years. Disposal contracts for the so-called contract area,for the first time, split the work between two con-tractors, the DeMatteo Construction Company tocontinue the scow-towing and Spectacle Island dumpoperation, and the Coleman Disposal Company tooperate the Calf Pasture dump for a one-year periodfrom April 1, 1957 to March 31, 1958. The total cost of refuse collection and disposal for1957 was approximately $2,600,000, which is morethan $200,000 under the cost of the same service in1949. This holding the line in costs is remarkable in viewof the increase in the wage rate for collectors from $1.30an hour in 1949 to $2.15 an hour in 1957, and the factthat fully enclosed packer-type truck bodies are nowused in place of the open body trucks furnished pre-viously. The resultant savings to the City were madepossible by acquiring control of the refuse dumpingsites and the institution of authentic competitive biddingon the refuse collection and disposal contracts over thepast seven years.
