Sanitary Commissioners Wish
to Fix Responsibility for

City Attorney IS1nes NJ. Ogden today
was asked by the board of sanitary com
missiOners to take up with the board of
public works Friday the old and ir1-
tating question of who il responsible for
the collection OF. dead animals in Indi-
annapolis. The sanitary board has been
attempting to supervise the collection
since it cook over the duty of garbage
and ash collection from the board Of pub
lie works last summer, but now it wishes
to pass the job back to the board or
works.
President J. A Craven and Joseph
Daniel told Mr. Ogden that the sanitary
commissioners believe the board of works
should puchase suitable equipment for
hauling heavy, dead animals, such as
aorses and mules, to the rity garbage re
duction plant. The sanitary board
would be willing to paw the board a fair
price for the carcasses delivered at the
plant. Some money can DE realized on
the sale of the hides and production Of
grease from the bodies, he said
Under the present arrangement, the
sanitary board gives a verbal contract
to a private hauler. The contract<gen-
orally is in force about a month be-
cause the contractors find that Oftentimes

the truck Of some fertilizer company has
beaten them to the carcass. The con-
tractor is paid only for the animals he
hauls.
20 remedy this The sanitary board sug-
gested to Mr.. Ogden that the city
council be asked to pass an ordinance
prohibiting anyone but the city from
collecting dead animals. that the board
of works do such collecting until the
next session Of the Legislature and that
the sanitary district law then be so
amended as 70 make It the epecihc duty
Of the sanitary board to make the col
leceions. Under the present law, the
sanitary board contends, the Job belongs
