Norwich bulletin., 1919-02-04

A proposal for the collection and disposal OF garbage (not including ashes) from R. 0. Faust of Philadel- phia was presented to the court of common council at the February meeting of the council held in the counci, chamber on Monday evening. The proposal was presented through Alderman Milo R. Waters and was endorsed by Health Officer E. J. Bro- phy.
 Mir. Fausts proposition Is that he will see that all garbage is collected in the city three times a week and disposed of by a sanitary method in- stead of collecting 1t with the ashes as Is now the custom and being dump ed with these on the city dump. He also agrees to furnish sanitary recep- tacles for the garbage to private fam flies and to restaurants and other places for one year. The receptacleS have a capacity of two, three and five gallons. MT Faust also agrees to fur nish a bond as a guarantee to per | form the work as outlined in his pro- posal.
 In the letter endorsing the proposal which was read by City Clerk Des- mond, Health Officer Brophy said it
 was a decided Improvement over the present method of collecting garbage which is very unsanitary. The pres ent way, said Health Officer Brophy
 is a menace to the public health and he has received many complaints about the foul edors and the gather | ing of flies about the garbage, espec- ially in hot weather.
 1 John A. Moran, speaking in favor ot the plan stated that perhaps the coun-
 eli did not know but that the new plan would mean an establishment ir Norwich employing about 200 persons | Mayor J. J. Desmond stated thai there was nothing in the city ordi-
 nance to provide for such a measure In answer to this MT. Foust wht vas present at the meeting said tha if the people had the sanitary con.
 tainers for the garbage that theI would be glad to put their garbage il
 these rather than in the ash barrels

 cities it was compulsory measur,
