6 THE EVED ING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY............. June 26, 1595. CROSBY S. NOYES....... settee Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regu a Permanent circulation much more than the combined cireul: the other Washington dailtes. News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Ana © In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. After devoting a great deal of time and attention to the important matter of gar- bage collection and disposal, the District Commissioners have awarded the contract under the new system to the contractors who have rendered unsatisfactory service under the old system, the present garbage collectors, and the holders of the tem- perary four months’ contract from July Ist. Incineration is the variety of garbage disposal for which -offictal preference has been expressed, and definite announcement has been made that the sum of $57,000 a year will be paid for the collection and de- struction of the waste matter which is now largely disposed of by being dumped into the Pctomac. The people of Washington cannot be otherwise than glad to know that the improper and unhealthy methods which have been in vogue here for such a long time are to be displaced by better ad- ministration and modern machiffery. The new contract does not by its terms become effective for more than four months, and for this four months of ancient-style, of- fensive and unsatisfactory service from she Ist day of July the same contractors are to receive as compensation a sum suffi- clent to pay for six months of the im- proved service and nearly as much as one or two of the bidders were willing to do the work for the whole year through and to do it under one of the modern systems. Since the temporary and permanent con- tractors are prectically the same, the tem- porary should be merged in the permanent arrangement and the Commissioners may properly insist that all haste be made in the construction of such buildings and equipments as are needed to incinerate our garbage, so that the city may no longer be disgraced by the anti-hygienic garbage-disposal practices which have stirred Alexandrians up to physical pro- test. Experts say that it would be possi- ble to have the crematories in full running order in about forty days; if that really be so then the Commissioners should stir the centractors to instant activity, so that the present extremely offensive method of dis- Posal may be discontinued at the earliest possible date. It may be urged that the contractor who will attend to the collec- tion and disposal for four months, in con- sideration of the payment by the District of an enormous price, is not the success- ful bidder for the remainder of the five- years’ term, but those who know anything as to the local situation will not be de- ceived by such a specious technicality, for the two brothers are practically one firm. It is indicated that the cremation system used in Atlanta is to be employed, unless the Commissicners impose a veto, and that the crematories are to be placed within the city limits. The residents of one of the sections where the location of a crematory is proposed have announced that they will not meekly acquiesce in placing what they claim will be a nulsance in the immediate vicinity of their homes; and that there wiil surely be appeals to law for their protec- tion. This action may not be unreasonable, since it is on record that the system which the contractcr proposes to operate here is not entirely unobjectionable. At least, the New York commissioners who were en- gaged in searching for a garbage-destroy- ing plant that worked satisfactorily, came to this conclusion, according to “Munici- pality and County,” which, telling the story, says: “It is erroneous to state that this sys- tem has no uncbjectionable features. Even while the commissioners were making the Inspection, there was litigation pending in the superior court of Atlanta concerning it, About thirty people who own property near the works are seeking to enjoin the city from the use of these dumping grounds because it is a nuisance, claiming that it produces smoke and noisome smells, and is making the people in that vicinity sick and their lives miserable." The District Commissioners will doubt- less require either a disproval of the ob- Jections urged against the Atlanta system, or, if this system is used, the location of the crematories outside the city limits. Under an incineration system there are no inducements held out to the contractor to collect all the garbage. The less the amount he collects, the smaller will be the expenses of collection and burning and the greater the contractor's profit. It there- fore behooves the Commussioners to bind the contractor more tightly on this point than heretofore, and to provide an efficient inspection force which shall see to it that the contractor does not neglect his duty to the community. Not so long ago the contractor was urging in his own behaif that thorough collection could not be ex- pected of him because the amount of money he received would not justify him in em- ploying a larger number of men and horses and carts. ‘there never was anything in that claim, for it was the contractor's busi- ness to do everything he promised to de or throw up his job. But under the new con- tract there can be no possibie excuse for