men of temporarily. In his opinion
tho mcn ought mover 10 have boon laid
of. lilo had often reported garbage not
collected, but Clark oven then would
lay him oil. At no timo was tho Island

could do tho work all over tho city suits.
f~nctorily for $1,000 for tho two years.
Mr.. Warneke wanted TO know what
was bolng considered: Clark's doings
last year or Poyton's bid.
MI. Richards replied thOt tho COM
mittcG should know how Clark fulfilled
his contract. As TO whether Clark
made money out VI his contract, ho did
not know.
Finally Peyton said no would not nc.
cept tho contract ut his bid il he had to
put on twelve carts, and no retired,
alter which Mr.. Farrell again moved
puyton DO given the contract. 1he
chairman declined 10 entertain tho mo.
ton as the mau declined to tako Tho con-
tract under tho conditions. Mr.. Farrell
wanted to know what guarantee there
Is that only carts will BIO used. The
chairman replied that tho resolution
for twelve carts must be lived up TO.
Other members oil tho committee
took the same position.
= "WhNt difference does it make ii tho
back yards arc kept cIeau?' remarked
Colonel Farrell.
1t was finally decided to have the
other bidders brought in and see Oh
what basis tho bids were made.
J. c. MCCrIckon based his bid on tho
advertisements, twelve carts in tho four
summer months. 10 Mr.. Farrell no said
he could got all tho wards twice 4
week, before and alter tho four hot
months, with six carts.
Thomas CoiIGy, who bid $l2,4SO, was
ncxt interviewed. Ito calculated to use
twelve carts during the four hot months,
and fulfil tho conditions OF tho ordi-
nance. lie had not proposed to put on
carts.
Whom Cotley lett Mr.. Richards re-
marked that no progress seemed TO have
been made, but John Carney, q $4,000
bidder, was called, and understood that
both wagons and carts wero to be used.
lie had figured to do the work better
than ANY mon that walks tho streets OF
Wheeling" When hia horses passed
up Market street "hali the street will
be out a lookin' at EN-, and | expect to
have n buggy and see tho work is done
roiGht. 1t will be the purtiost job you
ever Gee" Ito also stated that he would
be ct the bottom Of the hill when the
drivers least expected. lie was willing
to put the carts on il necessary. With
n concluding remark about his pretty
crowd OF horses" Carney departed.
James Conrod, who bid at Sl2, 500, I'M
derstood wagons and carts were to be
used. According to him, two horses
will walk faster than one" lie had
hauled garbage, and wagons in some
parts OF tho city, ho said, give better
service than carts. lie claimed when
he was fined before it was not through
his fault.
"Well. gentlemen, what are you 60.
ing to do?" remarked the chairman.
There's no use sitting hero looking at
each other"
Mr.. Deiters thought it advisable to
recommend W or three bidders to
council, and suggested William Carney
and Charles Becker. The sentiment,
however, was in favor OF ono recon-
mendation.
Mr.. Warneke moved that William
Carney's bid OF Sl3, 900 be recommended
for approval. The chairman was doubt
full il a high bidder could be recon-
mondod. Mr.. Richards amended BY
suggesting the recommendation OF
Charles Becker, whose bid was SO, 100.
Mr.. Richards said tho reason he did not
move TO recommend the two bids ii the
McCrackens for recommendations was
the general opinion held that the work
cannot be done for $4,000 or less.
Finally the Richards amendment
that tho contract be recommended to
be given to Becker at ST. 100 was put
and was lost, Mcssrs. Richards and
Deiters voting for DecSer and the other
four members against.
Mr.. Warneke's motion to recommend
the Carney bid was then put, Messrs.
Farrell, Warneke and Caldwell voting
in the affirmative and Messrs. Richards,
Israel and Deiters in the negative. Tho
motion was declared lost.
A vote was next taken on J.. W. Ne
Cracken's bid oil 1891 81 and resulted
in n defeat; three to four.
Mr.. Deiters then moved Mr.. CoHey's
bid OF Sl2,4S0 DO recommended, but
Mr.. Richards amended by naming
William Carney, and the latter was
named.
The committee adjourned at 1920
o'clock.
