CITY MUST
BE ITS OWN
SCAVENGER

A municipal system or garbage
collection will be inaugurated in
Tacoma next week to meet the
emergency created by the with
drawal of scavenger companies
from the field May /.
1t was reported at the city hall
Monday that arrangements were
already on foot to organize a mu-
nicipal collection system, with the
idea of making it permanent If
successful.
The Washington Scavenger Co.
and the Tacoma Garbage Co., two
of the largest collection companies
in Tacoma, have notified the city
health department that they will
go out of business unless certain
health provisions are not with
drawn.
Protest Regulations. i.
They protest over the city's re-
fusal to permit them to deposit
garbage in gulchs and vacant
places in the residence district,
and complain over an order that
garbage wagons must all be COW
cred.
City Health Officer DR.. Layton
believes that the garbage COM
panies are trying to bluff" the
city, he says. But the companies
have given such unsatisfactory
service during the past six
months, and have caused so much
trouble for the health department,
that DIR. Layton is resolved to "call
the bluff"
No definite system for taking
over the garbage collection has yet
been developed. But the city will
probably lease a number of large
dump wagons this week, and OPP
crate them until such time as a
city-owned system can be inaug-
urated.

Monday that the public works de-
partment could easily handle the
municipal garbage problem if the
council wished 1t to. Atkins had
contemplated q municipal system
some weeks ago. but held up the
plan during the stress Of the city
campaign.
I'VE can not only handle the
garbage problem, but we can helr

can be reclaimed" said Atkins