anything less than compiete collection and @ destruction so satisfactory that neither individuals nor the general public shall have any cause for complaint. The Com- missioners have been supplied with ample funds to prevent the city garbage from be- coming a nuisance, either uncollected at the houses of citizens, or at the crematory where it is disposed of, and the community will expect netning less than this to be ac- compiished. —_- see - —__ Less than half a hundred men were em- ployed today upon the skeleton of the new city post-office. With such an insignificant force anything like reasonably-rapid pro- gress is simply impossible. To make good the promise of completion during 1st promise carved on the structure's forefroat —the supervising architect will have to do What will, on a government job, be re- garded as phenomenal! hustling. — ee It may be good natured in Virginia to maintain Jackson City, ete., as a dump for the exiled gamblers of other states, but she should remember that Alexandria county, mirus the dump, is one of Wash- ington’s most attractive suburbs, and lo- Gate elsewhere the receptacle for whit New Jersey has ejected. —__+ «+ -—___ Such assaults as that committed last, evening upon Policeman Greer by a crowd which tried to rescue a prisoner from his custody should be followed by the most se- vere punishment upon all the participants that the law can impose. An officer was doing his duty, and, from the evidence, he was not abusing his privileges but was making the arrest in an orderly manner. ‘The prisoner’s efforts to escape were aided by a gang of his friends who beat the policeman so severely that he may die. Contempt of the law and its agents is thus manifested by mgn who band together to make arrests of their members impossible. It is a bad element, and tends to the crea- tion of a dangerous sentiment. The p: sons who took part in what was really a THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. riot should be apprehended and receive the full extent of the law’s allawance in pun- ishment, and if the officer's wounds should prove fatal indictments for homicide should Promptly follow. It is to be feared that much <f this spirit of resentment against the police force has been bred by the nu- merous meetings that have been held of late &8 a consequence of the unpunished shoot- ing of a man in Hillsdale by a policeman. Whatever may have been the right or the wrong in that affair, and The Star has amply expressed itself on that point, the present case contains no elements that go to modify the danger that this assault upon Greer involves to the peace and good order of the city. ————__+ 2 —_____ Last Saturday The Star called attention to the fact that the shade-trees, of which the people of Washirgton are so proud, and which contribute so liberally to the natural beauty of the National Capital, were seri- ously enGangered by caterpillars. 1t now appears that the authorities are practically without means to do anything at this time likely to interfere with the ravages of the pest. That something ought to be done to save the trees must be evident to all who are interested in what is pre-eminently the decorative feature of Washington's beau- tiful highways, but unless there is active individual effort the probabilities are that a large proportion of the caterpillars now at work within the District of Columbia will be permitted to go ahead and do all the damage they possibly can without hindrance from those who, while the offi- clal guardians of the trees, are unable to afford their wards the protection they now sorely need. Co-operative effort by public- spirited citizene will do much to discourage the caterpillar, improve the situation, and benefit the trees. It would be a good thing for the Parking Ccmmission to take the imitiative in organizing a force of volun- teers, through whcse efforts a large num- ber of threatened trees may be saved from destruction. Scmething like that was suc- cessfully accomplished In Brooklyn. —_—_ + ee - Young America and Old America should be in hearty accord as to celebrating our great national anniversary, now near at hand, and as popular opinion seems to favor a noisily-explosive sort of celebra- tion, the minority that would favor more rational remembrance must be content tov) “grin and bear it." But there is no reason why the youngsters should take advantage of the license generally accorded them on the “glorious Fourth" to extend their ear- splitting privileges over a period of a week or two. For three or four days past the sound of active and vehement fire-crackers has been a feature of city existence and as the great day draws nearer there appears to be steady increase in the volume of sound which distresses unnecessarily so many people. The firing of pistols and the setting-off of cannon crackers on the pub- lic streets is an offense against the law and one of which the police should take cognizance but which, strangely enough, seems to be unheeded even by those officers who are, as a rule, quite anxious to make @ record for arrests. When the Fourth of July comes along, then, in accordance with a@ time-honored custom there will be rum- bus galore, but there surely is no necessity fuer anticipating the least essential feature of the national holiday. —___+ ++___- It is stated tlat the President will pass the Fourth of July quietly.
