CAUTIONS PORTLAND TO LOOK

"Portland, Or., Sept 10 To the Live
Members of the Portland Push Clubs
and Others Having read In the Port
land newspapers of a proposition before
the city council, where a franchise is
being sought by private Individuals for
the collecting of and disposal of garb
age, I thought it a matter of Impor
tance to suggest to the people of this
city that they Insist that no action be
taken on this matter until the people
of this city have a chance to voice their

tions to prevail In the city of Portland.
"In Seattle you pay the garbage com
pany an exorbitant price to remove your
garbage, and whether he calls once a
week or once a month, and you are dis
satisfied, you cannot get another wagon
to dispose of your refuse. I notice also
that jhe company desiring a franchise
In Portland will remove the refuse from
the city fire departments free of charge.
I should think they would: they cnuld

cities are glad? to pay a stated amount
per month for the privilege of hauling

pany is not offering anything to the
city or Its- people.
