BIG IMPROVEMENT
 WILL BE MADE IN LOCAL GARBAGE PLANT

Expenditures amounting to $50,00O will be made on the city garbage plant in order that 200 tons of garbage may be disposed of daily. Charles c. Fish CT has been awarded the contract for disposing of the refuse for ten years and final articles with the city were signed Saturday.
 A three story cement block building will be erected and eight new diges- tors with the four now in use will be installed so that when the plant is in operation about four tmies as much garbage as now disposed of can be handled. The cost of reduction is s1 a ton, the same as now paid, and it is expected the plant will be ready for operation by October l.
 In the past much delay has occurred but it is expected that this will be done away with under the new con- tract.
