John N. Mcbride Stops Collecting Ashes
According to Contract

John N. Mcbride Stops Collecting Ashes
According to Contract
John Mcbride, who holds the contract
for removing ashes from the Street and
Sewer Department, was reported last
evening at a meeting of the board to have
quit work and taken his teams away. The
contract was awarded to Mcbride some
time ago at $4, TAO per year. This Mcbride
claims to be inadequate. He asserts that
the man who filled out the form for the
contract made mistake of 81, 600. This
would appear to be the case as the seper-
ate bids of Mcbride for the three districts,
when Slammed up, amounts to $5,470.
Within the last few weeks numerous
complaints, sometimes as many as q
dozen day, about the accumulation OF
ashes, have been made to the Depart
ment, and with the ever increasing
quantity consequent on the approach OF
winter the complaints increased. Mr..
Mcbride was already using six carts and
wagon and was unable to put on more
teams without purchasing them. Some
weeks ago Street Commissioner McClos
key. was compelled to hire teams to help
Mcbride to remove ashes in four days
as required by contract.
The ashes not being removed ye ster-
day morning Mr. McOloskey hired teams
from Michael Riley and began to helE
Mcbride with his work. ThereuDor
Nc Bride quit work and took his teami
home, saying he would remove the asher
II given time, but could not do so in foul
days.
The Street and Sewer Commissioners
ordered the contractor to appear befor
them this evening.
