| ANNEXED CARRIAGE CONTRACT.
The special committee on the annexed
district garbage contract presented the
| following report:
| We, your special committee. to whom
was referred the matter of collecting the
| garbage in the annexed district. have
made an investigation and find that
| there is large proportion of the terri
| tory where there is no reasonable eX-
cuse or need for gathering the garbage.
| as the district is very thinly settled, and
w 1or Of : ln
| dents did not care or want the garbage
| collected. We also found that the garb-
age had been collected in a very small
portion of the territory, and we find
that the contract for the sum of five
hundred dollars per month for gathering
the garbage in the annexed district
seems to be an eXorbitant price We
would therefore recommend that the
contract be annulled. and that the city
make the necessary arrangements for
the gathering of the garbage in the por-
tion of the said district where it is found
necessary for the comfort and health
of the residents thereof The report
was adopted.
