GOVERNMENT ASKED
FOR GARBAGE
Needed for Use of D. C. and
Adjacent Territory, Com
missioners Say.

Authority and an appropriation for
the District Commissioners to establish
a government-owned garbage disposal
plant in the District of Columbia or ad-
jacent territory was under considera-
ton at a conference between the three
District Commissioners and the House
this morning.
After July / of this year the present
contractor for disposal of garbage de-
clines to fulfill his contract with the
District Commissioners and has for
feited his certified check for $4,000.
In asking for a hearing before the
House committee, Commissioner Brown
low, president of the board, stated that
immediate action is necessary, because
the collection of garbage should not
suffer interruption for single day.
that the time is short for the District
to arrange to dispose of it's own garb-
age and miscellaneous refuse.
In the bill submitted by the District
Commissioners no limit was set to the
amount of the appropriation. and au-
thority was asked to take any desirable
land owned by the District or federal
government in the District or nearby
territory.
Members of the committee felt that
some maximum amount should be set
ana some limit should be fixed as to
such property which the Commission
ers would not be allowed to commander
for the garbage disposal plant.
The resolution was passed authoriz-
ing Chairman Zen johnson OF the COM
mittee to appoint subcommittee OF
four including himself, to confer with
the commissioners for the purpose of
drafting bill to be submitted to Con-
gress as soon as possible.
Commissioner Brownlow pointed out
that under existing law collection and
disposal OF garbage and miscellaneous
refuse can only be done by contract.
The contract expires June 80, 1915
Commissioner Brownlow stated that
July 2. 1917, only one bid was re-
ceived-S129, 400 for collection and dis
posal of garbage and $4,000 for refuse.
The present contract is $69,S4O for gar
bage and $2S,400 for refuse. Bids were
again requested in September, 1917, and
one bid for collection and disposal of
garbage was s143.4o0. and several for
collection and disposal of refuse, the
lowest being $4,000. The bid for COL
lection of garbage was accepted and
the one for refuse declined. October Is
the Commissioners submitted their es-
innate to the Secretary of the Treasury.
