WILL PROBABLY REJECT
GARBAGE FRANCHISE

only ward voting against the bonds
was the First ward. and this by a
small majority
The majority of the counellmen
still advance the belief that the
logical solution Of the problem Is
for the city 10 own and operate
It's own garbage system.
The principal objection against
the franchise applied for by the
Seattle garbage company is that u
asks an exclusive franchise for a
period Of 90 years. and fixes such
wide latitude ia rates that tho
charges could be placed At an en-
tortionate figure. n 80 desired.
There a. now an unused apprO-
pnation Of SIS 900 from the general
fund. obtained by Councilman Muir
ply. which can be applied as the
nucleus for o municipal garbage
system. " a majority vote can b.
obtained IN the council Some OF
those who favor a municipal plant
are gtoadias, In demanding that the
money come from a bond issue, and
these c0uncilmen viii fight any
proposition OF using the ts5 900 for
garbage plant purposes.
