Arrested for Robbery as He

There is belief among detectives

night when attempting to enter the

Officer Jorgenson, who was cover{

VISITING CITIES
TOF|X GARBAGE
REMOVAL COST
Aldermen in North Jersey to
Determine Cost of Removal
There

The street committee of the Board
of aldermen and the street commits
sion are today visiting several cities
in north New Jersey for the purpose
of determining the cost of garbage col
lection in those places, as compared
with the bids received here recently,
which are considered excessively high.
The committee, Aldermen Ander-
son, Reidy and Patten and Commiss-
ioner Munoz, left here for q visit to
Elizabeth, Bayonne, West Hoboken
and Union. This is the first inspec-
ton the committee will make, with
other cities to follow.
The figures in this years bids are
so much higher then previous bids
that aldermen have been backward
about letting the contract under exist
ing conditions. A comparison of tho
figures under which garbage was COL
lected for the past three years and the
figures submitted by contractors for
the current year and the two sue
ceeding years shows that the latest
figures are far more than double the
figure under which Graham & Nc
Keon worked for 1916, 1917 and 1918.
The contract awarded in 1916 for
the three year collection of garbage
to Graham & McKeon, was for $19,-
500 for one year, $4,000 for two
years and s5S.500 for three years.
Shows Big Increase.
The same firms bid. received last
Wednesday night for garbage collec-
tion were: One year $42,50O; two
years, $4,000; three years, $127,5o0.
where the contractor furnished the
dump. Where the contractor used
the city's dumping ground the figure
was lower, as follows: For one year,
s39.500; for two years, $4,000. and
for three years, s11S,50o.
The bids of the other three figures
were successfully an increase over
these figures.
The first bids received this year
which were rejected by the aldermen
were even in excss of the foregoing
figures. Gra' am & McKeon bid then
(using city dump) $4S,360 for one
year; $S5,000 for two years, and
$125,951 for three years (Using own
dump) $46,6S3 for one year; S93,3
for two years, and $4,000 for three
years.
Liddle & Pfeiffer. whose bid each
time has been slightly in excess of the
lowest bidder. proposed the following:
(Using city dump) one year, $43.375;
000. (Using own dump) one year.
$4,000; two years. $4,000; three
years, $142.500.
Much Speculation.
There has been considerable spec
ulation at city hall as to why the
figures should be what is considered
excessive, and why each bid changed
with conditions precisely same. from
the time they were first received until
they were received second time.
For the present Graham & McKeon
are continuing the collection on a cost
basis. working under municipal super
vision.

pointing a member of the Liaison
cations with the German delegation.

American representatives.
The German plenipotentiaries were
reported today to be preparing a for
NAL request that they be allowed to
communicate with the Austrian dele
fBdleS 10 the peace congress curing
the negotiations.
Germany is willing to make inte-
grail reparation but the conditions in
the peace treaty take from her all
means of doing so, Chancellor Scheu-
idemann told the national assembly
yesterday. according to the version of
his speech received here from Berlin.
He said that If Germany accepts and
signs the treaty she Will cease 10

The German government, he add
ed. considers the peace conditions of
the allied and -associated powers as
not acceptable. He criticized vehe-
lmently the actions of President VIII
son and said his attitude deceived the
hopes of the German people.
He announced that the German
peace delegation had presented coun-
ter proposals and would present
others. He said the most important
task of the delegationsRt present was
to open negotiations With the Allied
and associated states.
