The question of the city dump was brought before the commission through the presentation of a petition signed by 165 property owners in the southwest side of the city asking that the city dump he removed as it was a menace to health and a detriment to that section of the city. It was also stated that the dump bred insects and rats and that the refuse blows over the yards of nearby property owners. County Health Officer Dr.

O. C. West admitted that tho dump was a breeding place for mosquitoes and flies and suggested that the time had come for the city to install an incinerator to care for the city refuse. After considerable dlscusfion the city manager wn. Instructed to rrake a careful survey of tho situation and of the cost of an incinerator and to report at the next commission meeting.

Cheaper Water. The suggestion was made by Commissioner Weil that steps be taken to ascertain the possibility of lowering the water rates to some extent at once. He suggest ed a cut of probably cents a thousand gallons and of 5 cents for the minimum. He stated his belief that such a cut would result in more water being consumed and as a result the water department fund would not suffer through the reduction, Commissioner Well stated that If this first cut could be made, it would bo his Idea that from time to time similar cuts could bo made and the standard of the water service be maintained and the department still remain self supporting. Following discussion of the onestion City Manager James Gladding was instructed to compile a report covering tho entire water situation and to submit the report at the next regular meeting.

Clean l'p Week. The two weeks starting next Monday were officially declared "city clean up weeks by tho commission and a plan will be worked out whereby the city can be districted and the city trucks be available to carry refuse to the city dump. The co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce, trucking companies and various civic organizations will bo sought to make the movement a success. Klcctric Cojiiliniiy Protests. Claiming that if the street car company was required to pave any more of Its tracks, tho company would have to stop operations, George Roslington, of the City Klectrlc company, offered to lease the street railway to the city for a period of 20 years at a rate which would return 8 per cent on the appraised valuation of the tracks.

Mr. Roslington claimed that tho company has recently pah! $30,000 paving and stated that he could see a cost for such work of about $170,000 in the next few years. Ho urged the city to let the remaining paving In such a manner that the property owners would pay to the center of the streets upon which there are street car tracks instead of to within a foot of the tracks. "It would take three cents of every passenger's fare for tho next ten years to pay off the street car track paving," Mr. Roslington stated.

He was protesting mainly against the company having to pay for the track paving on the proposed paving of North Second street. He stated that the tracks were worth about $3 a foot and that If tho paving program was carrier! out in the present manner. the tracks would have to be mortgaged to the extent of $4 a foot. He will submit a formal written protest which will be acted upon at the next regular meeting. COAL STRIKES COST MILLIONS IN LOST WORK One-Day Service Also Eastman Kodaks and Films.

216-226 North Second UY FREDERIC J. JMSKIX. I Washington, April 19. Government intervention In the coal strike, or soma official action to relieve the situation, was promised "when the situation becomes acute," or when the public begins to feel the pinch of the coal shortage. There are experts who contend that tho public was pinched from tho moment the strike was threatened, and such of these experts as are not engnged on one side or tho other of tho wage controversy are now busy computing the costs of the strike.

Their figures aro at once interesting and startling. The average citizen probably goes his serene way without a thought that the coal strike is hurting him until suddenly he finds that he cannot get coal when ho wants it. or muHt pay a higher price than he was charged for his last order, and it is at this average citizen that tho experts are aiming their broadsides of statistics. Thus David L. Wing who has studied i the coal problem for years, says: i "Since every cost or waste in i coal production, whether it be of natural resources, or man power or of capital, must eventually be borne by the coal consumer, it Is i not enough for the man in the I street merely to read the news of I threatened strikes, grumble over high prices and talk of profiteering and nummary legislation, Ho must I realize that this is a problem which ho too must co-operate in solving.

