Butte Faces Garbage Contract Saving City Money
Iowa man J H Kelley proposes to run Butte garbage disposal for 75000 yearly, turning waste into hog feed. If accepted, city savings reach about 60000 annually, beating current costs of 130000 to 175000. Bond offered, equipment transfer to be valued by a city commission, and license revenue losses due to saloon closures would be offset by the contract.
