lives. For u time the garbage collec- ton met the situation SO far as sani- tation was concerned, but now since canned food came into general use. the demand for the removal of empty containers is just as urgent as Tor the collection of garbage. All sci- entists are agreed that dirt is very frolific source cf serious sickness. and this being so 1t stands to req son that municipalities should use every possible caution to guard against such occurrences.
 Mayor Hayes is represented as making an effort to reduce taxation, cut his honor would not think of saving money at the risk of seeing a condition created which would leave the people in position where they could not maintain neat, clean door yards, something which is out of the question under existing conditions in all parts nf Waterbury. Complaints are of almost every day occurrence. but when one looks into some of them he finds that the so-called of lenders are not wholly at fault. The city government cannot wash its hands of this business and say if is up to the people to take care of themselves. What would be the con dltion of society if this were done with police and fire protection and other expenses incident to right Iiv- Ing Tn 9 community like Waterbury? Oh. well, somebody will say what is suggested would cost something. Of course 1t would. but who will say it would not be worth the outlay? Talk about city beautiful and making good appearance to visitors. but just how to do this without soma system of disposing of refuse is not plain to even those who have due regard for cleanliness and are anx- ious observers of all laws and regu- lations. It is true that a yard may be unsightly and yet contain noth- 'ng dangerous to health, but this is not true where there are carloads of tin cans, half filled with water that smell worse than cesspool PeoDle do not like to talk about these things, but the sore spot is there, and you do not have to go outside the congested parts of the city to see evidence of if.

VICE RAIDS NET COURT TREASURY g, ,OOO'
NEW HIGH SPEED
 | RAILROAD ENGINE
Placed on Exhibition at the Sayre System Shop at
 Sayre, Pa.
100 FEET IN LENGTH

A stream line" high-speed loco motive with the usual piping almost entirely missing from the sides of the boiler, was placed on exhibition recently at the Sayre System Shops. Sayre. Pa, of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The locomotive was built for the Lehigh Valley by the Ameri- number of railway and railway sup ply men gathered to inspect it.
 This new engine Is capable of hauling full tonnage freight trains at unusually high rates of speed, or it may be used to handle the extra heavy passenger trains and maintain the regular schedule. The locomo- tive is so designed as to be best fitted for operation on long no-stop runs. The tender has a capacity of 18.000 gallons of water and twenty eight tons of coal. No 'helper" en- zine will be required to assist this engine in hauling freight or passen- ger trains through the mountainous territory.
 The engine has a four-wheel en- zine truck, four pairs of drivers and a four-wheel trailing truck. a so- called 4-8-4 wheel arrangement. Cyl finders are 26 32 inches, steam pressure of 255 pounds while driving wheels are seventy inches in diame- ter. Together with it's booster, it can develop a starting effort of 85,060 pounds.
 Over all, it is approximately 10S feet in length and with it's tender weighs 780,80O pounds. In design ing this engine, there has been in- cluded the most modern safety. power producing and fuel and labor saving devices.
 After the customary "breaking in' the new locomotive will be put to exhaustive tests.

This Morning-Ten Machines With Valuation of $l,25O Seized Since Start of Latest Campaign

One days work on the part of the emergency squad of the police de- partment brought it's final contribu- ton to the city court treasury to- day when James Hypschischi, 45, of 35 Hawkins street paid $100 and signed waiver of ownership. He was one of nine local storekeepers summoned to court on the charge of having gambling machines in their possession. The cleanup by Patrol man Daniel J. Carson, Patrick Moy- Ian and Fred Hickey of the emer- gency squad and Sergeant John Bowling netted ten machines valued at over $1,250. Nine hundred dol- lars in fines have since been paid and all of the machines have been ordered destroyed. About $100 in devices have been turned over to the police pension fund.

Collection Of Cans
 Civic Necessity
Their Disposal Just as Much Matter of Health as the
 Ordinary Garbage

Agitation over the city manager plan of government has taken up so much time the past few weeks that Many have forgotten spring is here and that it is high time to make a thorough cleanup of cellars and yards before the warm weather sets iI. One of the great troubles in W aterbury is how to dispose of re- fuse without putting it where 1t is bound to he menace to health. a rest breeding place for flies and an attraction for rats.
 It Is more difficult to handle this matter now than formerly. People use more canned goods than ever before. so that almost every family nas barrelful of empty containers almost every week and special place to dispose of them. It is we'll known that empty tin cans furnish first class breeding nests for all kinds of insects and it stands to reason that it behcoves the officials to do something to help families to dispose of them in such way that they will not be a nuisance. The health board cannot do much except put up a sign. which is apt to be knocked down any moment, and be- sides there is the temptation on the part of people to get rid of this truck by some means. /
 Many are of the opinion that it would be well spent money if the city would put the use of one large truck at the disposal of the depart :nent of public health and have it make the rounds of the city once week, the same as the garbage col- lcctor, and pick up barrelfuls of tin cans and cart them to one of the dumping grounds. With this plan, which would not be expensive, a large share of the confusion caused il. neighborhoods would be elimin- ated. If this were done and fami- lies failed to take advantage of it, they would have no just ground for complaint in case they should be taken into court. It is not possible to maintain anything like decent sanitation without the cooperation Of the people and the municipal authorities.
 What would be the condition in Waterbury if there was no garbage collector? Just what it was before the city rendered this service filthy yards, neighborhood quarrels and epidemics of sickness that cost much money, not to mention loss of
