Mayor vetoes garbage measure amid anti Japanese concerns
Mayor Hugh M Caldwell vetoed the Tindall ordinance that would have let the city collect and sell downtown garbage. Officials estimate it would add over 59000 in revenue but Caldwell argues it would unfairly seize restaurant byproducts and risk hog ranch monopoly while potentially masking corporation schemes to control the garbage trade. He warns action against Japanese owners could fail if not addressed. Six votes needed to override. Some council members did not vote. Oliver T Erickson reportedly opposes the measure.
