at mondays meeting georgetown council got into an odd situation where a majority of members voted against something of which they really approved with cr mcgilvray remind ing council of a further technicali ty that one motion could be voted upon only once at a meeting thf matter of combining collection and disposal of garbage was shelved for the evening the argument started after a sykeshcgilvray motion to accept the tender of bob lane the pres ent garbage collector for the ad vertised job of contracting for the complete disposal operation at present the garbage is collect ed and dumped by the contractor after which the town takes over with the sanitary landfill method operating its own bulldozer mr lanes tender of 300 year ly per capita was the lowest of three received martin sodding tendered at 350 and david barclay at 500 mr barclay also submitted a 275 tender in which disposal would be made out of town limits the sykes motion met opposi- spiked cr hyde lion from cr hyde who said the lane tender did not outline specifications as the others bad done mayor armstrong agreed with him saying he was quite sure what mr lane meant in his tender but- would prefer to have details in writing before voting on the tender cr sykes maintained that the newspaper advertisement had in dicated what the town expects of the contractor and that if his motion carried it would be a job for the town solicitor to draw up contract details council is an advisory body he said and it isnt our job to go into all the details when we make a motion thats why we have an engineer and a solicitor cr mcgilvray said he does not think motions should be made and then held over to another meeting and that when a motion is made it should be either carried or de feated the motion calls for a con tract to be drawn up and we have the power to draw it up as we bee fit said cr harrison i donl see how we can lose or gain any time by not voting tonight mayor armstrong said be was not asking that the motion be withheld he simply wished to be clear on procedure he would certainly sign no agreement with anyone he said until council had approved the wording of the agreement and such an agree ment should be by bylaw cr hyde claimed the sykes motion if carried would throw out the other tenders tosother words mr lanes got it buowhat hashe got he said insisting that contract deails be drawn up cr gujm opined that in fair ness to other tenderers the agree ment should be more explicit were paying solicitors for drawing agreements theres noth ing complicated in this motion at all said cr sykes i bate to vote against jt but i cant vote for the motion in its present form said cr hyde as the vote was put and lost 53 crs sykes mcgilvray and harri son were the assenting voters it would be very handy if you chose another chairman to look after garbage commented cr sykes obviously im not want ed it was only a technicality that could have been ironed out re- a very small technicality said cr sykes later in the meeting an el- liottgunn motion attempted to reword the contract acceptance but was ruled out when cr mc gilvray mentioned bis point of procedure the matter was shel ved for a
