J ins.
"Garden Grove, Cal.
Apr. 26, 29.
To the Honorable City Council,
E1 Segundo, Cil.
As per your advertisement, I wish to submit my bid for garbage
from the City of E1 Segundo.
Item 3: I offer the price of 30¢ per cubic yard for a three
year contract.
It is a little confusing for me to estimate garbage by the yard,
as I have always bought it by weight, and different cities will
vary considerable in weight per cubic yard, as smaller cities
usually have less restaurant garbage and more vegetable trimmings,
which is bulky and not so much weight.
I have had several years successful experience with garbage
contracts and would endeavor to give satisfaction.
Yours very truly,
H. H. Lewis,
R. F. D. #1, Box 42B9
Garden Grove, Cal.
In case your Honorable Body would prefer to have the garbage go
by weight, I will pay seventh cents per ton and pay for the weighing
the first week out of each month.
H. H. Lewis ".

"To City Council of the City of E1 Segundo
