12 TTTR BEE. OMAHA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1013. GARBAGE IH OTHER CITIES j Hippodrome Show Filled With Talent of Highest Order Problem of Disposal is Live Almost Everywhere. One FEW AS COSTLY AS IN OMAHA Informntlnn Collected from Our lnhbor that Mar nr of Srrr Icr to Us In Ending Our (inrhnKP Tronhles. (Ninth Article of Series) In addition to Columbus. O., with Its extensive system, of which thu Inclner litor Is tho prime feature, it Is worth while noting what other cities of or near Omaha's population are doing with their Garbage. Several of thorn, we have found upon Inquiry, are establishing or planning; on incinerators, among these being Kansas City, St Paul and Dcs Moines. At present garbage In Des Moines Is disposed of by private collectors, who dump the refuse and garbage at various points about the city. "In other words," writes F. T. Van Llew, superintendent of public safety, we have no system at all." But under authority granted by the last legislature, he adds, Des Moines Is taking steps toward the establishment of an Incinerator, In which It proposes to Invest S76.O0O or J10O.00O. It expects to have a modern system tor collecting and disposing of all garbage within six months. St. Paul has under advisement the plan of establishing an Incinerator or reducer. Like Sea Moines, Omaha, Denver and others, Its present system Is unsatisfac tory and has prompted repeated and vigorous efforts by the commissioner of health for a modern, sanitary plant. St. Paul now collects Its garbage from house to house and disposes of most of It to farmers for hog feeding, dumping the remainder in a public place for that purpose. Tho city, It Is said, would have had Its Incinerator before this but for tnormous expenditures on now and ex tensive sewers and roads. Kansas City Still StrngrcMnir. Kansas City voted bonds In the sum of $100,000 July 19, 1910, for the purchaso of sites "for Incinerating plant or plants" for the disposition of garbage, but on JUne 9, 1913, an ordinance approv ing a contract for tho construction of a plant and appropriating additional money for Its equipment and maintenance was defeated by the council because the loca tion selected for tho plant was objection able. So for the present the city has dropped the incinerator plan until a suit ablo site can be found. It should be noted that Kansas City voted (100,000 for a single plant, and the proposed site was to cost 142,000. So Mr us known there was no objection (o the tost, but merely to the location. So Kansas City Is now having Its gar bag collected and disposed of under a private contract made through Its Hos pital and Health Hoard with a private Individual, this contract dating from Fuebruary S, 190), and calling for tho ex penditure of 139,900 per annum, for the hauling of garbage, payable In monthly Installments of $3,33 each. Under Omaha's present system of dis posing merely of Its garbage, It pays out, at the least calculation, more than 130,000 a year, as against $36,960 by Kansas City, nd Omaha ts little more than half as large as Kaaua City In population. And. Kama City has determined bn the In cinerator as a more economical and an!tory plan. In Dearer Cast Is Nothing. As compared with Omaha's benevolenca In collecting and delivering Its garbage to private contractors, DenVer has a similar arrangement, except that whllq Its garbage Is thus collected and de livered outside the city limits, It entails no expense to tho city. Denver was a contract with a company Known as the Denver Hog Growers' asso ciation and this association Collects all Barbae and removes It to Its plant be yond the city limits, where It is sterllsed by cooking and fed to hogs. This collec Won Is made free of charge to the city, hut Denver derives no revenue from It Tet thU system Is r.ot satisfactory to Denver, especially In hot weather, when there ts more garbage than the company nerds for its hogs and men cannot be depended on to collect It regularly, "When the contract expires," says the superintendent In oharge. "this work will probably be Under municipal dlreotlon and the driver accountable to tho city." In flt Joseph, Mo., garbage Is collected by private scavengers, who work undex d IrecUon of the city board of health. The city has nd plant for burning or other wise destroying the substance and there. Tore dumps It Into the river. (Another Article Soon) Commission Men Fined for Selling Decayed Fruit . u. w.insiein tc Bon, commission tnen at 1011 Howard street, pleaded guilty to- the charge of selling plums both fit 1 1 JJ A MB M J A ueoayea. ana were fined 110 and costs by Judge Foster.

AK-tar-uea festivities that begin Bep. lember U and continue until October i JJundlce of hangers and posters are being w bui vy me uiousands to bs placed In the waiting rooms along the various lines. In Nebraska the advertising Is being m tverr town in the state, and in Iowa, Kansas and South Dakota In all wiinm jw miles of Omaaa. The advertisements call attention i ,. Vtade, the court ball and toe arouse- uoav .easures. All roads wU run special 8 y or tne night of the elec vicai paraae. "Dad" Weaver, secretary of Ak-Bar-Bon, was studying two sheets of yellow paper end seemed worried about some thing. "If this Hippodrome- attraction for the Ak-Snr-Ilon carnival Is as rood ns It admits It Is, It Is 'some hippodrome," ho snld finally. "Just take a look at tho confession." The confession started out with the as- sertlon that tho Hippodrome Is the greatest ln(name and magnitude ever pre sented in this or any other country, by this or any other management. It went on to tell about the features. There Is liar Thompson's high school horses, Slgs bee's dogs, the six tumbling demons of the Soudan, with a most astonishing ar ray of death-defying acrobatic feats; the aerial Lesters, who dart thither and yon at the top of the big tent, and, while suspended by. their toes many feet above the sawdust ring, do then and there play upon Instruments a band upside down. In doting the press agent rather nerv ously and In his retiring, shrinking violet manner, modestly adds that man never gazed upon such' a splendid array of talent, all Included In one monster, mam moth, awing and altogether stupendous you might nay, beyond reason exhibition as Is offered in this hippodrome attraction. TEXAS HAS GOOD CROPS, ACCORDING TO JONES President C. W. Jones of tho Chicago, Rock Island & Oulf road, the Texas end of the Hock Island system, is spending the day In tho city, enroute home to Fort Worth from Chicago. He Is ac companied by General Freight Agent F. IL Wllhelmy, who was formerly travel ing freight agent for tho Itock Island out of Omaha. Mr. Jones sees no reason for worrying over tho crop conditions in Texas this year. Farmers and planters have raised the best cotton in the history of the state, he says, nnd In many parts of the state, corn Is an average crop. Generally In Oklahoma the corn crop Is a failure, but through tho southern portion of the state it is fairly good. The chaotlo conditions In Mexico are playing havoo with business In that country and none of the Texas roads ore attempting to ship freight Into the re public. The lines are torn up and no trains are run, except under heavy guard. The City of Jaures, across the1 Itlo Grande from Kl Paso, is mined and enciosod with a barbed wire fence. Few American ever think of going Into the town, though the Mexicans In large numbers visit the American side of the river, CHANGES MADE IN GENERAL UNION jACIFIC OFFICES Effective September 15, Georgo W.

KoplU frofn the South Omaha park board, notices have been sent by J, Manly McCarthy, former secretary of the board, nu joe .ripai to Mayor Hootor, asking that they be relieved of their duties. Neither has yet been acted upon. Following the annual reorganization of the board some time ago Mayor Hootor nominated Fred Hcssllnger and John M. Tanner to serve for tho ensuing year and at the first eloctlon held they were re spectively elected to the presidency and secretaryship of the board. Unrest then prevailed among the older members and as a consequence their resignations havo been taking place.
