city Sanitation company which holds
n contract with tho city to carry on
this kind of work, appeared before

hibits the city from allowing any 9TH

The city maintains thai It has the
right to let other contracts but the
City Sanitation company holds TINT
the contract 1t has with the city gives
It an exclusive right to haul garbage

ton presented It developed that an
