Garbage Contract
Certioraried by One
of the Bidders

which he wished to go on record. He
wanted his reasons stated on the min
utes for voting ''nou in reference to the
motions to file the letters of David
Wilder and Elmer E. Hansell, Instead
of making answer to their complaints,
and in the third case he desired it to
be recorded that he favored a motion
to defend the ejectment suit of E. s.
Culver against the City of Wildwood.
The agreement was arrived at that
the city clerk should make the proper
entries on the minutes to rectify them
in accordance with Mr.. Hendee's re-
quest. Weekly financial report, taxes
and assessments 81, 80, water rents
$231.71.
The turning off Of water for the win
ter continues with a vengeance-the
superintendent officiating in this re-
spect twenty-six times last week; but
he brought US good news when three
new street connections were reported
to have been made, two for Henry
Ottens in North Wild wood, and the
other for Winchester Bonham, con-
tractor, on Aster road, Wildwood Crest,
who is building a bungalow immed-
lately opposite the stone bungalow
formerly owned by d. Miles Rigor.
The street commissioner reported
his discovery of a break in the big sew
er main at its very deepest part on
Park boulevard, right in front of the
disposal plant. Measures will be taken
to repair this break at the earliest
possible date.
The city clerk now read the type
written report of Foster Goslin, city
auditor, for the third quarter of 1919.
During these three months July, Au-
gust and September) the total receipts
from all sources were $S3, ISL rs, and
the total disbursements $72, 29I. 81. He
certified that the accounts in the var
ious departments had been carefully
examined and found to be correct.
All reports nov being in communi-
cations were next called for. One from
Mrs. Carrie Jimmerson, of 420 west
Cedar avenue, was the first 10 claim
attention, asking for more light. Pro-
tests from citizens on the west side
seem to be pouring in thick and fast.
Water doesn't appear to bother Mrs.
Jimmerson much, but she would like
to have the light turned on. She de-
| aIarod in hor laftor fhnf ~ urao IIdn-I-
as pitch" out there. Perhaps that is
not the only spot in the city where the
light should be turned on; but econo-
my in small things is the watchword
now.
David Wilder came into the lime
light again with another communica-
ton to the commissioners. 1t was
listened to with rapt attention. For
subtle sarcasm or innuendo it was
hard to beat. He referred to the dove
that the patriarch Noah is said to have
released from the ark, and which re-
turned with a leaf of some kind. He
wondered what kind of a leaf on the
west side any bird could find If the
commissioners who he said were mo
relations to Noah," were to release one
during a west side deluge. The in
ference is that the salt water flooding
destroys not only grass and flowers,
but trees and vegetables as well-''all
vegetation" in fact, as Mr.. Wilder
put it. 1t was amusing to hear his in
vitation to the commissioners to come
to fish in Park boulevard when the
flood is at its highest. He guaranteed
to give them a seat and to keep their
bodies dry from the waist line up, but
for their lower limbs he would take no
responsibility and cautioned them to
provide rubber boots for themselves
for the occasion.
Elmer E. Hansell followed up his
attack of last week by a second Install
ment yesterday. Hansel's dablias
were once a dream of beauty; but he
will try no more unless relief is had.
Not only were his lovely vsriegated
dahlias ruined, but his beautiful lawn
as well dDu LIS CciIal "oo hoouOu' LIZ
again threatened to press his suit for
$3.50 or $500 in damages unless the COM
missioners t'eome across" with the
needed legislation.
George Madara, Of west Pine avenue,
buttressed the dual attack Of Wilder
and Hansell, by telling the city's solons
that they were so obsessed with the
boardwalk delusion that they had
gone blind" to all other and more
crying needs. Madsra also is a ''hood
sufferer" and cited piteous evidences
of chloride of sodium destruction Oh
his premises.
The Mayor and Commissioner Ryan
were forced by these communications
