OPPOSED 10 THE CONTRACT SYSTEM A Project to Establish a Model Sick Diet Kitchen. THE PLAN OF THE COMMITTEE — Several interesting topics occupied the at- tention of the council of the Sanitary League at the April meeting of that body, held in the board of trade rooms last even- ing. Dr. J. S. Billings presided, with Mr. John Joy Edson as secretary. A report was received from Mrs. Anna L. Woodbury, chairman of the ladies’ committee on san- itary housekeeping, detailing a plan drawn up and approved by that committee for the establishment of a model sick diet kitchen. A resolution was adopted by the council as follows: “That the plan proposed by the ladies’ committee on sanitary housekeeping, looking to the establishment of a model sick diet kitchen, meets with the approval of the council of the league; that the im- portance of the work proposed is fully recognized by the council, and the project is heartily commended to the citizens of Washington.” A Diet Kitchen. The plan, as reported by the ladies’ com- mittee, is as follows: It is proposed to establish in this city a model sick diet kitchen, where absolutely pure and wholesome food for the sick will be prepared and sold at a moderate advance on the price of materials, labor, etc., to those who require such food (and to the destitute, on the order of a physician, at absolute cost). This kitchen to be open so many hours each day for the sale of food, and the inspection of the public. To do this it is necessary to secure the services of a thoroughly competent graduate of one of the cooking schools or hospitals, conversant with scientific methods, as well as their practical application. A’ room, or rooms, in a central location, A gas range and appli- ances for abundant supply of hot water. Probable cost, $100; furniture and cooking utensils, including a large refrigerator, $10 printing blank orders for use of physicians, and other printing, $50. The sum of $300 should cover all outlay for furnishing and printing. For running expenses $150 to $200 per month would be a liberal amount. Say for rent of room, 5; salary of competent manager, $60; woman to wash dishes, floors, etc., 310; gas for cooking and for heating water, $15; materials (not includ- ing milk, except for soup), $50. Total of $170. In all probability the running ex- penses would not reach this amount for several months, if ever. To place the kitchen on an independent business foundation, it is proposed to form a stock company, with a capital of $2,000, with shares at $% each, on which interes will be paid annually, as soon as the kit- chen is at all self-supporting. It is to be distinctly understood that this kitchen is in no sense a soup kitchen, or a charity, except for the poor, whose circum- stances are vouched for by some reputable physician, whose order-blank has been sup- plied by the kitchen, and is properly signed by him, to be filed in the kitchen for refer- ence. The articles of diet will be varied from day to day, and will include beef tea, broths, cereals, stewed fruits and light pud- dings. With a board of directors to be selected from the stockholders for a year or term of years, with a suitable room in a very de- sirable and central location, and a compe- tent superintendent in view, the committee feel perfectly secure in urging that immedi- ate steps be taken looking to the early es- tablishment of this much-needed help for the sick of all classes in the community. Collection and Disposal of Garbage. Mr. T. W. Noyes presented a report of the committee on collection and disposal of garbage, which after some modifications Was adopted. The report was signed b; W. H. Singleton, chairman; "Archibald Greenleaf, William Birney and M. I. Weller. As adopted by the council it was as follows: “The committee on collection and disposal of garbage beg leave to submit the follow- ing report: “The subject under the committee's con- sideration {s one of the most important in municipal management, and has engazed the careful thought of all authorities, and it is with diffidence that we enter upon sug- gestions. Only those who have given study to this precise subject can at all appreciate its magnitude and the ever increasing dif- culties in the way of its solution, “While some solution is demanded and must be found, still investigation will dem- onstrate that the inhabitants of a city should have some indulgence for the author- ities, who, endeavoring to meet the require- ments of the situation, give their best con- sideration and efforts toward collecting end disposing of garbage, so that it shall not be menace to health. “We have found that our municipal au- thorities have aimed and striven to ive the District a good service, and much care and thought have been expended thereon. But, still, there !s somewhat to be done before we should rest satisfied. “Your committee would, therefore, make some recommendations, some of which have already been brought to public notice: Collection. “1. There should be a daily service, espe- cially in the congested portions of the Dis- trict. This has been recommended, and its benefit is so obvious that argument is super- fluous. “2. Each house should have a sanitary garbage receptacle. We do not feel as though it is expedient for us to recommend any special form of receptacle, but we co think a receptacle having certain features should be provided. Such receptacle should be water-tight and provided with a water- tight cover. It would seem as though it would be advisable that there should be a regulation compelling the owner of every house to furnish some such receptacle as a | permanency to the premises, just as water and sewer connections are made. “3. Garbage receptacles should he brought by the householder to the edge of his perm- ises, and the collector should return re- ceptacle to same point. The visits of col- lectors should be