Protest Against Imposition of Fines

Representatives of the Washington Fer
tilizer Company appeared before the Board
of Commissioners yesterday TO protest
against the imposition of fines against the
company for alleged defective service rem
dered in 1902 Attorney Donaldson. on be-
half of the company, explained that the
fines in question, amounting to about $3.50,
were charged against the fertilizer COM
pany in the months of July and August
1902 for alleged willful neglect In certain
portions of their work in collecting the city
garbage. He offered documentary evidence
to show that 1t had not been willfui neg
lect but a failure of the railroad COM
pany to promptly handle the tank cars,
which caused a temporary congestion in the
garbage service
1t was declared that there had been a
verbal agreement between the late Com
missioner Ross and members OF the fertili-
ger company that the fines mentioned
should be RENTED, but Commissioner West
stated that there was nothing the rec
ords which would seem to justify the Com
missioners to remit the fine, now that the
fertilizer company's five-year contract was
ended and the account was to be settled
by the auditor before the end of the fiscal
year.
The evidence offered was taken under ad-
visement by the board.
