Council to Act on
Garbage Contract
Friday Morning
Mayor Dahlman Expresses Be
lief City h Not Yet Ready
To Co to Expense of
Incinerator System.
A five-year garbage contract
which the city council informally has
warded to I!. V. Hayward and
Fred K. Schroeder i Mated (or defi
nite action at a special meeting of
the council Friday morning.
The next step in the proceedings
will be formal approval of contract
and bond, followed by the signature
of the city's representatives and the
bidden.
"I am satisfied that the proposi
tion of Mr. Hayward and Mr.
Schroeder is the best the city can
do," said Mayor Dahlman. "Several
men have gone broke or nearly so
during the last IS years with city
garbage contracts. I do not believe
that the city is ready to go to the
expense of. an incinerator system of
garbage disposal. We sent a com
mittee to Des Moines to investigate
the incinerator plant there and the
information we received was htat it
would cost Omaha nearly twice as
much as the amount of the proposed
Hayward-Schrocder contract We
expect to impose all reasonable re
Cu:rements in the contract which
will be brought to the council for
approval. We have given the gar
bage question considerable thought
and are confident that this contract
will be the be.st solution for the next
five years."
The Hayward-Schroeder bid calls
for the ' payment by the city of
$79,000 for the first year, with an
increase of $2,500 a year, bringing
the amount tn S89.00O for the fifth
year and making an average ofj
JS4.000 per year for the five-year;
period of the contract. '
Mr. chroeder has been collecting
and disposing of garbage during the
last six months under a temporary
contract which provided for $7,200 a
month for July, August and Septem
ber and $6,000 a month for the last
three months of the year.