made at fixed times. “4. Adoption and enforcement of Iberal yet rigid regulations for the householder and the collector. Without expressing any carp- ing criticism, we would say that tnvestiga- tion by the committee has shown that there is lacking a due enforcement of the existing regulations. We have seen garbage carts, with the lids open, traversing the city in the hottest weather; also garbage carts, with- out being washed, starting out on a trip. And as to broken wooden buckets, pails and cracked tin pans up alleys, contents spilling out upon the ground, their number is legion. There are too many careless and indifferent persons in our city, and the authorities — be more rigid in enforcing regula- tions. “Your committee is emphatically in favor of removing the gerbage and disposing of it |at a distance from the city. For the dis- | posal of garbage there are two plans—its | destruction and its utilization. Both plans |have advocates and both plans have ad- | vantages. With regard to economy, there | can be no question but that the latter plan |is the cheaper. In fact, properly managed, it may be made a source of revenue. In the destruction of garbage, while theoretica it may appear to be the healthier method, there is a loss of the money expended. In the utilization of garbage, the method necd not be unhealthy, and yet it may be made remunerative. Disposal. “Your committee is in favor of the latter, | as the city itself could do it, or make a more | advantageous contract than where destruc- | tion of garbage is the plan. | of garbage there are two plans which have | been adopted in different places. Both con- | template the rendition of the garbage so as to \extract from it valuable residua. One is | by boiling and expressing; the other ts by | distillation. In the former plan, the gar- bage is cooked by boiling, run out into large vats, squeezed in presses and the grease | floated off from the water and the solid part dried and ground into tankage for ferttl- izers. In the latter plan, the garbage is dis- | tilled In steam-tight digesters, and after all | moisture ts expelled, the grease is extracted | from the dry tankage and the solid part | ground into fertilizer. The salient difference | between the two, from a sanitary stand- | point, is that in the former the heated ub- | stance {s exposed in a liquid form to the | atmosphere and throws off olfjectionaple odors; in the latter all odors pass off with the water of condensation and do not come out into the air. The former plan was tried in this city and the merits thereof fully can- | vassed. The latter plan is in use in St. | Louis, Buffalo, Milwaukee and Detroit. | “A ‘member of your committee gave a | thorough and detailed examination of the | working of the system in the city of Detroit, | and from his report we are of opinion that | it is the best system devised for disposal of | the garbage of a city. The garbage is col- |lected daily in metallic boxes, which are | carried in cars to the factory, twenty miles from the city. After the cover of the box | is closed on the last lot of garbage put in, it |is not opened until the box arrives at the factory. Hence, there is an entire absence | of any disagreeable or offensive odor from garbage in the city. “From what we can learn, we would recommend the system of distillation for | the disposal of garbage, and that the factory be beyond the city Mmits. | “Ww.

Opposed to the Contract Syste: This report gave rise to a general dis- cussion of the subject of garbage collection, Jand the opinion was expressed that a sys- tem of letting contracts for the collection of |garbage to the lowest bidder resulted mo: unsatisfactorily, as experience has shown that when a contractor, who had taken his jcontract too low, failed to perform the ser- |vice efficieatly, the District government had no way of making him do so. A resolu- \tion drawn by Dr. Billings was adopted, as follows: “That it is the opinion of the coun- cil that the collection of the garbage of the ,clty of Washington can be best effected by jemployes of the District government, and }it is desirable that the law should be so |changed as to permit this. It is believed |that satisfactory results, from a sanitary point of view, can never be obtained by giv- ing the work out by contracts to the lowest bidder. Mrs. Frederick Harnden and Mrs. Charles |W. Richardson were appointed members of the ladies’ committee on sanitary house- keeping, and Mrs. Laura A. Talbott was jelected a member of the league.

MARYLAND ke ment to Receiver Failey ts Ree sixted. The application of James F. Failey, gen- eral receiver of the Iron Hall, to have the funds of the order in Marylan4 turned over to him is vigorously resisted jn the answer that will be filed in court next week at Baltimore. There are 4,000 certificate hold- ers of the Iron Hall in the state, an@ Charles J. Wiener ana Joseph C. France, the Maryland re rs, have about $100,000 hands. Mr. Fafley asks that this > sent to Indianapolis to be dis- y him. nts the views of the nd ot three-fourths of the © » holders. It asserts that the jorder passed by the Indiana court is inop- erative, so fat as it attempts to control the fund of Maryland, and that the Baltimore court s uld not respect it. It cites the | Penasyivania case, where Mr. Failey’s at- tempt to withdraw funds was defeated, jand also quotes from the decision of the | supreme court of Connecticut, requiring the receivers in that state to distribute the fun in their hands among the local members, and & that if that decision ts followed in other states the pro rata distribution under the authority of the Indiana court must _n¢ rily be small. In conclusion |the answer declares that the members will receive a dividend of about 30 per cent, if the fund is divided, which is more tha® could be hoped for from the Indiana court. soe W. J.
