ASH COLLECTION.
CONTRACT OBE

New Rules Provide For More
Frequent Collections in
Winter

Directing the bureau of ash and
garbage inspection to prepare speci-
fications at once, to be approved by
Council, and then advertise for bids
for the removal of ashes, rubbish
and refuse from the city during
1919, city commissioners took action
to-day looking toward another con-
| tract for waste removal for next
year. An ordinance authorizing the
inspection bureau to make arrange
ments at once and get bids, was in
troduced by Commissioner S. L.
Hassler and passed first reading.
AT the same time Commissioner
Hassler submitted an ordinance pro-
Viding all necessary regulations for
collections of ashes. A conference
of the members of Council will be
held before the ordinance is passed
on first reading. If approved in it's
present form it will make a number
OF changes in the present collection
system, providing removal of ashes

also hoped to have daily collections
from hotels, restaurants and office
buildings. Ashes and refuse are not
removed from these places under
the present agreement which ends
December 81.
Commissioner Hassler explained
that to carry out the provisions of
the ordinance a larger appropriation
may be needed, as the bids will be
high. No estimate of the probable
amount which may be asked in bids
from contractors has been made by

to promote satisfactory collection

proposed measure. Among these are
rulings that the contracting firm
must have complaint forms to be
used in notifying the inspection bu-

Improvement will be $1,S75, but the
