POINTS TO NEED
FOR ASH TRUCKS
: Riley Hopes Council Will
Rush Purchase.

Hope that the city council viii not de-
lay longer than Is necessary the Tatif1-
cation Of the contract for the purchase
Of two new five-t0n motor trucks to be
added To the ash hauling department
equipment was expressed by Thomas A.
Riley, Democratic member Of the board
Of works In charge Of this branch Of city
work, today.
The council received the contract, which
calls for the expenditure Of approx
mately $4,000 for two White trucks, Of
special chassis design, week ago. The
next meeting viii be Dec. 6 and It is not
thought likely the council viii act upon
the contract until that time
ANY unnecessary delay in the delivery
Of the trucks might seriously hamper
the work Of ash collection at a time
when Il would be most incOnvenient for
the public Mr.. Riley said. At present
the ash cOIlectiOu department is oper-
ating four trucks and four units Of six
ash trailers each. These are going at
fun capacity every week day. Should
one truck break down, the department. s
efficiency would be cut 25 per cent, and
Just that percentage Of the pOpulace be
tnconvenienced.
The board is purchasing six additional
trailers, which, with one Of the new
trucks, will comprise new collection
unit The other truck win be for use
in case one Of the regular power vehicles
breaks down. With the new collection
unit It VIII be possible to take care of
. the increased ash load coming from sew
eraI new apartment houses on the north
side.
The board has negotiated a contract
with the Troy Wagon Works Company
Of Troy, Ohio, for the six new traiIers
at q total cost Of S9,S6O, delivery to be
tEenty-one days after approval by the
council The ordinance ratifying this
contract probably VIII be sent to the
council some time this week
Mr.. Riley reported that from ten to
fifteen complaints are received by the
ash department daily. This, he said.
compares very favOrably with the winter
before last when the city first took over
the work from q private contractor.
From 15O TO go complaints per day was
the rule then.
TIE board confirmed the following res
olutiOns:
For main sewer from the main inter
ceptor in Merrill street 10 Sand street,
thence in Sand street to Kentucky ave
nue.; for local sewer in Buckingham
Drive from a point east of Boulevard
Place to a point east of Cornelius ave-
nue. and for a local sewer in Belmont

WASHINGTON. Nov 22.-Party lines

Midwestern and Western members Of the

fort TO remedy the situation which has

day.
Informal conferences planned among

At this conference a working program

certed action by Senator's from farm and

the interests of the producers.
The FIRST test Of their strength Is TO be
made on the Kenyon Kenricks packing

Hitchcock said he and other Demo
cratic Senators viii support the bill
energetlcally and viii seek TO amend II
20 reach some Of the evils that wheat and
corn farmers are complaining OF.
Senators hostile to any regulation OF
the packers are preparing to talk the
bill TO death But Hitchcock predicted
they would have difficulty in sidetracking
the measure. because Of the strong sup
port Il will command.
"The farmers Ia the corn and wheat
sections have been reused to great re
sentiment said Hitchcock, because Of
conditions which have lowered prices to
an extent that makes their future
ruinous. Corn is selling at less than the
cost OF production and some corn farm
ers are threatening to burn II rather than
buy coal Tho farmers feel there is some
thing wrong with the marketing system,
or control Of the markets, and they de-
mand some corrective measures be ,aken.
I'VE westerners are going to try to get
together regardless OF party on measures
