Tho object which the mnkcrs of garbago
ordinance No. 44C2 (the ono now In force)
had In view was two-fold first, to securo
tho hauling of refuso In water-tight wagon
beds; second, to secure tho dumping of tuch
refuse within the limits prescribed for such
purpose only. Tho company which has th
garbago hauling contract now Is equipped
for work of this kind. It uses only water
tight boxes for tho purpose, covered with
a closo fitting lid.
"It Is ensy to antlclpato what tho result
would bo If thero wero no restrictions

tho water supply from tho rooms occupied
by their tenants, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Zlttle,
abovo tho Nelsons' apartments- at 30 Soutn
Twenty-eighth street Tho Zlttles and
tho Nelsons had quarreled and tho landlords
were attempting to oust tho tenants by
shutting off tho water from tho upstairs
roomB when Zlttle procured a restraining
order from tho court, putting nn end to
tho procedure.
Nelson appeared at tho court house yes
terday with a talo of Ills that made tho
story of Job's sufferings appear a chronicle
of pastimes, all on account of tho restrain
ing order. Nelson said that In tho middle,
of tho night ho dreamed that a second
universal flood was at hand nnd that ho
and bl3 family had been shut out of tho
nrk. Ho awoko to find several streams of
vfator trickling down from tho colling.
Nolson clambered, out or bed, nnd in step
ping to tho floor thrust his foot in a pool
of Icy water. An Investigation by lamp
light disclosed that tho water pipes leading
under tho upstnlrs floor to tho apartments
abovo had burst. Nelson rushed to tno
cellar to cut off tho connection. Tho lenk
had boen discovered almost ob soon us It
was sprung and thero was little damage
fo far, but as Nelson was about to turn
tho stopcock ho remembered tho restrain
ing order, and although temptation was
fitrong upon him, ho recalled that dis
obedience of such order means contempt of
court, followed by sovero punishment. Ho
decided to let tho wuter run till ho could
find his attorneys and explain tho predica
ment to them.
When the attornoys camo down to their
morning task and tho Judge appeared on
tho bench nt tho customary hour a stay
was eocured, permitting Nelson to shut off
tho Zlttlo's water long enough to repair tho
leal!. In tho meantime the flood frmn
tho overhead pipes ployed havoc with tho
furntturo In tho bed room.
