    THE SANITATION BONANZA ,
People Compelled to Pay Tat Fees to the
Commissioner.
ORDINANCES AIMED AT REFORM ,
tlio Sanitary Commissioner-Been
CRlHlntcd Out of OIHec by too
Much Tampering AVltli tlio
New Charter ?
At tlio last council mooting Chairman
Spocht of the committee on ix > llco reported
An ordinance ) relating to cosvpool cleaning
which ho hopes will do nway with the abuses
Tvhlcli have crept Into this practice uuUcr the
present sanitary commissioner.
This ordinance will bo followed by others
relating to the removal of garbage and dead
animals.
It provides that each and every tenement
house shall bo supplied with a vault , and
where feasible the same shall bo connected
with a sewer ; that these vaults may bo
cleaned only by those who pay > 0 for a li
cense for that purpose ; that those so licensed
shall glvo a bond of $1,000 ; that tbo cost of
cleaning the same shall not exceed 10 cents
per cubic yard ; that the cleaning shall bo
done under tbo direction of the board of
healthund not before the contents shall
brivo risen to within tljrco feet of the top of
the wall , and violations of the ordinance
shall bo punished by n line of not loss than
t-0 nor more than ? -OD.
This ordlnanco differs from those ordi
nances relating to the subject now In force in
that it destroys the sanitary commissioner's
power. It places the sanitation of the city
under the direction of the board of health.
It opens up the cleaning of cess-pools to com
petition and allows the fat fees whlcn now
find their wf y Into the coffers of the sanitary
commissioner to remain In the pockets of the
people. It also proscribes when It becomes
fiocossary to clean vaults , and thus renders it
impossible for Ignorant or selfish ofllclaH to
oppress the citizen. This feature was Incor
porated because , under tlio present commis
sioner , small vaults on the same ground ana
belonging to a small family were needlessly
cleansed twice within less than ten months.
The f ramer of the ordinance holds that the
clcanslug of the city should bo done by the
city , and at the lowest cost possible to tbo
people. It ought not to bo made the means
of amassing a fortune for any one Individual ,
end that Individual should not bo allowed to
eay who should and should not aid in the
cleansing , especially when it is onlv n per
sonal objection of his own which rules them
tout. Mr. Spocht has Investigated the matter
tincl , upon the data which lie has received
through men whom ho has had watching the
( lumps , figures the prollt per month , to the
tanltury commissioner , on the Davenport ,
Btrcot dump to bo between ? . " > 23 and $ . " > 90 , nnd
on the Jones street dump to bo between $ .175
nnd $000. Here , ho claims , is a
profit to ono man of at lejit fl.OOO
per month , or $12,000 per year I Out of this
the commissioner expends very llttlo In the
conduct of the business , tiiring but ono clerK ,
all the garbage and cess-pool cleaners having
their own horses and wagons. The excep
tion is that of Fred Johnson. Johnson is the
man who hauls dead animals. Ho hauls them
lor nothing , collects the regulation fee of § 2
cash from the owner of the dead animal
for the commissioner , whenever that is prac
ticable , and then disposes of the skin him-
eelf. Where it is not practicable the city is
Charged with the amount and at the end of
every month a voucher for the some is sent in
to headquarters. The comptroller's books
show that from Juno of last year
to March 81 of this year , the city paid the
commissioner for the removal of dead ani
mals $1H45.75. This sum , independently of
the other perquisites of the ofllco would bo
'
considored'a fair salary for some of the most
valuable employes of the city whoso work is
o great deal moro exacting and moro continu
ous than that of the commissioner in ques
tion.
tion.In this connection , the councllmon who
fnvor the now ordinance say they have re
ceived offers from Oborno & Hoslck to col
lect nil the dead animals of the city and dis
pose of them without cost to the town or expense -
penso to the owner. This otter , of course ,
will bo seriously considered by the members
of the council because nt n reasonable calcu
lation it will result iu a saving of nt least
$1.500 a ycnr.
