Too Much Paper
Mixed With Garbage

BIuffton housewives were
warned this week that excessive
use of paper in wrapping gar
bage is causing considerable diff
ficulty i'm the waste collection
service.
Mayor w, A. Howe pointed
out that garbage collected from
BMffton homes is disposed of for
use in feeding hogs. Some light
wrapping of garbage in paper is
permissabIe, but the use of an
excessive amount makes the re-
fuse unfit for consumption by the
animals and makes it necessary
to burn large amounts at the
disposalsfarm.
The addition of large quanti-
ties of paper also creates double
hauling duties by. the collection
department..
"Unless the present practice is
discontinued, it may be necessary
to ban the use of all paper in
wrapping garbage" Mayor Howe
said. VI
Attention was also called to
the May Is deadline for payment
of the ansilal waste collection
service charge of $4.00. A one
dollar penalty must be paid after
the deadline. The charge is pay
able at the Clover Farm store on
West Vine street.
