City Seeks 80 Year Garbage Franchise Control
An ordinance to grant an exclusive 80 year garbage collection and destruction franchise was introduced by the city council last night. Backers include F S Stimson A B Stewart and C B K Paineworth with Councilman Hurd steering the measure to the corporations committee. The proposal would place operation under health and public utilities departments with inspectors under the board of health, and the company would hire inspectors and cover their wages. The applicants promise a more favorable rate schedule and will buy the current city plant at appraised value and begin duties within 60 days of passage.
