The bids,
it was asserted by city officials. showed
that the contract system for 1921 would
cost more than the system of cleaning

QUESTION CLEARED UP

Doubt the Evidence.


Again and again we have read OF
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Walhalla's pertinent question
has always been "Has anyone here In
Walhalla been cured?" The word OF
a stranger living hundred miles
away may be true. but it cannot have
the same weight with us as the word
of our own citizens. whom we know
and respect. and whose evidence we
can 80 easily prove.
