The ordinance was filed with the city auditor some time ago and provides that the task of gathering all the garbage of the city shall be given Into the hands of a com pany or corporation composed -of Port land men The association is to charge a cer tain sum for gathering the garbage but the ordinance Is so drawn that it would give the association a complete monop oly of the garbage collection business end would mean large annual sums to the association. The ordinance providing for this very remarkable piece of municipal legisla tion was introduced at the instance of Ferdinand E. Reed, whose fertile brain originated the scheme as it was to be applied to Portland, though the graft has been known to work with great success in other cities. It is not probable that the ordlnanoe will ever he brought out of the commit tee as word has been sent to members of the council from various sources acquainting them with the real mean ing of the document.
