No other than oertilled licensed wagons are to bo allowed and some adequate plan is to bo provided for disposal of rubbish as well us garbage. Some regulation must ho imposed upon careless owners of barns and poultry yards. "In caring for the city poor I have been very careful to guard the city treasury against imposition by float ing "hoboes" ami others not needing or deserving city help.
