One of these concerns payments

The other problem concerns the

On the first issue Washington

financial settlement, with the Brit

be reimbursed in full for their $20,-

expenses up to yesterday, when the

residential garbage since the old
city dump was abandoned.
This barge was a new, lower
one, replacing another barge
which the city had used salts
factorily. 1t was, however. too
low to use satisfactorily and the
city commenced to use Dredg-
er's Key for both restaurant and
residential garbage, paying the
expense of the operator .of the
Navy bulldozer needed there.
The residential garbage alone
was 1880 per cent "wet," so with
the added burden of the restau-
rant "wet" refuse, fly hazard

Capt. HouSer Immediately offer
ed to furnish chute. This would
enable the city to resume using
the barge for wet garbage. Dry
garbage would have to be de-
posted on Dredgers Key. Hence,
the necessity of informing the
residents of the city to separate
its wet and dry garbage.
wet" garbage comprises all
liquids, fruit and vegetable peel
ingS, coffee grounds, etc. "Dry"
garbage consists of paper, bottles,
and cans.
The city manager said that the
Junior Chamber of Commerce
and the JayShees will be re-
quested to help educate the pub
lie regarding the new garbage
regulations. 1t is expected that
the city will make two deliveries
a week, one for dry garbage, the
other for the wet.
The city will pay the barge
operator as it did when it for
merly used the barge on Satur-
days and Sundays, the two days
that the Navy didn't use it. The
barge takes the refuse six miles
to sea and dumps it. Dry gar
bage cannot be disposed of in this
manner, since much of it floats
back to shore.
Sewerage and mosquito rid
dence were also discussed at the
meeting. Ellingson revealed that
the city is keeping its sewage
system up to date to take care of
the heavy burden on it. He also
thanked Capt. Houser for the
Nays cooperation in fighting
the mosquito menace.
