NOT FULFILLING CONTRACT

At the meeting of the board of aldermen yesterday afternoon, when Chairman Gray of the committee of finance and accounts came to the reading of the bill of Dunn and Lallande Bros, garbage contractors, Alder man Hentschel of the Ninth ward objected to it's payment.
 The alderman objected to the paying of the account on the alleged ground of their non-fulfllment of their contract with the city. He said that he could prove that on the southside they had failed to fulfill their contract, and he was opposed to paying their bill until they did so. He did not be- lieve it was fair to the people to pay for something they did not get. The sanitary inspectors compel the people to clean up their premises.

 Alderman Harrington said he would vote for the payment of the bill, but that there should be some means of compelling the garbage contractors to live up to their agreement. Possibly the firm of Dunn and Lallande Bros. was not to blame, but that the men under them failed to do their duty He had had three barrels of trash waiting in his back yard for the wagons five or six weeks. This matter had been neglected for the past ten or eleven years. and if was high time some improvement was made in the department
