County Housekeeping
BY MARJORIE GARFIELD

legislation for the Councils May
session.
a An example of the way Mr..
Black works is his current study of
the problem of refuse disposal by
the Council at a March meeting.
He has been reviewing all mater
ials written on the subject by the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice and the State Department of
Health. He is planning a field trip
with Mr.. Pennington of the county
Sanitation Division to see what is
being done in the county. He has
arranged for consultants from
U.S.P.H.S. and Maryland Depart
ment of Health to go over all the
information he can assemble about
the county's needs and available
facilities with him, and to make
suggestions from their wider ex-
perience in dealing with the whole
refuse problem. From this he will
suggest a scheme Tor maybe a
choice of schemes) which he
thinks will fill the bill. His report
will tell how the plan could be
carried out and approximately how
much it would cost the county.
Handbook Is Recognized
Mr.. Black feels that the hand
book and the annual report with
it's eye appeal are good public re-
lations documents, as well as ad-
ministrative tools. They are being
used in high school classes, and
have been distributed by organiza-
tions. The county can look with
pride, too, on such recognition as

Answering Queries

Helping county employees deal
with the numerous requests and
queries from citizens wishing in
formation or services is his current
project. All employees have a copy
of the annual report and the blue
handbook, listing county officials
according to their responsibilities,
offices and telephone numbers.
With a quick turn of the page the
employee can find out what person
is best able to handle any problem
in question. A film is being Sc
cured to show county employees
exactly the intelligent and cour-
t'eous manner in which to handle
the public's inquiries. This should
help avoid complaints of "getting
the run-around" on calls to county
agencies.
