If any of ths garbage bids now bfor ths etty council should be accepted, ths people of Portland will be saddlsd with ths greatest graft attempted for years. Effort are being made to grab an ex clusive franchise worth probably 1. . 000, la exchange for a oonatderatioa so trivial as to be ridiculous, and If theee efforts are successful ovary household er in the otty wltl be oom pelted, under penalty of fine, to contribute te, the profits of ths propoeod monopoly. Several months ago the city author! tlee decided to receive bids for the re raoval and Incineration of all garbaga within ths elty limits. Up to the pres ent time tbe work of collecting the gar bage has been done by private contract ors, who have made their own terma with householders. "vThe garbage haa been- burned at the elty crematory at pubnr rpnss, And the eoet of main- tainlng and operating the crematory amounted last year to 17,171.10. it waa suggested that if s contract for the re moval and destruction of ths- garbage wer Wt to private parties. aU of this expenee might be saved, ths cost ta householders might be reduced and soma reveau might be derived by tea crty. Bids were accordingly Invited and three have boon, received. , Tbe three bidder are Howard Watt ing, the City Garbage company had th Multnomah Sanitation company. The personnel of tbe two companies bidding seem .ta ha. shrouded in mytery, at, least so far as members of the elty coon ell are ' eonosrned, - for they profess to be entirely ignorant upon the subject. - Charles P. Lord Is acting as attorney far the City Garbage company, and M. Reln stein end Dan Kalleher are rumored to be backing the Multnomah Sanitation company, but beyond this little la known, , - But the identity of the hidden bidder Is of little importance as compared with tne terras which they offer to th elty: for, wore they men of straw, utterly without financial reeponslbUtty. they would not have the slightest difficulty in n its ting all ths capital they required If. once their proposals were accepted by the oounou. The possession sf cbe franchise would be 'enough to oauaand all the credit they might neeoV - Tbe most modest of the three bidders asks for an exeluslvs franchise for only years. His competitors wish to en joy tha monopoly for a quarter of a century. It Is proposed that tha elty shall compel by ordinance every hotel, restaurant, oyster -house, butcher ebon. every fleh, meat, vegetable, poultry or fruit market, every boardluaT house snd every dwelling of five rooms or ever (which means practically air the dwell ing bouses of Portland) to nay a con tribution to the profits of the monopoly, at rates fixed by the franchise. These rates era materially la execs of those now paid to private contractors and should yield a revenue which might easily reach 100,00 a year. .. Persona who ignore the ordinance and attempt to employ private scavengers will be sub ject to a fine of front lit to S100 for each offense. .. ... , .. , When it Is remembered that tha garbage Itself is of great value when In telligently handled, and that In othf cities Its products sre sold for largo sums of money, some Idea of the extent of the propoeed grab can be Imagined, Tin cans, waate paper, bones and many other things gathered up by the scav enger wagons have a considerable com mercial value and in many eastern cities the manufacture of fertiliser from garbage has reached large proportion. Indeed It la 'Stated that In some cities ' the sale of garbage Is a large souros of profit to the municipality, the con tractors collecting and removing It at their own expenee. Otay to wet "Psry lUttla. Ths only return whloh It is proposed ta give to the city is sn annual payment of I1.W0, which Is to be applied as th salary of a health inspector, who shall be under the Joint Jurisdiction of the board of health and the grantee of the franchise In other words, the money received by the etty Is te be used In pay ing an employe of th monopoly, for auoa the propoeed inspector would of course be. It te true that ths grantee of to franchise is to assume the cost of main taining snd operating the elty crematory and tsJo make aueh additions to It aa may be neceesary, but st the ex pi ratio a of the fcblae the city la te pay te th grar the value of all ImDrove ments arm additions made during tue of the franchise, ee appraised birifc. 4 of three arbitrator, one cnoen bv pity, one by the gsrbeg tcm&ai fc i th third elected by theee two.
