 ceptanCe Ordinance

The special aldermanic committee which has been considering 8 pro- posed city ordnance that would set up municipal system of rubbish and ash removal will report to the full board tonight that further study is needed before any recommends tion can be made. The Democrat learned today.
 Aldermen Patrick Shea, Henry Minicucci and c. Arthur DuBois were named to the special commit tee after the ordinance had been submitted by group representing all community clubs in the city. The ordinance, said to be patterned after ones in effect in several cities, pro- vides for regular collection of re- fuse and ashes by the city,, in much the same way that garbage is now collected.
 The committee has been studying rubbish collection systems in effect in several communities, notably Bridgeport, and has also gone thor oughly into the matter of costs.
 Establishment of the plan would require the purchase and mainten- ance trucks, the hiring of men to work on the trucks and at the dis posal ground, and other expendi- lures, among them a proposed $500 raise for the supervisor of garbage collection.
