Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1920-06-16
FEASIBLE SCHEDULE
ALSO ARRANGED


Council last night TO give further con-
sideration to the garbage question.
plan along the lines heretofore in
dicated WAS adopted whereby II is
thought the situation win be re-
lieved in way satisfactory to all
concerned, and that is to enlarge
he scope of garbage" so as, to pro-
'ide for the removal of. items not i'm
cluded under the present ordinance
ind establishing a feasible schedule
or the entire garbage service.
The vote on this was unanimous, as
had been generally hoped for, and the
Council will hold another meeting
lext Friday night to carry out the
ormalities of the supplemental pro.
cedure.
The plan finally adopted is as fol-
lows:
In addition 10 the hauling OF
materials as provided In the
present ordinance, the garbage
contractor will now cart away
paper on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, and cans, bottles and
trash on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday.
When the Council convened but
little time was lost in getting down
% business, and after the various
,lans and suggestions had been heard,
he Committee on Bylaws and Ordi-
lances, consisting of Mayor Levy,
Counsellor Rullman and Alderman
smith, withdrew TO give them con-
sideration and also TO hold con-
,erence with Thomas McGuckian. who
holds the present garbage contract.
fhe outcome of this conference was
hat ii was agreed that the addi-
ional garbage, above referred to, and
he schedule for the same would be
included under supplemental arr
rangement at a cost to the City OF
$4,3S3.00 above the present contractl
price. This combination amount of
he bid under the present ordinanuce
nd the price agreed on under
he proposed supplemental one is
about the same as the total amount of
the bid made sometime ago, when the
contractors were submitting figures
under the old plan for all OF the glrb-
age. This amount is about SO, 100
The report of the Committee was
unanimously adopted by the Council,
and the supplemental ordinance and
.he contract covering the same will
both be ready for final action at Fri
day nights meeting.
The contractor in the present plan
is to furnish dump outside OF the
city limits, and the arrangement is
TO go into effect on next Monday,
June 81. This will allow sufficient
time for the cleaning up of all gar
rage now accumulated.
Only one objection was offered to
the proposal, and this was made be-
fore the committee had considered the
plan. 1t was the necessity for the
keeping OF a schedule by the house
holder so that one might know on
what days the various classes OF gar
age would be removed. This was
overcome by an order from one OF
the committeeman for the printing
and distribution of cards for this pur-
pose; $500 such cards will be made
and one will be placed in each home
in the city, distribution being made
by the police.
An advantage of having the two
classes of garbage removed on alter
nate days is seen in the lack OF nee
essity for purchasing more than one
can, which can be used for one thing
on one day and another on the next.
One of the provisions made last night
was that no receptacle should have
a capacity of more than IA bushels.
This is in order that the drivers OF
the carts may be able TO handle the
cans, boxes, etc.
1t was stated last night by Mr.. Nc
Guckian that there will be no OBJ
lection to the wrapping OF refuse in
paper, so long as all Of the materials
in a garbage can is not so wrapped
That it will look as IL there Is nothing
but paper in the can, thinking that
it was intended for the paper day
collection Another point on which
he requested that the householders
give him consideration was that OF
tipping the garbage men for remov-
ing materials which could not be
classed as garbage. He said that this
has often happened when citizens had
wanted the drivers to haul away ar
ticles too large to be placed in the
cans.
