ARBAGE AND DEAD ANIMALS.
Avy breezy debate sprang up over
the reort of the board of public works
In relion to including the removal of
dead nimals in the garbage contract.
Mr.. hodes, chairman of that commit
tee, cIimed that such was the intent of
the sntract with Ramisch & Co., as
oiaAtu Wy 1uo Clty dJbOTucy huu JldG
Ramrh & %. should be compelled to
remoB the dead animals according to
the tens of their garbage contract.
MrPessell said he did not favor this
proposition. The contract mentioned
proposed cremation within the city
limit, which he deemed contrary to
sanitary considerations.
M. Nickel said there had been con-
tract with Mr.. O'Farrell for the past
year and he had done his work we'll.
The dead animals had been carried
far outside the city limits, at least six
miles from the city hall, and cremated
where no noxions fumes could do any
damage to the public health.
Mr.. Rhodes said the board of public
works had reported against Mr.. O'Far-
rell's bid for the reason that it was too
high. He charged So for carrying off
dead dogs and 50 for cats.
Mr.. Nickel thought itwould be very
bad plan to readvertise this contract.
Parties had bid in good faith and it was
in very bad faith to take contract
away from q successful bidder because
some one now offered to do the work
cheaper.
The report was finally adopted; ayes
