ALEXANDER GETS HIS $1OO
Board Of Public Works Fails TO Meet
and Garbage Collectors Slnecure
Goes On

The failure Of the board of public
works to hold its regular meeting yes
terday afternoon was the occasion Of
considerable unfavorable comment
from large number of persons who
had been officially notified to attend
the meeting and register protests
against proposed improvements. The
Inference was freely made that there
was method in the failure of the mem-
bers of the board to put in an ap-
pearance and that was that Garbage
Collector Alexander might continue to
hold his $100 day sinecure
This is made possible by the fact
that yesterday was the day on which
the board was to take action in award
ing the contract for the new stee;
garbage wagons for which bids were
submitted last Monday. The plan of
the board is to award the contract
and allow 80 to 60 days for the sue
cessful bidder to secure the wagons
before the contract becomes operative
Every day that the award is delayed
puts $100 more into Alexander's pocket
Alexander was one of the five bid
GERS for the garbage wagon contract
but was underbid by two others. II.
j. Mcclure was the lowest bidder,
