Columbia Supply Company Still
After the Garbage Contract.
MAY APPEAL TO THE COURTS
Attorney Thomas Approves of Mrs.
Norton's Permit to Build q Stable.
Application for. Injunction Proba-
bIe-Orders for Sewers, Street
Lights, and Side walks.

The Columbia Supply Company entered
a formal protest yesterday against the
award to Joseph N. warfield of the con.
tract for collection and disposal of garbage
as recently made by the Commissioners.
The company's bid was less than that
| made by Mr.. WaTfield, but was rejected,
| 1T is alleged, on account of informality and
non-confornlity to specifications. There
was no suggestion, ,asrequired, ofthe method
of destruction, and it was understood by
the commissioners in an indefinite way that
the refuse was to be hauled TO the country
in summer and cremated in winter. The
board did not consider this as sufficiently
explicit, and rejected the bid. The COM
pany threatens to apply for an injunction.
The Commissioners claim they also ex-
ercised their right TO state which system
OF destruction shall be employed, and that
the bids were solicited with that under
standing.
Attorney Thomas has rendered an opinion
favorable to Mrs. Mary L. Norton, in the
controversy raised about the construction
OF stable on her premises, and against
which Mr.. C. E. Foster, and others, filed
protests.
The attorney decides that as Mrs. Nor
ignored nor annulled. The case will prob
ably go to the court for final adjudication
