William II Murphy. councilman

ton 10 the new council OF nine. In
his years service as councilman has
been one OF the most consistent ad-

Mr. Murphy is really the father OF
the municipal garbage collection

fought in season and out OF season
during the past eight years for a
municipal system. He was bitterly
opposed to turning the collection OF
garbage over to a private monopoly

time TO this missing an opportunity
to work for municipal collection.
Mr.. Murphy fought every pro-
posed private monopoly collection
OF garbage preached. including the
proposed McHugh. Stimson and

Finally. after Mr.. Murphy and
his associates in the fight for mu-
nicipai collection had won. and Sc
cured the submission OF a bond
issue 20 the people and the people
had adopted the issue oyerwhelm-
ingly. the question of paving the
cost OF collection by fee system
or by general taxation arose, and
Murphy. believing this to be a po-
lice measure, necessary for general
public health. and believing that
the fee system would fix on the
small property owner an unjust
tax, voted for paying the cost by
general taxation.
In addition Mr.. Murphy has been

that he has been In the council

Mr.. Murphy was the first in the

Of the residents OF the Rainier Val
ley. He fathered and used all his
influence TO secure the passage of
the ordinance providing for a mu-
nicipal line. a bond issue for which
is now about to be submitted TO the
people.
