Building Passes $93,000 Mark a Garbage War On Again In Lima The Lima iCty Council’s “garbage headache” has come back, and prom ises to be more severe than at any time since it first appeared two years ago. Councilmen are studying two bids for contracts for municipal collection and disposal of garbage amid charges that Allen County Health Commissioner Dr. G. E. Miller is trying to “railroad” them into a se lection. The Cincinnati Terminal Service Co. submitted the low bid of 65 cents a month for residential collec tions, and agrees to meet require ments of Allen County Board of Health “if it can learn what those requirements are.” The only other bid was submitted by Ralph Secoy of Lima, at 70 cents a month. In a later letter, however, he stated that he could cut his price to 65 cents. He also exhibited a let ter from Dr. Miller stating that his plan for disposal of garbage meets with the health official’s approval. “I don’t like this way of doing business,” said Council President William Ferguson. “It looks like railroading to me.” Cow Sets High Milk Record Enough milk to provide amply for a new-born baby until he is old enough to vote, in but one year owned by S.
