Charles c. Fischer, of York, Pa., i.
 expected to arrive in Bridgeport be- fore night to consummate a deal with J. B. Livingstone, of the Bridgeport By-Products Co.,, by which Fische will purchase for $32, 800 the Asylum street garbage reduction plant. Fisch- CT expects to install his own machin- cry in the building and to use the site for the reduction of Bridgeport garbage for $10 years at N per ton This is twice the price in the con- tract between the city and the Bridge port By-Products Co.
 F1scher's arr-vai is all that is de laying the completion of the deal. He was expected early today, but up to noon he had not been heard from. However, he has an option upon the Asylum street plant, obtained from W. l.. Severance, the owner, who took the property when it was sold in re- ceivership proceedings. The original figure in the option was $40.00O, but by several dickers the Shrewd Penn sylyania contractor has brought the price down to $32, 300.
 Fischer has assured the city's rep sesentatives that he has an odorless process and he is willing to be held responsible financially if he fails to fulfill his promise to reduce the gar bage without the objectionable stench that has caused several years of dis content among the residents of the vicinity of the AsyluW street plant. Fischer expressed his dissatisfaction to Livingstone several days ago, on his leaving the city. with his Asylum St. proposition, for he said it was too far. away from the coal yards. He said he preferred the Hollister avenue site. This was before the price came down from $49,000.
 Upon the failure of C.>H. Wheel wright, president of the American Ex- tractor Co. of Providence to carry out the garbage reduction contract-he having suffered the loss of his finan- cal backersLthe Board of Health voted to award the contract to the bidder whose proposition was consid- cred next best to Wheelwright's That years reduction contract at S1 a ton was satisfactory to the board.
 Fischer posted $1.000 as a guarantee of good faith, that he would sign a contract to reduce the garbage in a plant suitable to the city. Fischer's earnestness was apparent from the fact that he left the terms of the contract to the Board of Health He was willing to deliver the goods under any reasonable regulation, he said and did not hesitate to risk s1.000 on the chance that the contract the city would offer him could be fulfilled
 The contract has not yet been sign ed. Mayor Buckingham and City At torney Cullinan spent several hours in conference today discussing the vari- ous phases of the garbage reduction problem. But both felt sure the con- tract that will be submitted to MT Fischer will be satisfactory. It will be modelled on the contract signed by MT. Wheelwright, with certain notifications.
 One of the most important of these notifications it is expected will. be the elimination of that portion relat- ing to the purchase by the city of the privately owned plant, on the ex- piration of the 10 years contract. The municipal garbage plant will thus be- come a thing more remote than ever.
 Mir. Fischer has assured the Board of Health that within 90 days of the signing of the contract he will be ready to receive the entire garbage collection of the city for reduction. Last week when he appeared before the Board of Health he said he was only waiting to get such a site as would be satisfactory to the Board of Health before beginning actual work Tn the meantime garbage will be buried at the Lakevfew home prop erty at 50 cents a ton. This is the same price as was given the By-Pro- ducts people for reduction.
 With the did bosal of the problem of awarding the contract which has been
