DELAY ACTION IN PROPOSED GARBAGE DEAL Pending further Investigation by the ordinance committee and the committee on public buildings and incinerator, and a further delibera tion relative to terms of the pro posed contract, the ordinance bill which would gram to Umbdenstock, Inc., and exclusive franchise tor garbage hauling in Salem for five years and also give the firm the operation of the incinerator, will be held back by the committees. The ordinance bill, which was In troduced two weeks ago, was schedul ed for third reading and final passage Monday night, but it was said Mon day that the measure will not come up. The committees want to make a further study of the question of rates to be charged residents and business houses before reaching an agree ment on the bill. Also they want to ascertain just what the opera tors propose to do about giving em ployment to the men who are now hauling the city's garbage. Umb denstock, In his offer to the city, said he would give the local men first consideration In contracting for hauling of the garbage to the in cinerator. At present the city's budget ex pense for operation of the Incin erator is over $6000.

This is estimated to run about $2300 a year. Another ordinance that will not reach third reading Monday night is one providing for a change in tlie bus routing In the north Salem district.
