RESTRUGTOR GO.
HOPELESSLY TIED
Bond Tangle Threatens to
Break Contract—City May
Ask New Bids.
City officials declared today that the
Destructor Company, of Nov, York,
could not carry out Its contract to build
a combination garbage dl-posal and
electric power plant w ith on.y the city's
moral obligation as security for the de
ferred payments.
Unless the city council win so c hange
the contract that New York bankers
will underwrite the proposition, it is
•expected that the garbage disposal
problem will bo as unsolved as It ever
was, and that new blds will be asked.
In order to get New Yorkers to
finance the building of the plant W. E
Dowd, representative of the Destructor
Company, sard his rnmpany must re
tain the title to the property and con
trol of the plant until the last payment
was made by the city that the annual
payments must be made by February 1
of each year, and that the time limit in
which to build the plant should be in
creased from one to two years. This is
a. substitute for the city's moral obli
gation.
Time Limit Extended.
The lime limit for the company to
begin work on the plant expired yes
terday. Council extended the time for
two w eeks and referred the request for
changes in the contract to the finance
committee.
Dr. VV. L. Gilbert. president of the
board of health, said that he saw no
objection to the changes in -the eon
tract asked by the company and that if
council allowed them, work would be
begun at once.
But the council holds a $37,000 certi
field check of the Destructor Company
guaranteeing that the original contract
will be complied with. Some members
of the council are inclined to refuse any
concessions. Aiderman A. J. Johnson
and Councilman Orville Hall were op
posed to the contract at the first.
Can’t Get Contract Underwritten.
While it is illegal for the city to
give anything more than a moral pledge
to abide by a. contract for more than
one year, tin’s promise has been nego
tiated by local financiers several titties
in the past. This contract is for a
larger amount than any previous one
and provides for a municipal light and
power plant ip conjunction with the
garbage disposal plant, which would
cause the city to compete with the
Georgia Railway Power Company.
The New York company has abso
lutely failed to get local bankers to un
derwrite its contract, its representa
tive says the company can get its deal
financed in New York if the city will
bind Itself by something stronger than
a moral promise to pay the $326,000
within the next four roars.
