Not only are these containers left half full of garbage at many times, but they are scattered all over the various lawns, and if they happen to roll out on the road, are usually left there. We realize that the collection of garbage and ashes, does little to inâ€" spire a man to better things, but if men are hired to do a job, they at least should do it properly while they are at it.

Although there were 12 men ridâ€" ing on the truck at the time of the accident, none of them were seriâ€" ously hurt. _ _ B Mr. Bogs also expressed the opinion that laxity on the part of plant inspectors was partly responâ€" sible for the thefts.
