HOLLY IS GIVEN
GARBAGE PACT
FOR TWO YEARS
Council Takes Firm Action
To End Unsatisfactory
Service

Garbage hauling and street re-
pairs were major topics of dis
cussion once again when city
councilmen met in City Hall on
Tuesday evening.
John Holly, who had held the
garbage hauling contract for sew
eral years, was given two-year
contract on his bid of $2,700 year
ly.
Holly's salary will be retroac-
tive to June l. He had entered
the lowest of three bids two
months ago, but council gave the
contract to w. w. Baird of Genoa.
Baird had earlier been promised
special consideration as he helped
out during the emergency when
Jesse Coins, Clay Center, failed
to fulfill his contract.
Mr.. Holly, in turn, helped out
during the emergency last week
when Mr.. Baird evidently gave up
trying to meet the situation here.
Early Friday, Mr.. Holly had
met with Mayor Carl Becker,
Vice Mayor Harold Nielsen and
Councilman William Goebel when
he agreed to begin garbage col
lections at once, if his contract
was made retroactive to June l.
Holly's first call was at Magru-
der Hospital and since then he
has been collecting throughout the
city.
Housewives Notice
All housewives are being mott
fled that Holly will refuse to col
lect garbage if tin cans, bottles,
or glass is found in the garbage
containers. The garbage is fed
to hogs and such foreign matter
would kill the animals.
After awarding the contract to
Holly, councilmen suggested that
he get a drip-proof body for his
truck, SO that leakage from the
garbage would not be scattered
over the city.
Officials will meet with Mr..
Holly in an attempt to remedy
this situation. There is a pos
sibility that the city may help
pay for the changes necessary.
Baird was paid through June
Is and from all indications he did
not make any collections there
after.
Will Buy Grader
In another effort to speed up
needed street repairs, council ap-
proved a motion to advertise for
bids to purchase an Allis-Chalm-
ers grader. Mayor Becker had
described such a grader, formerly
used at Camp Perry, which the
Wilcox Engineer Company, San
dusky, is willing to sell for $780,
Mention was made of tree

customers the city trucks will

and Street Commissioner Car
Ruddock warned that the city
trucks cannot do this extra work
and that the visitor has no author
ization to make such a statement
No action was taken on an Of
fer for DDT spraying of Lakeview
Park and the Waterworks bal
diamond.
Councilman Goebel suggested
that the city ask the State High
way Department to help repair
Perry Street and to apply yellow
center lines as soon as possible.
Last year the city purchased
asphalt and stone, and the state
workers applied the material
Mayor Becker and Councilman
Goebel will make a trip to Toledo
to confer with the state officials
Plans were also made to Dor
