At a special meeting Tuesday
night Council faced the fact that
the ordinance it adopted last
spring, putting the rubbish gar
bage collections into the hands of
the Board of Publ Affairs and
setting the above rates, becomes
law Oct. when the new codifica-
ton of city ordinances becomes
effective but that the new
collection system was not ready to
60 into action.
1t will take three weeks to ad-
vertise for bids on the needed
packer-type truck and about an
other six weeks to get it. A letter
from the Public Affairs Board
asked that the garbage ordinance
become effective Nov. l instead of
Oct. ], in order to bring collection
bills on a different month than
the combined water-sewer bills. It's
letter also requested an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for purchase of the
truck and an appropriation of
SIS, 200 for the landfill site.
Stick To Date
But solicitor Adair WILDER warn
ed Council that eff you're going to
be spending money for the truck
and landfill, as is necessary, you'd
better start getting some money
in," and the Oct. / date was re.
tanned for start of collections.
The first bills will be received
around Nov. 1, and be payable
/ within 80 days. They will be paid
at the waterworks. The first bill
will be for four months period
in order to start out the second
pay period in February and miss
the sewer-water bills date. Starting
then, the bills will be for three
month periods.
Double postcards will go out tt
some 1400 homes as we'll as all
business establihments, to deter
mine which will want combined
rubbish-garbage pickup, which will
require rubbish only, and which