There nro four gnrbago men. These collect
refuse In certain wards of the city and
charge 20 cents n barrel. Men who have been
in the business say that from each of those the
eanltary commissioner makes on an average
$3 nor day.
, The cess pool cleaners are moro numerous.
( Those most known uro Lazarus , Travis , Cole
Ond ITclson , though the last mentioned a few
flays ace wns cut off by the commissioner.
THE BEE man saw him yesterday nnd learned
.that , having boon in tbo business eleven
.Voars . , the commissioner refused him n book
"of checks which would permit him to deposit
bis refuse nt the dumps. Nelson said that he
'bad ' four wagons nnd that they were all in
tpood condition. Ho had thorn run-
fcing until recently , nnd when
tboy worked nil night they
bveragod three loads apiece , or twelve loads
Oltosruthor. He received 85 a load and $1
wont to the commissioner for every load. Ho
liad paid the latter , ho said , as high as $14 In
ono night. Tbo other cesspool cleaners bad
about the same number of teams and aid
about tbo same amount of work. Ho held
that from the cesspool business nlono the
fcanltury commissioner derived from $ -10 to
IM n day. When nsked how to bnd been
knocked out of the business. Nelson said :
"I bnd been employed by the school board
to cleanse the vaults at the Walnut Hill
School nnd performed tbo Job. The vault is '
pot connected with n sower. I cleaned It
twice. I agreed to do it for $4 n load. There
Wore forty-four loads. That was $170 for the
> vorkwhlch was satisfactory to the board.I
called on Morrissey the other day and said ,
Frank , I want another book of checks to
enable mo to deposit refuse at the dump.1
( These books cost - " > , and are good for
twenty-flvo loads.
"Ho said , 'No , sir , you can't get nnv book
from mo until you put up $75 for that Walnut
Jlill vault. '
"I told him ho wns nsktng too much nnd I
Wouldn't pay it nnd I haven't , nnd ho hasn't
given mo a book either. I haven't turned a
wheel lu tlvo days. I'm going to see whether
tbo law docs not afford mo some protection. "
Under the management of the board of
the board of health this work could bo douo
by n competent man , who would consider
blmselfwell paid at the rate of $100 or § 150
per month. The garbage men nnd the cess
pool cleaners who make no objection to nay-
Ing , iu tto first instance , 25 per cent of their
receipts to tbo sanitary commissioner nnd , In
the second case , of $1 per load to the same
oftlrial , could charge so much loss to their
patrons and thus do a great deal of good to
the people.
Alter having * hut out Nelson , the commis
sioner , it is said , proposes to establish some
thing akin to a sanitary cleaning association ,
articles of incorporation of which
have boon prepared , but have not as
vet boon filed. Tnls corporation
If formed will make the combine , between the
commissioner and the garbage and cesspool
men whom ho favors , namely Cole , Lazarus ,
Wcstergard. Froderlcksun and Travis all the
Stronger and their profits all the greater
\vhllo It will also deprive the people of the
iirollts of competition as regards the removal
cf refuse of all kinds.
Now that summer Is approaching , the
nmount of matter which must , bo disposed of
will bo much greater than it has been in any
ftcusou in the past. Especially , because it
bas boon inndo the duty of four policemen to
look Into the sanitary condition of their ro-
Bpectivo districts and order cleaned nnd
abated all places and nuisances which
may como uudor their notice. If at
certain times in the past , forty loads of vault
matter were deposited in ono night nl the
dumps , nt least' fifty may now bo expected.
Each of tboso loads means fl to tbo sanitary
commissioner.
Tlia greatest interest is being taken in tbls
matter by a number of members of council.
They know that this work could bo done nt
Joss expense to the people. They know also
that the sanitary commissioner is aware ot
this fact nnd sought to inako himself moro
olid than the ordinances have made him by
bavlug bis position recognized in the charter.
As TUB BUB , however , bas shown ,
the commissioner Is not enumerated In
that document among the members
of the board of health. It Is a question ,
therefore , whether tbo ordlnanco passed some
lime agogunder which be has boon acting is
not invalid. If such should tirovo to ba the
case the regulation of tbo sanitary condition
of the city would bo plaeod in the hands of
the board of public works under a salaried
ofllcer and the people would bo the gainers
by the changa.
