ELKS FETE 34TH
YEAR IN ASHLAND
ASHLAND city councilmen, in
special session Thursday night,
opened 10 bids seeking franchise
to operate the municipality’s sani
tary collection system on a three-
year contract. An 11th bid was
thrown out because of failure to
comply with specifications.
The council, after opening bids,
entered into a lengthy discussion
of offers and referred the six high
bids to the sanitary committee for
investigation as to qualifications,
financial responsibility and suit
ableness of proposed dump ground
locations. The committee, together
with city and state health officers,
will give close attention to sani
tary aspects of the garbage dis
posal and remoteness of dump
grounds from residences.
The city's revision of its sani
tary laws which resulted in the
termination of Ray Spencer’s ap
pointment as sanitary inspector
March 1, attracted much interest
among would-be franchise holders,
and last night's meeting was at
tended by several of the bidders.
The garbage disposal monopoly—
sometimes referred to as the "sal
ad-wagon route"—is being handled
temporarily by C. V. Flanders by
private arrangement with Spencer.
Bidders included W. Ross and
son, $180 per year; C. V. Flanders,
$150 per year; George Yockel, $1;
Dewey Van Curler, $120 per year;
Roy Frazier, nothing first three
years; Roy Parr, nothing; C. I.
Peart and L. D. Berand of Med
ford, $100 per year; Clyde E. Bee
son, $51 for three years; T. L.
Powell, $200 for three years, and
W. O. Martin, $90 for three years.
Those bidders being considered
by the sanitary committee are
Ross and sons, Flanders, Van Cur
ler, Frazier, Beeson and Martin.
Everything else being equal as
concerns equipment and responsi
bility, Ross and sons as highest
bidders will be favored, according
to Mayor T. S. Wiley. Council
committeemen are Dr. W. J. Cran
dall and Fred Tayler, while Dr.
C. A. Haines and Dr. E. A. Woods
will be consulted as city board of
health members.
According to Mayor Wiley,
award of garbage franchise will
save the city approximately $500
per year, as well as bring in some
revenue. The city now pays about
$200 annually for clean-up day
work and another $300 for dead
animal disposal, expense of which
will be eliminated by the new set
up. Residents also will be given
one free dumping day a week
under the new franchise, at which
time they may haul their own
garbage if they wish.
