Discuss Trash Disposal.

The problem Of collecting and disposing
Of garbage. trash and ashes was one of the
chief topics of discussion at a meeting
Of the Montgomery County Federation of
Citizens Associations held here on last
Monday night.
Several members expressed regret over
the action of the federation at its last
meeting, when a resolution was adopted
proposing that, as part of the reorganiza-
ton of the county government. the collec-
tion of garbage and trash be transferred
TO the county commissioners. Hope was
expressed that the State legislature would
not authorize such transfer.
Emory Bogley. member of the sanitary
commission, told the federation that the
cost Of twenty trucks and two incinerators
for collecting and disposing of earbage and
trash in the southern end of the county
would be approximately $ll5,00O This,
he said, would be about SIP year for
each home in the county.
After a lengthy discussion. the matter
was left for further action at subsequent
meeting. Among other matters discussed
was the question Of establishing a circu.
lating library to be supported by county
funds. This matter was referred to the
committee on internal county develop
ment. Major Lawrence presided over the
meeting.

MISS BROWN WRITES HOME
Winona, Kansas


Monday morning, May 9, 1927
First National Bank,
Milford, Delaware.
Dear Friends-Perhaps you have
read about this terrible storm that
is raging out here in the West where
the earth and sky seem to meet.
Where you can drive for miles and
as far as the eye can carry you, you
cannot see house, tree or anything
but grass.
We left Russell, Kansas, yester-
day morning Sunday about 10 o.
clock. At o'clock we drove into the
worst storm imaginable, sometimes
we could not see in front of the car.
We would stop, blow the horn, then
venture a little further. We were
afraid we could not make the next
town by dark, as the towns are about
40 miles apart. So decided to stop at
this place (Winona). 1t looks as if
we will have to stay for awhile.
Really no one can imagine what it is
like until you actually see it.
l cannot see across the street for
dirt. am writing this letter with
heavy dress, sweater and coat on and
am not warm now sitting right by
the stove.
1 Just wish you could see this
place. There is one-half an inch of
dirt on everything. In our bed room
there is log chain at the window
with stout rope fastened to it. 1
presume it is the fire escape. Some
one Just now said there was man
down the street who started to take
a bath and before ne was finished he
had to pull himself out of the muG.
We are beginning to look like ne
groes, but guess we should be CRATE
full to have roof to stop under. We
Just escaped the cloud-burst and
flood in Kansas City. We came thru
there o'clock Friday afternoon and
that happened Saturday morning at
8 o'clock.
1t is 8 o'clock here, but at home it
is IL o'clock. 1t gets so dark have
to stop writing.
A couple men came in just now
from Denver. They said they were in
a terrible snow storm.
The people here have never wit
messed so bad storm as this before.
We have had wonderful trip. The
first few days we travelled over steep
mountains and thru beautiful val
leys. Then we came thru the level
and prosperous farming section of
Ohio, and more rolling country of
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. We
have stopped at the best hotels and
have had a good time in general, un-
til we left Lawrence, Kansas. Then
we hit the Kansas mud. have never
seen such roads before. We were
first on one side the road and then
the other. We managed to keep out
of the ditch until we reached the
next town. Uncle OIL bought chains,
then we felt more safe. Fortunately
the road dried off quickly and after
we had driven so miles we were on
better roads.
We are waiting COR the storm to
get better so we can journey on. We
are unable to get anything to eat
here. 1t. certainly looks like poverty
out here. You see great big farms
and the houses are about the size of
DR.. Jim Lofand's Office, and small
barns with thousands of dollars
worth of farm machinery sitting
right out in the weather.
I wish you could have these differ
ent experiences with us, if we only
escape. The storm is no better, so
will close.
With my best wishes.
