12 THE BEE: OMAHA, TUCBSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1913 CITY MBLSJHT GARBAGE GITY HAULS THE GARBAGE How Much it in Costing the Taxpay ers and for What. "WAGONS MAKE FEW TEIPS DAILY Bin Collection District" and Dlatnncc from Delivery Point Aecnant for Kxpenalvo Character of thn Undertaking. (Sixth Artlclo ot Scries) Although Omaha once had a contract tri remove- nil garbage without cost to the city or the householders, the city now pays about 130,000 a year for tho collec tion and disposal ot Its garbage and gets nothing back. An Inventory to show the Items ot expense, what the city bought, tho amount paid out and the service ob tained, now come In for consideration. Under a resolution dated July to, 1911. the city council authorised the health commissioner to make theso purchases: Prom Omaha Rendering and Feed company. In accordance with bids. IS steel wagon box, 11 feet long by 31 to 31 inches wide, 28 Inches deep, together with 11 wagon racks for same, Including teats and brake rods and 13 sets heavy Harvey bolster springs, capacity 7,000 to 8.0OT pounds, at SSO por set, total J1.089. From William JJerg company, 8 wagon scats, irons, having samo put on wagons, Frotn the Kobraska and Iowa Bteel Tank company, steel linings for wagon tanks, not to exceed eight In number, at J1&S0 each, together with wooden covers at not to exceed $7.50 each. . From Kingman Plow company. Rush ford or Winona wagon boxes, not to ex ceed eight In number, $17.64 each. The cost of these was to come out of the fund created by ordinance for tho removal ot the garbage. The city's capital investment, therefore. Is not large. It employs drivers as a rule who have their own horses and wagons and simply equips tho wagons with the garbage boxes and 'other appurtenances mentioned. What It im Now Costing. This opens the way to the financial de tails ot the enterprise. The city employs from seventeen to eighteen teamsters the year round and about twenty-five in the warmer and summer months. It pays these men 94.2 a day, which Includes compensation lor tho man, his two horses and wagon, and this, as anyone with halt a knowledge of the situation nows, Is not a very largo wage. As a matter of fact the city has difficulty getting all the men It needs at that figure. The reason it Is ablo to hold so many con tinuously Is said to be because thoy pre fer to work whero they are assured ot twelve months steady employment, though at less a day than they might ob tain. The city has found from experience that it pays to get the men who own their teams, for as a rulo thoy ore more steady and dependable than merely those who can be ploked up at odd times as drivers for other men's teams. The city owns no homes or wagons, itself. The big Iron tank wagons have a capacity of three and one-halt tons, whll the others haul but two tons. The num ber of loads or trips per day dopMds chiefly on the distance they travel. The city Is districted for collection purposes. Five wagons work downtown and make two loads a day to the company's hog farm on the Iowa east bottoms, which Is very poorly situated, and la bad weather almost inaccessible These five wagons, it should be sold, manage to get out be tween Sixteenth and Twenty-fourth streets, near the downtown districts In the afternoons. Two wagons work from Lake street to Ames avenue, rs-neing west from Twenty-fourth street, and generally make two loads each a day. One works from Laveworth street, en the oast side, south, to the city limits, makltMt one load a day, and under propitious cir cumstances, two. And that Is about the way they go; the wagons hauling from tbs remote sections ot the city make only a, load a d&y, and often have diffi culty doing that If the weather Is bad. It is the belief of Commissioner Ryder, Health Commissioner Connell and (Super intendent McDonald, who is regarded as a very competent man to handle this work, that so far as the limitations per mit, the hauling Is satisfactory. Mr. McDonald says they are having lit tle difficulty these days about separating garbage from other articles ot refuse, the householders having' been educated up to do this. ( Another Artk-le Seoa) 0ityMay Expend Money Only Under the Oity.Oharter Under the ruling ot Judge Troup in the case Involving the expenses ot city comsalssleners to a meeting of the League of Asaertcan Municipalities In WMnlper city attorneys say the munlcl psilty cannot henceforth legally pay Its dues to this league or to tho State League ot Municipalities. "Unless some problem Is to be worked out atu the city has something at stake It Is rny opinion money cannot be legally expended by the city for any purpose except what may be specifically provided fpr in the charter," sold Assistant City Attorney V. C Lambert. Lambert said the city could not. there fore, pay tor the Ak-Sar-Ben street light ing or for any other sort of display. Assistant City Attorney To Poel said there was no other conclusion to be reached under the law than that at which Judge Troup arrived. However, he said the city could appropriate money, in his opinion, to take care of the poor, which would mean that emergency appropria tions would not be Illegal Sugar Beet Crop to Show a Great Yield Nebraska sugar beet give promise ot being the best crop In yearn and are about ready for the harvest.

For sale by Seatoa Drug Co, Advertisement FeinMsMt Advertising' Is the Road to Big jBattra Navin Says Cobb is Not Sold or Even for Sale Tou may take cither end ot the story of Ty Cobb's sale to New York you wish the Now York or Detroit end. The story under a New Iork dale line said Ty had been sold to the New York American leaguo team for tho sweet sum ot 1(0,000, to report to that club In the spring of 1914. It went on to say that the official announcement ot the sale would not be mado until after the closo ot the present season, when It would come from the proper sources, but that the report of the deal leaked out through a Detroit stockholder. Over against this affirmative story Is this negative from President Navin ot the Detroit club: "The story that Cobb has been sold to the New York Highlanders for $40,000 Is ridiculous and absurd, Cobb hasn't been sold, nor have I the slightest Intention ot Belling htm. I haven't had any corre spondence with Frank Farretl of New York for weeks, excepting somethtrg about waivers on a couple of men. As for tho 'stockholder spilling the story, alt tho stockholders are now In Detroit, except one, who owns a very small block and he Isn't going to sell Ty on the strength ot his holdings." Colorado Fruit Now Being Distributed, With Omaha Center Two train loads of peaches have arrived 'from Colorado and from here were dis tributed north, cast and south, most ot them going going out In car lots. This 3'cor Omaha Is to tho distribut ing point for east bound Colorado fruit, which heretofore has generally been dis tributed from Kansas City. With the six trunk lines from the east centering at Omaha and the tour lines into Minnesota and South Dakota, this Is regarded as the best distributing point west of Chi cago and as a result Colorado fruit men are taking advantage of the opportunities offered.