With respect to the ordlnanco nbovo synopsized -
sized and Introduced by Mr. Spechttbe coun
cil deferred action on it until It should have
tlmo to read a certified copy of the charter.
The city clerk hns nlreadv four authenticated
copies of that greatly mangled instrument.
They were made from the enrolled bill which
boars Governor Boyd's signature and contain
the inaccuracies pointed out In THE BEE
which , good lawyers claim , deprives the san
itary commissioner of bis occupation.
The ordluanco will doubtless bo considered
tonight.

llo Attacks Contractor Squires nmltlio
lloportcrfl.
Tbo board of public works held a session at
10 o'clock yesterday morning for tbo purpose
of giving Chairman Dtrkhauscr nnd C. E.
Squires another opportunity to discuss the
street sweeping subject.
The chairman had bis wrist tied up la arni
ca and a ban dago and was In anything but a
happy slate of mind.
As soon as bo bad called tbo mooting to
order bo turned bU guns ou Tin : DEB report
er. Ho stormed and raged and between
breaths said :
"This man has no business hero. Ho comes
Just on purpose to glvo mo the wont of It , "
Pointing a long bony linger of bis
crippled hand at Squires , bo con
tinued : "You brought this man
hero for the purpose ot writlne up the moot
ing nnd belittling me. "
Mr. Squires denied the statement made by
tbo chairman.
Major Furay entered tbo arena , nnd whtlo
Dlrkbauscr was describing the manner In
which ho proposed to streak tbo palo moon
with blood , Informed the chairman that tbo
meeting was n public one , and that last Sat
urday the reporter had notice that it would
bo held.
This added fuel to tbo flumes , nnd once
moro tbo chairman turned himself loose. Ho
said : "TnE But : is following and bunting
inc. So far It has refused to help mo in my
efforts to clean up the city. If the paper
ilnds where I have been doing
wrong , everything in that connection
is prlntcJ , but uovcr a word docs it say in
my praise. "
The people from tlio corridors gathered to
listen to the chairman's wail of woo. wbllo
bo continued by saying : "Tun Br.n has fol
lowed mo nnd upon many occasions reporters
have hurt ino by refusing to lend their as
sistance. "
"Your digestive organs nro all out ot
ordcr"said Major I'uray.as ho addressed the
chairman. "You are making a mountain
out of a inolo nlll. I have always been
treated fair enough by the newspapers and I
don't think you have any reason to com
plain. "
"Well , I have , " growled the chairman.
The controversy was then dropped nnd
Squires and Birkbauscr had nn Inning.
liirkhausor charged that the streets were
not swept according to schedule and said :
"Tho people blame us for tholr fllthv condi
tion. "
"It will bo so until you ndopt n system , "
replied Squires. "Ono day you start mo on
a certain street and before It Is half cleaned
you order mo to nuothor. You have notified
mo to have 120 miles of streets swept by
Tuesday night nnd you know that no living
man can do the work by that time. What
you want is to have mo fall in doing my
work , so that you can declare my contract
forfeited. Then you would put your man
Slavin on aud let him do the work. "
"You liol You llo I" yelled Blrkhauser , as
his face took on a scarlet hue.
"Your orders nro inconsistent , " continued
Squires , "and they go to show that you know
nothing about what work should bo done. "
" 1 do know what you ought to do and I
know what you will do , " retorted Blrk-
hnuser , as ho wildly waved his crippled arm.
"Yes , " replied Squires , "you think you do ,
but the facts are that you ought to bo out
among the cattle or plowing corn. "
BIrhauscr ground his teeth In raeo and cot
back at Squires by saying : "It would have
been better for mo nnd the city If I bad never
seen you. "
The animated discussion continued , with
Egbert aud Furay now and then putting In a
word , until the whistles blew the noon hour ,
ut which tlmo the meeting adjourned. No
results were reached nnd the street swooping
controversy is In the same condition as it was
lost Saturday.
