Excerpt from Report of Committee on Disposal of Waste and Garbage: Presented at the Nineteenth Annual Meeting of the American Public Health Association, Kansas City, October 20-23, 1891
A short time ago, at Buffalo, N Y., the mayor appointed a citizens' committee on street daning and garbage removal. He honored me by appointment on that committee, and I urged the use of such carts for short hauls. They are now in use by the street commissioner, and I understand they are perfectly satisfactory. The only objection to them is an absence of the iron cover. Another good cart is known as the Flannagan automatic garbage-cart.
