Lima May Have Muni-
cipal Garbage
Collection

Municipal collection of garbage
was step nearer reality in Lima as
city officials sought funds for pur-
chase and operation of at least seven
trucks.
Two city trucks may be put in
service within a week in areas in
which garbage collection now is ir-
regular, Mayor Frank McClain re-
ported.
Twice-a-week collections and other
new regulations have forced some
collectors out of business, and some
districts report no garbage collectors
are available. Collections now are
made by private handlers.
