TO THE
Statements going around the city that householders j
who either do not have garbage or dispose of it by burn
ing or other sanitary methods, are compelled by city ordi- ',,
nance to have their garbage collected by the new gar
bage company and pay them $1.00 a month and provide '.'
a can for garbage; that the home owners themselves can- j,
not take their own garbage to the city dump; that either
the city has inefreasod or authorized the new garbage u
company to increase the charges for collecting garbage,
are so palpably untrue that we shall take no notice of
them, except to state that there has been no change in j
the charges for collecting garbage and that, with the ex
eeption of a few added provisions for protection of the ji
city, the present garbage contract is almost identical with j
those that have been in force for the last six or eight
years.
' Statements occasionally heard to the effect that the
city has given an exclusive contract or monopoly to the
new garbage company, 'but did not to the former garbago .
people, are also untrue; all of the garbage contracts mnde
by the city the last six or eight years have been exclusive
contracts and have, all of them, included within their
terms -garbage and offal from hotels and restaurants, and
there has been no change in regard to hotels and rcstau-'
mum. g
Anyone having complaint either regarding service or, t
charges lor collecting garhage is requested to fako the '
matter up with Mr. li. V. Phillips, manager of the new
garbage company, at his office at Jarmin & Woods' drug '
