THE CITIZENS’ SIDE. The Commissioners declare thatean appro- priation for the destruction of garbage would be more satisfactory to themselves, This may be because they have not had the citizens’ side nd doubtless it would be still more satisfactory to the garbage contractor who would get the appropriation, because he has given the subject consideration and is plsssed with the resulting profit, but the house- jolders and taxpayers are more interested in having a daily garbage service, which is of vital importance to the public health and comfort. e daily removal of garbage in the city dur- ing warm weather is absolutely necessary. The desire for it is general and the people are will og to pay for it, while ite destruction or trans- portation down the river is a different matter which deserves consideration, but does not mvolve the public health and the city's wel- fare. In conclusion Senator Hunton’s amendment to the District appropriation bill was recom- led, and_ tie reasons fora daily garbage service, which have already been published in Tse Stan, were submitted. Upon motion of Secretary Sperry a unai mous vote of thanks was tendered the gent! men who wrote the reports for the able and | intelligent manner which distinguished them. THE GRAND BOULEVARD #CHEME, Mr. W. W. Cheshire called attention to the | interest manifested about a year ago by | Representative Springer ina grand boulevard scheme and presented a diagram in this con- nection showing East Capitol street trans- d. 1t ehowed the street 100 feet wide, with parking in front of the houses, trees at the outer edge of same and a sidewalk between this and the curb. Mr. Duncan Thompson inquired what was going to be done with the railroad. Prof. Thomas N. Conrad spoke warmly of the needs of East Washington. ‘That poor, down- trodden section had a hard fight as it ‘was to getanything in the way of public improve- ments. He was not a property owner and his interest in public improvements was not a spec- ulative one. He wanted it put on record that he wasin favor of any and all improvements for East Washington. The boulevard was a good idea and he was for it. There was a matter, hewever, he was not in favor of, and that was the large amount of money spent for public school bnidings. If he had his way he would build all school houses alike, and rather than have iron stairways and poor teachers would much prefer wooden stairs and_good teachers, Messrs. Birney. Hubbell and Noyes spoke in favor of the boulevard. Mr. Samuel H. Walker spoke at length on the needs of anew municipal building. The | city hall site was to his mind the best one that could be selected. It was central and in all re- spects better suited for the transaction of vublic business. Upon motion the subject was [iia upon the table and the meeting adjourned. gechrs iema Government Clerks and Their Hours. To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘The ariicle recently appeering in Tux Stan, Telative to the proposition to lengthen each day's labor in the departments, is excellent for its logic and good sense, particularly in its sug- gestion as to the absurdity in putting depart- ment employes on a level with employes in private offices.

If equality is a good thing, for heaven's sake try to make it by bettering the condition of the unfortunate classes, not by trying to drag the more fortunate ones dowa to their level. ‘Ihe great curse of civilization today is that the majority are obhged to spend all the time they ean snatch from sleep in the struggle for existence and have no time for the higher life. #f life means simply time to work for food and shelter and sleep off the fatigue— then life ix not worth the living—and how few have time for more than that as business constructed today.

The District committee of the House make an inquiry regarding the former, the Commission- ers answer regarding the latter. ‘The heaith officer and his corps of asustants, the sppointed guardians of the city’s health, the medical profession and the hole people of the city, are deeply interested in and they have earnestly and persistently petitioned the Com- missioners So recommend, wn for a daily garbage service as for in Sen- ator Hunton’s amendmen: ee plan proposed by the Com- | DESTRUCTION OF THE GARBAGE.
