STATE ST. ASKS PUBLIC ATTEND MEET OF ALDERMEN MAYOR FERRY CRATTY TENDS INVITATION TO ALL. 'INTERESTED IN PROPOSED PLAN FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION TO ATTEND NEXT MEETING OF COUNCIL ON MONDAY NIGHT. Some controversy having arisen over the subject, Mayor Perry A. Cratty asked The Daily Republican to state today that he is anxious for all those interested, whether for or against the proposed new plan of garbage collection, to be present at the next council meeting when the matter will be up for final action.

"I am anxious to have the public turn out and hear just what the ordinance covering garbage collection will mean to Belvidere. There is nothing to conceal, there are no 'jokers' and all that we are trying to do is to give the city a workable plan for garbage such as other cities all over the country are enjoying and have been for years. "Not only will the adoption of the ordinance covering garbage collection result in a saving to every family. in Belvidere but it will help the city to get rid of the unsightly and odorous dumping grounds that now lie within the city and have the garbage hauled to new ground located at a distance. "This is not a matter that has been taken up hurriedly and being pushed through but has received the attention of the council for months.

The ordinance was drawn by Corporation Counsel Albert O'Sullivan after much study of garbage collection ordinances in force in other cities and where the plan is meeting with unqualified approval. "I invite the public to attend the next meeting of the council and learn first hand the provisions of the ordinance rather than to rely on hearsay talk, much of which is distorted according to many stories reaching me." The next regular meeting of the council is on the night of Monday, Mar. 7. STERLING BRIDGE FALLS IN RIVER Sterling, Mar. 1 A 100- foot slipped off a flood weakened concrete pier and crashed into the swollen Rock river today.

The crash came just as Joseph Britt drove his automobile across the bridge. "I heard a funny noise behind me, looked around and saw the girders splashing down into the water," Britt said. The remainder of the 1200-foot bridge remained on the piers but Township Road Commissioner Thomas McGue said the entire structure probably would have to be replaced. He attributed the collapse LO damage caused by an ice gorge and high water two weeks ago. The bridge was built in 1907 to replace another structure which was washed out in a flood on Feb.

26, 1906. It is just west of the business district, connecting the town with an amusement park.

The crash occurred when the Negro stopped without warning in front of McQuiston's machine which struck the other car in the rear.
