COUNCILS TO MAKE A MOTE FOE HEALTH
A solution to a question that has been
bothering city officials for several years was
presented to notice yesterday afternoon at
a meeting ot the Committee on Publio
"Works in the shape of an ordinance author
izing the disposal of the garbage of the
city. As everybody knows, a small portion
of the city's waste matter has been burned
in garbage furnaces, maintained by the
city at considerable expense and
small satisfaction. The balance has been
dumped into the rivers and in vacant
lots or dumps within the city limits, a
menace to health and public safety.
Every annual report for the past five
years from the Bureau of Health and the
officers having the disposition of garbage in
hand has contained a recommendation for
some other system of taking care of the
city's health as affected by her garbage.
The ordinance recommended yesterday
covers that point whatever may be its de
fects. Floating, Garbace Down the Ohio.
It provides for the removal of all gar
bage, sweepings, offal, dirt and refuse of all
kinds by a company composed of W. A
Hoeveller, George Trautman and li. B.
Brown, by floats or dumpboats, in which it
will be conveyed to a point down the Ohio
river and disposed of without expense to
the city. The floats are to be 300 feet long
and 24 feet wide, will be pro ided with
machinery for properly handling the stuff,
and located at convenient places all along
the city's river lrontage.
On the Allegheny nver the floats are to
be located at the following places: Be
tween the Exposition and Sixth street, near
the Ft. "Wayne bridge, between Twenty
sixth and Twenty-eichth streets, between
Thirty-second and Thirty-fifth streets, be
tween Fort -first and Forty-third streets,
near the Sharpsburg bridge and at Haight's
run. On the Slonongahela river between
Grant and Smithfield streets, near Brady
street, near the Four Mill run and at Hazel
wood; on the Southside near Sawmill run,
near South First street, between Xinth and
Thirteenth streets, at Nineteenth street,
and between Twenty-sixth and Thirtieth
streets.
Location of the Damp Floats.
The full complement of floats will not be
provided at once. The ordinance requires
that within six months after passage of the
ordinance six floats shall be placed where
Chief Bigelow may direct, and it makes
it unlawful to dump garbage any
where in the city except on
these dump boats under penalty
of a S50-fine. The charge of delivering
refuse is regulated as to the kinds, from
sweeping":, eta, at 20 cents a cubic yard, to
S2 a load and includes everything now
hauled to the city garbage furnace to night
soil and dead animals. The privilege of
loading and unloading material transported
by river is also given and a grant of ten
years is named, in consideration of taking
the refuse of the city streets at a reduced
rate not named.
The Pittsburg Sanitary Company had an
ordinance before Councils last year contain
ing practically the same provisions as this
one, but it died in committee. The same
centlemen were named in the previous or
dinance as the company. One of the com
pany stated yesterday that they proposed
eventually to'spend $175,000 in a plant for
carrying on the work if the city gave them
the privilege. Their intention is to flood
the carbage down to Bruuot's Island in
which they are interested, where it will be
dumped, distributed and separated. The
sweepings, street cleanings and dirt of that
character will be used to fill up the island,
place it above high water mark, and make
it valuable as real estate.
flaking: Money Oat of Garbage.
The veietnble and waste matter will be
converted into fertilizer and a schindery
will probably be erected in which the
carcasses of dead animals will be converted
into glue and the other products of such
institutions. The expense saved to the
citvwill be an item of importance. The
garbage furnaces need no longer be sup
ported and the property occupied by them,
which is talued at $12,000 or (15,000 can be
realized on. The labor and fuel re
quired for the garbage furnace on
the bluff amounts to $10,000 a
rear, while the Southside and East End
furnaces would aggregate nearly as much,
outside of the repairs and maintenance,
which cost a total ot ?1,000 more. The
scheme seems to meet with the approval of
the city officials generally. It was affirma
tively recommended to Councils by the
committee with a number of other ordi
nances, which were as follows:

"I am very much pleased with Chamber
lain's Cough Itemedy," says H. M. Bangs,
the druggist at Chatswortu, 111. "During
the epidemic of la grippe here it took the
lead and was very much better liked than
other cough medicines." The grip requires
precisely the same treatment as a very
severe cold, for which this remedy ii so
efficient It will promptly loosen a cold
and relieve the lungs, soon effecting a per

bow to the people of Pitts
burg. Our hopes for recog
nition and patronage were
built on honest goods, low
est prices, and the com
mon sense of the inhabi
tants of the Southside
our modest 20x40 feet store having been
located on Carson street. We did not
hope in vain. As water finds its level, so
our good, reliable make of clothing and
popular prices gradually but surelv found
their, way to the hearts and pocketbooks
of the people. I rade commenced to in
crease and kept on increasing. And as our
sales went up our prices went down. The result every
body knows. From a small store of 800 square feet in
a suburb to a magnificent business block of 100,000
square feet right in
burg! A HUNDRED FOLD INCREASE! What
more need we say? What more could we say?
Clothing, our first venture, is still our great specialty.
And it's still the same honest, reliable make as of yore.
Of course, the constant improvements in manufacture and our immense
outlet have combined to enable us to put down the prices; but, as we say,
the good, tried and trusted quality is still there. - The effect has been
phenomenal; the boys
to-day, and our clothing has become a household word in every tamily in
this section of the country. So much for a retrospect. Now tor a
look ahead. A future far more prosperous and successful than even our
glorious past confronts us. This season in particular finds us with better
facilities than ever to serve an intelligent, thrifty and appreciative public.
But, not another word. We will let our goods and prices s"ay the rest
when you call.

25 years, this testimonial is the second I
have Riven utterance to. However, I have
been importuned many times to do so. Tes

After losing ten months of time and busi

of "Rheumacuia" December 5,1831. and am
now practically well and have been for
some time.
I have delayed expressing my gratitude
from the fact that I wanted to be sure that I
was all right, as I did not want anyone to be
misled by any statement that I might make.

cannot make any mistake by giving Bheu
