Harry Gwynn Will Continue
Handling Scayenger Contract
CITY COUNCIL REJECTS
REPORT OF AP-
PRAISERS FOR PUR-
CHASE OF EQUIPMENT

-es4& n ~
Az, special meeting of the
City Council held last night, fol-
lowing a thorough discussion of
the scavenger service, it was fl
iialIy decided to allow Harry
Gwynn 10 continue on with his
present contract which will expire
some time in June. Mr.. Gwynn
will be allowed the use Of one adj
ditional truck, making six in all,
III maintaining tho service, three
trucks having been ordered taken
off BY the council at a meeting
held recently When curtailment
was made in the operating ex-
penses Of the city.
The council met last night for
the purpose of considering the
report submitted by the board of
appraisers in connection with the
city taking over the contract from
Mr.. Gwynn, the amount fixed in
the report for the purchase of the
equipment from Mr.. Gwynn being
$4,000. The board of appraisers
was composed Of Mayor Leslie Al.
Curry, representing the city ];
Captain John j. Maher, appointed
BY Mr.. Gwynn, and Paul Boysen,
the third member, appointed by
the rthsr two representatives.
The council rejected the figures
submitted, claiming that the
amount for taking over the equip
mcnt was rather exorbitant, and
after some discussion Mr.. Gwynn
volunteered to make reduction
Of $1,000, putting the purchase
price at $4,000. Even this
amount was considered rather
high, the council refusing to ac-
cept the proposition offered
through the report submitted by
the appraisers.
AT the termination Of the dis
cussion as to whether It would be
wise for the city to take over the
contract at this time, a resolution
was adopted permitting Mr..
Gwynn to continue on with the
present contract untEl its expira-
ticn few months hence, with the
understanding that he be allowed
one additional truck. 1t was
specified that each truck be OPP
Grated with three men in COM
pliance with the contract now in
force, with i daily service TO be
maintained on all paved streets of
the city, with an every-other-day
service on unpaved streets. Ii was
ordered that the contractor furnish
the service specified, and in the
event Of failure TO perform the
work satisfactorily, il was the
sense Of the council that no war
rants be drawn in his favor for
the operation Of the scavenger de-
passment.

council limit of two barrels Of
