Fort Wayne Gets Postal Favors and New Clerk
The Post Office Department raised the Fort Wayne assistant postmaster salary from 1700 to 1800 dollars and approved a 600 dollar clerk to remove city garbage promptly. The city must ensure sufficient teams, collect garbage at least twice weekly in warm months and weekly otherwise, with strict standards for receptacles, wagons, and sanitation. The deal ties to a 1905 Bush contract for a sanitary digestor plant, with Fort Wayne paying Bush company annual sums up to 11,400 dollars across four five year periods.
