Blue-box tender endorsed By Trudie Zavadovica The low tender of $282,948 from MMujscilloTransportation Ltd. for the co-coperative collec- tion of disposables and recyci- ables from blue boxes was the subject of much discussion at Monday night's Town operations meeting. The Klinberg oena.pany's b id apparentl reduces t he current cost ofcoleting ach blue box to 29 cent from 39ecents, a redue- tien of over 33 per cent. Councillor Tom Edwards vehe- mently opposed the recommenda- tion for tender appreval. He sa.id that the 18 Town trucks te b. used by the company te collect thejgarbage have not been indlu- ded in the price.*. Edwards says that the trucks cost $600 000 of taxpayers' money and that the Town is giving a selected compan the right te use those trucksfree of charge. The opany would only be responsible or maintenance Of the trucks. Dick Kuwahara, director of public works, teld committee the 'trucks were available te the com- pany on those terme because it was a short-term contract of 13 months. For the company te run the exponse of purchasing vehi-, cles would be unrealistic, he said, and drive the costs up- substantially. Councillor Jo. Bugelli said that with approvai of this tender the Town would Bave *177,000, and if pick-up was limited te every1 two weeks, the savings te the Town would be double. The recommedation was passed by a vote of 2-1. I don't feel confident in the ability of this comipany te come in at this price and do the saine job we have been used te in the p at," Edwards teld the Whitby Fr;.. Press later. "I hope the municipalities come back to their .senses and put the responsibility back where it' should be, that they retain control.» GIRLS' & BOYS' FASHIONS INFANTS Up TO SIZE 18 Bning in this ad to receive 15% off regular priCe merChandise.
