GARBAGE DISPOSAL BY con-
TRACT.
Relative to the last two recommended
/ tions. FernstroTn moved TO strike them
out, and made an elaborate argument
against the proposition TO allow insult
ficient maintenance for the health de-
partment. a s to the plan TO have the
.arbage disposed of by contract, he de-
clared that in the interest of proper
sanitary regulations and economical
and satisfactory service, he could not
favor the scheme.
Patrick thought there was no ques-
ton of the economical and satisfactory
service by contract
Diehl, addressing Fernstrom, declared
that Scandal and Germany never
agreed in the council till now, and he
pledged support to his colleague for the
maintenance of proper sanitary regu-
lations.
CaIliSter said the recommendation as
to disposal of garbage was merely pre-
liminary and experimental. and oppor-
tunity would be afforded to go into the
merits OF the scheme later.
Howe believed that the cheaper plan
could not be definitely known until bids
were opened.
