concerts TOR Barre and proponents of the
long -heralded garbage system found
themselves sharply aligned at the regu-
lar meeting of the city council last night
and before the question of garbage dis
posal had been reegated to the hands of
the health committee those of the fathers
who have argued strenuousIy for re.
movai system nearly succeeded in calling
the turn on others who had favored de-
ferring final action by suggesting that
the money usually diverted to the Citi-
zens' band be spent in removing garbage,
etc. Music lovers were spared the neces-
| sity OF going without their concerts this
season when favorable report from the
special band committee was accepted bv
a majority vote of one.
Bids submitted by S. d. Siblev, r. y.
Blouin, Fl. /. Douglas and James v. Rob-
erts, each of whom had his own price for
attending to the garbage or tin can dis.
posal, led to the friendly clash of opin-
ions. Mr.. Sibley offered to gather gar
bage. swil, etc, to the satisfaction of
the health committee for $500 per year,
and to collect tin cans, waste paper and
the like for $3.50 during the same period.
Barring ashes in his bid, Mr.. Blouin
promised to remove the city's garbage for
81 500 per year. Mr.. Douglas offered to
collect cans, bottles, waste paper and to
include the garbage removal for 81 POO
each year. For 500 Mr.. Roberts con.
sented to collect cans paper, and fight
rubbish.
To bring the matter to head, Alder
man Rossi moved that Mr.. Sibley be
awarded the contract for removi no cans
and waste paper at $780, A Iderman
Cook seconded the motion. Alderman
Bruce thought there was enough law in
the city ordinances to compel people to
do their own removing, view shich the
clerks reading of the ordinance section
seemed to substantiate. Alder man Keast
thought the matter would rest well for
another year. Messrs. Ross and Cook
we're agreed that the band concerts could
be cancelled for the season, as the gar
bage system appeared to be more urgent.
1t was on Alderman Shurtleff's motion
that the health committee was instructed
10 investigate the bids.
Enter band committee with its report
1n the negotiations with the management
,f the Citizens band. Chairman Glys-
ION reported a conference with the man
iger in which the sum of 81 900 for l6
concerts was asked, which was equivalent
o renewal OF last years contract. The
ommittee recommended its acceptance.
'ir. Glysson's motion for acceptance and
o instruct the committee to sign con-
ract for the concerts was seconded by
tir. Bruce, and Alderman Keast's motion
o reduce the band contract to $500 was
ost. The motion, minus tie amendment,
vas deadlocked and on a call for the yeas
