company asks US to approve of this To-
cation and then it will put in extra
plant. When that is done, suppose
the people IN South st. Paul object to
the works, the company will say that
we approved of the site and that the
city is to blame. l will never vote for
such proposition.
Mr.. Holman, continuing. stated that
the company was dispoSing OF the gar
bage at South st. Paul, and there was
no complaint there from the residents.
Attorney WiIlard-But l have evil
dence to prove that the company is not
diSposing of the garbage, but is dump
ing it in the river.
This statement created quite stir,
which was increased when George
Lorge, a contractor living on the West
side, was allowed to speak. He stated
that he was one of the bOndSmen for
bidder. and that during the first week
he had watched some of the carts OF the
AZotine company, and saw them dump
ing the contents into the river beneath
the low bridge. Another man of the
company told him that he was hauling
the garbage to Fort Smelling to farm,
and receiving so cents load for 1t.
j. G. Donnelly-I would like to say
Mr.. MeCafferty-This man is being
heard by the committee, and object to
any outsiders interfering.
Mr. DOnnelly-But L want to state
that
Judge McCafferty-Mr. Chairman, the
AZOtlne company has its legal repre-
sentative. Mr.. Holman. and object to any
outsider interrupting the proceedings.
Mr.. Holman said that the company
was doing the work at South st. Paul,
and asked the council to approve that
location according to the contract.
Mr. McCafferty-You have sent US
statement demanding that the city keep
faith in this contract, but, as far as L
can see, the company has not done its
work. l will never vote for single
dollar to be paid the Az0tine company
until positive proof is sent here that the
garbage has been disposed of under the
MeTz process, and | will ask the health
officer TO see that this work is done. L
voted for the last account OF the COM
pany, believing in good faith that the
work had been performed, but they
came here and lied to us.
A long wrangle ensued as to the queS
ton OF the location OF the plant, the at
torney, Mr.. Holman, asking that the
council approve of the South st. Paul
site, and MeSsrs. McCafferty, Minea
and BanhOlZer opposing any such
proposition, maintaining that the con-
tract of The company stated that 1t must
select itssite and erect its p ants, when
the city shall approve of the same. The
city had no jurisdiction outside the city
limits, and the aSsemblymen would give
no hope of approval OF the South st.
Paul site. Eventually 1t was decided to
accept the report of the city attorney,
and that that gentleman be requested to
draft a resolution for the readvertising
for bids calling for the collection and
delivery of garbage to the AZotine COM
pany at its plant. wherever located.
In regard to the protest of property
holders on Fourth street against the
proposed paving, on the ground that
the sewer was not large enough TO carry
off the storm water, the superintendent
of sewers, Mr.. Wilson, stated that the
| gas company had been in the habit
of running tar into the sewer,
which. mixing with the sand,
caused it to clog. The gas company
| had now put in a pipe line from the
! Fourth street tunnel to its works for
| running off the tar, and the sewer
would now be perfectly adequate. 1t
was stated that certain persons were i'll
! disposed to pay for the paving, unless
| the Northern Pacific railroad company
/ paid half the contract price, as offered
by the read. the city attorney was in
structed to ascertain if the railroad
will pay half of the cost of paving the
| street.
A petition of residents on Exchange
street to change the name 10 Capitol
street was rejected.
The resolution to compel the railroad
| companies crossing Grove street to
bridge their tracks on that street was
reported upon favOrably.
