Ald. John Bauman explained that three tenders had been received for new garbage contracts, and the comâ€" mittee had decided to hold up awarding of the contracts until the new Minimum Wage Act comes into effect, since the wage scales would affect the tenders. The committee recommended that Mr. Schlueter be asked to continue at perhaps a monthly salary of $225 for three or four months until the Act is effecâ€" tive. + Council Will Ask Present Colâ€"‘ lector to Continue after | Garbage Collection Tenders Depend On New Minimum Wage Legislation Mr. Schleuter, whose contract calls for $2,400 yearly, asked for an increase in accordance with the higher cost of living than three years ago, and because of the inâ€" crease in price of feed for horses, oats, for example, now being exactâ€" ly double in price over the figure of last fall. Reeve Heer: "We can‘t let the contracts until the Minimum Wage Act is made public. A man can‘t tender now and then find he has to raise his men‘s wages." Ald. Brill: "Let the contracts now. Make these men pay their help a decent living wage regardâ€" less of whether the Minimum Wage Act comes into force. An act genâ€" erally becomes effective 60 days after it is passed." _ _ _ _ _ _ It was explained by Ald. Frickey that farm labor would not be govâ€" erned by the new act. In this case a farmer could tender for less than could a man who lived in the town. The garbage committee will take the matter of payments up with the collector for three or four months until the Act becomes effective, when new tenders for garbage colâ€" lection will again be called. Will Close Up North Ward Alley Entrance to Hamel Broom Facâ€" tory on Noecker Street May Be Sold. The closing up and sale of the town property forming an alley from Necker street north into the Hamel Broom Company plant, from the mouth of Queen street, was faâ€" vorably considered by council in finâ€" ance session on Friday night.

Hamel, owner of the broom firm, asked the council to close up the alley which runs to a dead end at his plant. He stated that children have been overrunning the property and clinvbing fences to reach the north ward rink, besides creating a disturbance at night. Mr. Hamel also stated that tourists in summer, seeking the Queen street north extension, were in the habit of driving in the alley and coming to his office to ask the direction to the extended street, formerly called ‘Musselmans street, which runs north from Frederick street. â€" â€" _ The alley, a 13â€"foot strip, is borâ€" dered on both sides by 9 feet strips owned by Mr. Hamel. _ _ _ _ _ _ Members of the council felt that the land might be sold to Mr. Haâ€" mel for a nominal fee.
