SANITARY ldnQIlil methOd OF disposal.
The ground, owned by the John
Steiner estate, was leased at the nom
inai fee of SIS per year.
Village officials had been negotiat-
ing the lease for several months.
Mayor Riser said, having the site
under consideration ever since they
had been advised that the present
village dump has just about been
filled to capacity.
The village will continue to use the
present dump at the rear of the
Amstutz Hatchery property east OF
Harmon road while the new site is
being prepared. Every effort will be
made to make the new dumping site
a model for dump tidiness.
First step will be to build a dixie
along Riley creek to prevent the
creeks flooding the new dumping
grounds.
The sanitary landfill method of
garbage disposal viii replace the
more time consuming and expensive
system of cooking garbage and feed
ing it to hogs. This plan. used in
many Ohio cities and villages, calls
for digging a long trench, then filling
it with garbage and covering with
earth after each load is dumped.
Properly cared for, such a dump will
not cause oders or vermin nuisance,
Mayor Riser said.
The villages sewage disposal plant
across the road is cited as an ex-
ample of how well maintained COM
munity facility for handling a dirty
job can be operated. Many village
dumps have eventually been filled in
and become community recreation
grounds.

Florida Beat
Tuskegee $3.50
In Annual Meet

Tuskegee Institute, Ala. The

ceptive and dangerous fangs, throt-
tied the Tuskegee Golden Tigers
$3.50, in their annual encounter
here Wednesday night; as vocifer-
Gus groups of spectators responded
Justify to the spirited play of the
two teams.
Scoring in the game began slow
ly and laboriously, neither team
making a point the first three
minutes of play. Then Charles
Evans, Florida guard, meshed two
points on sleeper play to set the
Rather scoring punch in motion.
Quickly Golden Tiger captain
drilled a basket from the outside
and his teammate, Nathaniel Fraz-
Ter, brough Tuskegee abreast of
Florida at 4-all by sinking two from
the charity lane A brief see-saw
contest developed until Florida
nosed ahead, 14-12.
From this point on the Florida
scoring artillery found the range.
Artillerymen Roy Young and j. C..
Williams who bagged IL points
each, and Leo Morgan and Charles
Evans, with IL apiece, shooting eff
fectively in the clutches, the Rat
tiers surged past Tuskegee, 4021
at the midpoint.
For a brief stanza in the second
half Tuskegee, with Randall Sterl-
ing, Thomas Lampkin and Nathan
lei Frazier scorching the netting,
threw a scare into the ranks of
the Florida supporters. This re-
vival of Golden Tiger point making
activity brought a vigorously fav-
orable response from the crowds.
Despite the galvanic efforts of
Lampkin, who captured high point
honors with IA, of Sterling and
Frazier, the Florida lead was too
formidable to overcome. Florida
canned Al points in the second
stanza while Tuskegee sacked 20,
to win handily, $3.50.
