FREE BIDS OR CITY ADMINISTRATION Councilman Nicholson Outlines Hix Favorite Method of Meeting This Perplexing Proposition for the City. With the end of the year the notorlous McDonald garbage contract, which for ten yoars has constituted a monopoly of gar- bage collection and disposal, will terminate. Counclimen and other city officials are toy- ing to devise a new scheme for keeping the city clean and healthful In a more sai- isfactory way. Some months ago the council requested City Engineer Rosewater to make a re- port on the garbage situation and to csti- mate the cost of an incinerator, of crema- tory, wherein the refuse might be de- stroyed. Since then the engineer has col- lected @ lot of data from the experience of other cities, but he has not found time to compile the information. His conclu- slons, however, are in favor of a strictly municipal administration of the problem in order that all householders, regardiess of means, may be treated altke. While there are no funds avallable to oOperate h system of collection wagons, it is sald to be possible to set aside funds at the beginning of the year for the con- struction of a crematory. Fix it by Ordinance. “Under conditions that exist,” says Coun- ciiman Nicholson, “I would be in favor of passing an ordinance fixing a dumping ground, requiring water-tight wagons and permitting anyone to engage in the gar- bage-hauling business who would pay a small license fee and furnish the proper bond. I would make failure to use the city dumping ground punishable not only by fines, but by taking away the-license, and would let competition regulate the prices. “It Is clear to me that the day of the garbage monopoly is over. We must elther have the work done by the city govern- ment or permit independent firms and in- dividuals to do it under the proper regula- tions."

He took it and we went together to the Unlon station, where I was to take a train back to Deadwood. At the depot we met & man dressed like an officer and wearing a star. He seemed to be particu'arly in- terested in us and stepped up to gy friend and sald, ‘Well, at your old g I sup- pose’ My friend appeared to be very much frightened and shivered like a leaf. “No, sir, no, sir,’ he sad, ‘I am not,’ all the time looking like he wanted to run. ‘Come, hand over what you got,' said the officer, and my friend handed over my roll of money. The fellow dressed like an officer played his part well and appeared to be happy In the detection of what he sald w from my roll. I was more surprised than he. ‘We're in for it nowf said my com- panion, and he suggested that we run. We ran up onto the street and that's the last 1 have seen of my friend or the officer.
