GARBAGE SERVICE
PAYMENTS TO Be
DUE NEXT WEEK
Standardized Collection Date
for All Users viii be Put
Into Effect .
Payments for Municipal Service
to be Made to Town Clerk,
May IL to 20

Payments for municipal garbage
and rubbish collection service will
be made during a one-week period
from Wednesday of next week, May
II, until May 20, under new
system being put into effect this
year by the village administration.
Payments will be made at the
board of public affairs office with
Town Clerk Charles Emans handling
the collection.
Bills win be sent within the next
week to all patrons and if payment
is not made before May 20 service
will be discontinued. Reinstatement
will be made on payment of service
in arrears, one years service in
advance, plus a penalty fee of 81.
Send Notices to Patrons
In the notices TO be sent within
the next week, patrons will be billed
for the coming year ending, May,
1949, plus any amount in arrears up
to May of this year. In the future
all payments will be on the basis of
the one-year period from May to
May, or any part thereof.
Principal advantage of the new
system of collection will be elimina-
tion of the uncertainty in patrons
minds as to when payment is due,
for all collection dates will come at
the same time. Patrons will be
notified by card instead of attempt
ing to keep track of due dates on
their own calendars.
Householders receive garbage and
rubbish collection service here for So
year, one of the lowest rates In
the state, and the local service also
has proved one of the most satis-
factory in this area.
