council TALKS
ABOUT GARBAGE

CONTINUED From First Page)
that City Council grant additional
compensation for the garbage COL
lections. He said that Healy admits
that he Is not making as many col
lections as he should make. but con-
tended that his work has been in
creased nearly two-fold in the num-
Der OF loads and equipment required.
This statement was challenged by
Councilman McManus, who said the
official records kept by the Board
OF Health would not bear out Nc
Nabb's statements as to the number
OF trucks in use or as TO the amount
| OF garbage hauled. He also called
/ McNabb's attention TO the fact that
when the subject was first brought
before Council the question OF IN
creased cost had arisen and that
Council had been assured by Dr..
c. NJ. Handy, president OF the Board
OF Health. that Mr.. Healy was will
ing TO collect wrapped garbage at
the same price for which he was
collecting wet garbage. McManus
recommended that Healy be COM
PEELED to collect the garbage regu-
larly and be fined for every COM
plant received.
McNabb said there had been few
complaints received by the former
Board OF Health OF failures TO collect
garbage.
McManus explained this by say
ing that under the rule OF DR.. Handy
and Secretary Frantz. OF the former
Board OF Health, whenever a COM
plant was sent in to the board OF a
failure TO collect garbage. the com
plainant was handed a telephone
by the man calling for the
garbage, asking the complainant in
the future to make all complaints
direct TO the contractor. Under the
present system, he said. the Board of
Health IS keeping tab on the situa-
tion.
Some people don't know that for
a year Mr.. Healy hauled garbage up
hill and down hill when the city had
to provide him with
phce TO put it," shouted McNabb. |
"and I think he should be given !
some consideration at this time. We I.
are not in n position TO criticise him, |
as everybody knows he cannot make |
with the same teams as
he did before, and he is not going TO |
buy new equipment unless somebody |
pays for IT,"
Councilman Abrahams denied /
that the contractor had fulfilled the |
terms OF his contract in 1920 and !
1921. He called attention to the
fact that former Councilman For
wood and he had at one time gone |
10 Healy and insisted that the col /
ections must be made Healy ask |
ID that they be as lenient with him /
rs possible, as he was unable at |
hat time to secure sufficient help or
wagons for the purpose.
Councilman Taylor also denied /
Vigorously that the contractor is col /
Getting garbage as required by the /
erms of his contract, and declared |
hat he never has done so.
At the close OF the discussion the
commission was referred to the |
Soard Of Health.

the other cars were not pulled down
with them.
It is believed that the excessive
weight OF two coal cars was re-
sponsible for the accident. Two cars,
weighing $4,000 pounds apiece.
filled with coal for use on the rail-
road were being hauled toward
Claiborne. Without warning, when
the train was halfway between the
Caroline side OF the river and the
draw. these two cars crashed down

car and a car loaded with meal.
The cars forward and TO the rear

set out in a boat TO haul back those

Seventy-one passengers on the
passenger train coming from Clai-
borne toward Ocean City were load
ed into automobiles here and
brought TO Bethlehem, where they
were transferred 10 the train that
had run up from Ocean City last
night. This train accepted no pas
sengers for Baltimore. The after
noon boat. II is understood, had left
Baltimore before officials OF the
company heard OF the accident
which occurred at 2.2O, standard
time.
About a dozen passengers who in
tended 10 leave Ocean City for Bal

Scores OF mines along the Monon-

IL Is predicted. following important

Heretofore. coal and coke from

one OF the outstanding develop

rect result OF the coal strike. Is the
attention given 10 production OF by
product coke. and the knowledge
that steel plants can use coal from
other than the Connelisvllle region.
Besides. Il was pointed out. the by
product ovens at the mills have the
advantage over beehive ovens at the
mines In quantity and quality OF.

Independent steel makers found
that by mixing coal from the West
Virginian field with equal quantities
of Connellsille or Monongahela riverI
coal they produced a higher grade
ioke and a greater yield per ton.
"A mixture OF 40 per cent. Poca-

SHIPS collide

BOTH ABLE TO GO
ON AFTER CRASH

In collision FIVE miles below the
Breakwater. before daybreak yes
terday. the British steamship South
western Miller. OF Furness, Witty
Company, had its stem twisted and
its bow plates damaged and the
Lewis Luckenbach. OF the Lucken-
bach Steamship Company, received
a hole in its starboard side.
The Southwestern Miller was
carrying three passengers, in addi-
tion 20 a crew of a. men. II is COM
manded by Captain J. NJ. william
son and was completing a twelve
day trip from London, with a gem
eral cargo amounting to 4162 tons.
The Luckenbach was carrying
general cargo of 67s4 tons. from
Portland. by way OF Cristobal, and
finishing its eighteen-day trip. II
was commanded by Captain Read,
who, like Captain williams. refused
to discuss the accident.
Both ships were able to continue
under their own steam. The South
western Miller docked at Pier 25
North, and the Luckenbach at IS
South. Neither the Furness. Witty
Company nor the Luckenbach Com
pany would give any information
ronceruiDg the accident, and the
former refused 10 make known the
names OF the three passengers who
were travelling from London.
other incoming ships that noticed
the collision stood by ready to rem
der assistance. but they were not
needed, neither ship being in danger
at any time.
The collision occurred several
miles off land. while both ships were
running in the same direction.
While It Is believed that the steer
ing machinery OF one OF the ships
became faulty. while the ships were
travelling abreast. II cannot be con-
frmed until a survey is made, be-
cause both companies refuse 10 give
any information concerning the
accident.

The man went up 20 the second