I by bringing about an Intelligent public opinion without which no sound nnd equitable settlement of the coal problems of this country is possible." From 1910 to 1918 strikes caused 10.6 per cent of tho Idle days in the bituminous coal Industry. The figure for the year 1919 was still larger, and for the current year it may be one to challenge public attention. At any rate, the prospect warrants consideration of the cost of tho strike that began April 1. Exact compilations of strike costs are impossible. Tho bureau of labor statistics long since aban doned efforts In that line, for even this government agency could never secure complete reports on such concrete items as loss in wages and loss in products, and at the same time there are many items entering into the cost of a strike that are indefinite and susceptible only of estimate or approximation.

Giving the Public a Jolt. However, in the case of a basic industry such as coal the statisticians have more Informing data with which to give the public a Jolt. First of all, they point out that a total cessation of coal production and exhaustion of coal supplies on hand would result In the complete Industrial and commercial paralysis of the nation; famine and death would speedily stalk the land and chaos ensue. Government itself would break down and civilization totter and fall. That is the possible ultimate cost of the coal strike, and is beyond reckoning In money.

Nothing like that would ever be permitted to happen, of course, but the picture is one to be borne In mind. Getting down to dollars and cents, the first item is the waga loss of the mine workers. If there are 600.000 miners Idle as a result of the strike their loss each day totals at least 4. 200,000 on the basis of their average earnings per day worked in 1920. Next comet the loss in wages to workers out- tside the coal industry upon whom idleness Is forced by reason of the strike.

Thousands oi railroad workers were laid off the first week of the strike one system alone laying off 16,000 and their number will be added to a the strike continues or becomes more effective. Other thousands of workers who handle coal somewhere along the line between the railroad terminal and the consumer's bin likewise will have Idleness thrust upon them, and passing from them to the workers in manufacturing establishments that cannot operate without coal yet another wage loss is to be chalked up. I In the early days of a strike such as the ono now miner consideration only the haziet of estimates can bo made as to its dirct't effect upon other industries, for reports of shutdowns are or necessity in complete and notoriously inaccu rate. It may be slgniiicanc 10 noio. however, that a large steel mill In Youngstown, that had been closed down for a long period wan scheduled to resume work the first week in April and did not do so because of the strike and threatened coal shortage, and that other largo steel plants in tho Pittsburgh district were closing down or reducing their scale of operations within a few davs after tho stiilte was called.

To the wage loss of all these workers Is to be added the productive value of their labor had they been employed, for every man at work produces something of value to society that is lost irrevocably when he Is idle. Naturally each man's productive value depends upon the nature of his work, and to arrive at this item in tho coat of tho coal strike one man's estimate or guess Is as dependable as tho next's. Perhaps fne most Illuminative conception of tho value of time when usefully employed is conveyed in the old copy-book aphorism, "Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes; no reward is offered for they are gone tor-over." A Loss Everybody Shares. But every member of society, be he business man, professional man, farmer, workman or parasitic idler, must share in this loss occasioned when a day's wage it not earned and hence cannot be spent and tho product of a day's labor has not been realized and is gone forever. Everybody has seen a town or small city, largely dependent upon ono business or manufacturing establishment, "go dead" when that establishment suspends operations for a period, and a like deadening effect, more or less serious, must be felt in every section of the country when so essential industry as coal i suspenus operations or is only partially productive and hundreds of thousands of wage earners go on an indefinite vacation.

Tills deadening effect, moreover, according to economists, be gan with the fust serious threat of the coal strike. They point out that Willi tho opening of the presont year there was a very general determination to pull the country out of tho slough of business 'depression and bring about that "return to normalcy" of which so much has been heard and so little realized for many months. Men in all lines of endeavor wcro planning to get under full swing ngain, and pcr-hapo to extend or expand their operations New enterprises were projected, bankers were more optimistic, credits were becoming easier, capital was seeking work to do instead of a hole in which to hide. The road to prosperity seemed open again. Then came tho controversy between tho coal miners and 'operators, with a practical certainly of a strike on the first of April.

"Better wait and seo what happens" instead of "up and at-'eni!" became the watchword in tho business and commercial world, and there again is found a very indefinite but none the less real item of loss that is to bo added to the cost of tho coal strike.
