COLLECTION
BIDS FOR WORK HIGHER THAN
EVER BEFORE.

The Increased cost-of-livng'' experts
should make an investigation of the condi-
lions in Washington. Less than month
ago the District government asked for bids
for lighting the city's streets and alleys
1t was found when the bids We're opened
that all prices were higher and that con-
templated extension of service would have
to be abandoned and the present service
curtailed II the expenditures were to be
kept within the appropriation. There were
charges that the capital city was in the
grasp of the light trust
Now comes Superintendent Stidham Of
the STRENGTHENING department. who an
rounces to the waiting public that after
looking over the bids for the collection and
removal of garbage and refuse. which were
opened yesterday, he discovers that for the
same service the lowest bid is more than
so per cent higher than the appropriation
will justify. His summary shows that the
District is paying at present the modest
sum of s9S,579 per annum for this service,
and that the low bid for the same service
next year is s153, 760.sO or an increase of
$55, 1Sl so per annum. This is calculated to
set the city fathers to thinking.
Furthermore Mr.. Stidham, being DESTROYS
of placing the service on a more practical
some improvements and extensions From
the bids opened yesterday he finds that
the contemplated service will cost annually
$1SG, 260. 80 increase of SS7, 6S1. so over
the amount of the contract for the present
year.
Mr.. Stidham is not discouraged however
He stated to representative of The Star
that the District intended to establish a
real, sure enough service, and that the old
system was expensive at any price He
believes that the good people of the city
of Washington and vicinity will get their
moneys worth when the new service is
plants will be as scarce as snow in the
summer time.
Not Yet Convinced.
Mr.. Stidham is not convinced that the
new bids low enough to accept He
has not completed his estimates and will
not submit any recommends lions to the
Commissioners for several days. A certain
increase is unavoidable In the cost Of this
work, for various reasons. It Is understood
that the present contractors for garbage
ETC., are losing money under present condi-
tons. number of dumps for ashes etc.
which have been in use are no longer avail
able and longer hauls are therefore neces-
sary. Conditions have been attached to the
higher.
The lowest possible combination OF bids
for the removal of garbage and dead ami
mails on a fve-year contract with a contin-
uation of the present service Is $50, 76O, the
Washington Fertilizer Company to remove
garbage and Patrick Mann to take care Of
dead animals. This is an increase of $751;

To Be Painted Slate Color

AS the result of recent experiments il
has been decided by the Navy Department
to change the color of torpedo boats and
torpedo boat destroyers, which have here
tofore appeared in a shade of green. to
slate color. 1t was found that slate color
better answers the purposes of partial in
visibility so greatly desired in the case of
warship and particularly desirable in
the case of small craft of the class OF tor
pedo boats, whose usefulness in time of
war is greatly enhanced by the secrecy of
their movements.

A BROKEN LEG
Sustained by Mrs. w. 3. Arnold by
Fall on Slippery Sidewalk.

Mrs. w. Z. Arnold was the victim OF
q serious accident, while walking on
one of our principal streets at about 5
o'clock. Thursday afternoon. which is
likely to give her trouble for the re-
mainder of her life. She WAS passing
the corner Of Main and Temple streets.
in front of II. l.. kellcy'S book store.
when her feet came in contact with a
sheet of glare ice. which had the de-
ccptive appearance OF the concrete
walk underneath.
Not prepared for such d surprise. she
slipped and fell. breaking both bones
of her right leg at a point about mid
way between the knee and the ankle.
DR.. T'hayer was Immediately sum-
moned and she was at once driven to
hcr home on Silver street. The break
WAS found to extend diagOnally
through both bones. Dr. Thay"r at
once reduced the fracture and she has
since been remaining very comfort
able.
Mrs Arnold is IS years of age. and q
very active and helpful member of
Waterville society. Owing to her ad-
vanCed years and the seriousness of
the fracture. she will be missed from
social circles for some time. but no
further results are feared except the
tedious confinement.