An empty bottle which had contained car bollo acid was found near tho body. Deputy Coroner B. J. Larkln was noti fied ot the finding ot the body by tele phone. He did not learn the Identity of the person who telephoned. The man weighed about ISO pounds, was apparently asQUi S3 years of age and wore a light suit ana gray hat. He wore an Ancient Order of United Workmen badge. Frank Chaffee, Twenty-sixth and N streets, has not been heard from since Saturday, and it is tnought by the police that the body might be his. It was in such a bad state of putrefaction that It was burled at once. COUNTY BOARD CUTS DOWN JUVENILE COURT CAR FARE The Board of County Commissioners has decreed by formal resolution that the expense of the probation office for street car tickets should be only halt of what It has been for the last year uo per month. Instead ot 140. The resolution, was Introduced by Com mlssloner O'Connor and was passed unan lmously. It provides that no claim ot more than 20 per month shall receive recognition by the board. The probation office has received 140 per month tor street car fare for a year, the claims prior to that time running considerably below that amount. WHOLESALERS WILL NOT CLOSE THEIR PLACES FRIDAY No organised agreement has been reached by wholesalers la Omaha with regard to closing Friday In order to let their help go to the state fair, and It Is sold that thire will be no general closing of the wholesolo places because the freight depots will not be closed, and that means that there will be work that the wholesalers must do. Many of them though, are arranging to let some of their office force oft at least, even If the teamsters and some others cannot go. BOY SCOUTSJHSAD PLIGHT They Are Trying to Walk to Chicago from Denver. WERE WITH BUFFALO BILL When Shnrr Went IlroUe Thrr Were Left Wllhnnt Any Resource Are .ovr In a Pitiable Cnnillllnn. A small army ot boys, not .unlike the famous Coxey's army of many yeats ago, now marching through the state of Nebraska. Some are In rags and soma arc In tags and none are In velvet gowns. Their feet aro sore, their stomachs empty and their faces haggard and drawn, but still they refuse to entertain any thoughts of surrender In their desperate effort to walk from Denver to Chicago. Theirs Is terrible plight, and here Is how It all came about. When Buffalo Bill's Wild West show I went to the wall In Denver this summei there were left stranded In tliat city hundreds of players, canvastnen nnd other employes. Among the number were twenty-four boy scouts from the city ot Chicago. Since early spring they bad been delighting- thousands of spectators with a fancy drill In which the American flag took the leading part. All had gone well with them until the sudden calamity In Denver. For a while the boys could scarcely realize what bad happoned; that Buffalo Bill, with all his apparent pros perity, was bankrupt won quite beyond their comprehension. But soon they were paid 11.18 each and told that their ser vices were no longer required. Then those stronger In a strange land began to see the enormity ot the situation. One thous and miles from home and a little over ft apiece In their pockets. There was noth ing to do but walk the entire distance and subsist as best they could along the way A. lew days later the weaty march be gan. Their hardships and sufferings since that time havo been almost, it not equally, as great as the privations en dured by the fortune-hunting pioneers who traversed the same plains half a century ago. When the little band arrived In Colum- bust last Saturday evcnlne it consisted of only nineteen boys, five had dropped by the wayside. Of these remaining there as little left but okln and bones. Borne. with tho soles of their shoes worn com pletely through, hod been walking bare footed for miles and miles on the Union Paclflo gravel roadbed. One youngster was threatened with typhoid tover, and he too would have fallen had not a Good Samaritan In the form ot a Columbus business man placed him under the care f a doctor. . Monday evening the scouts again re sumed their march.. Intending to make Omaha by Wednesday nlirht nr Thnnu day of this week. Tho intense heat makes It almost Impossible for them to walk, by day they must spend their usual wok Ing hours In sleep and their sleeplnghoura on foot. It Is a matter of conjecture whether or not a single one ot the troupe will ever reach Chicago. Their money Is exhausted and their bodies are In the same condi tion. But following the example ot the "Old scout" under whose employ they formerly were, these "young scouts" are displaying a dogged porserveronce and a herolo bravery which la almost beyond the understanding of the ordinary mas. Sixteen remaining members ot the boy scouts arrived at Fremont Wednesday morning. They were tired and, worn out but gava, an ehlblttoa there during the evening. Home time this morning they will continue on their way to Omaha, Prizes Are Offered for Best Decorated Stores at Carnival Three prises of 0, & and ill, respect- lvely, ara held out by the Ak-Bar-Ben board of governors to the three mer chants who do the most attractive deco rating ot their store fronts In the princi pal streets during the Ak-Sar-Ben carni val week. This was decided upon at tho meeting of the board ot governors Tues day night The Ak-Sar-Ben organisation will do the decorating In the streets with pennants, banners and lights, and they are making a greater effort than ever before to get the enthusiasm of the mer chants kindled to the necessity of gor. geotu decorations of the building fronts. King T. C. Byrne called upon the boxrd ot governors at their meeting and per aonally Invited them all te be his guests at the state fair Friday when the Omaha and South Omaha crowds will attend the fair. Ho presented each governor with grand stand tickets for himself and lady for the races and has reserved a section of seats for them, so that the coventor and the ktag- may together enjoy the races.
