Commissioner of Public Works Block
has a new plan of rcvolutionizing the
garbage hauling business. Instead of
the city owning and operating heavy
garbage wagons. Mr.. Blocki proposes
that only wagon beds. made of solid oak
and therefore air tight and impervious

be hauled on wagon frames owned by
contractors. In this way the scattering
of refuse on the streets and the escape
of bad odors can he prevented.
The lowest bid for gas burners and
mantles to be used under the new gas
contract of the city was that of the
Davenport Gasliglt Company. which
offers to supply the city with 10000 to
100000 asbestos nantes at Gl5 cents
apiece. and 10000 TO $4,000 gas burners
at 42la cents each.
