Business and banking leaders and
organizations such as the Board OF

Individuals once ac- quainted with the time collection of their zone, can with little eff fort place their refuse to be col lected for that day, thus eliminat- ing spillage and scattering as much as possible.
 The condition of the present dump. which is very unsightly. and also becoming a health haz gard to individuals living near the area. is the results of any one dumping when they please and where they please with no supervision.
 Records of the past show that our tax money, varying from five hundred dollars to three thousand dollars per year, has been spent to level and maintain dumping area. which at no time, regardless of expenditure, has been adequate to keep the area slightly and to eliminate health hazard. This must be done to safeguard the lives of those living in this area To place in relatively good condi- ton. the cost will be many times any previous expenditure.
 In the city budget for the past few years, with costs of opera tion of the city increasing, no amount can be provided for any portion of cost for maintaining the dump.
 We hope that by providing for the city to collect, haul and dump the garbage, one person only will

be responsible for this service and for the upkeep of the dump.
 There are approximately 263 pc tential points of haul in the res idential areas. Thus charge of $2OO flat fee (per month for weekly hauling service must be charged to cover the cost of labor and equipment, and care of the dump If each individual citizen will bear this charge for a service rendered. we can have excellent service. keep the city cleaned up, eliminate health hazards and keep the dump reasonably under control and it will not be nee essary to take our limited tax funds to eXpend for a service which has proven costly and very inadequate.
 Any attempt that the council will take to better our garbage hauling service will be haphaZ- gard and inadequate without the full cooperation of the citizens of Seward. Thus, we ask your full cooperation to make our town the cleaneSt in Alaska.
