Garbage service must improve immediately in Washington District
District officials ordered the Washington Fertilizer Company to raise garbage removal standards or face supplementary service at the contractor’s expense. A flood of complaints shows widespread neglect, especially in Mount Pleasant and Washington Heights, with fines failing to curb poor collections. Superintendent Stidham seeks bi weekly and tri weekly schedules aligned to contracts, while long term reforms aim to prevent recurrence. The contractor’s contract expires November 30 and new bids may rise due to expanded paved areas and higher labor costs.

Favoring Supervision of Deposit Accepting Firms
President S J Masters of the People's Bank argues in a letter to Commissioner Macfarland that real estate firms and corporations accepting deposits, along with bankers and building and loan associations, should operate under supervision by the Comptroller of the Currency or District Commissioner. He suggests savings banks alone are insufficient to justify a separate supervisor in Washington. The broader inclusion would require substantial supervisory effort.
