The city's residents, last man, had promptly rushed? oUt en masse and piled the 'alleys -high with crates, cardboard boxes, buckets, tubs ot ashes. "They should have waited," '-the alderman with a thin, note of despair in-his voice. "They jumped the gun on us.

They should have waited until the" street department said it was ready, and until we had been able to define what kind of containers should be used."
