Administration
OF Department
Still Uncertain

A busy session of the London
City Council was held in the
council chamber Thursday, Nov.
Is. All councilmen were present
and a large number of issues were
discussed. The number one issue
under consideration was the
authority and administration of
the Department of Sanitation.
The Sanitation Department is
that which is responsible for gar
bage and refuse collection. Ac-
cording to several councilmen, the
administration of the Sanitation
Dept. will be turned over TO the
Board of Public Affairs.
The Board of Public Affairs
was set up only recently to ad-
minister the London water works.
However, it was not known
whether the Board of Public Af-
fairs will accept the additional
responsibility. It is believed that
the Board Of Public Affairs may
"have its hands full' and turn
down any further responsibility
except that of administering the
affairs of the city owned water
works.
At the present time it is not
known when regular collections
of garbage and refuse will COM
mence nor in what manner fees
for the service will be charged.

pointments of Leland Tatman as

Supt. Of Sanitation and will have
charge of two laborers hired at
the city dump. The parking me-
ter maintainance man has not

Ernst is tentatively scheduled for
the job. Ernst had been recently

cause he is not of voting age,
However, it was explained that he

which move council has unof-
ficially approved.
