GARBAGE ORDINANCE
Mr. C. Terence Ring, attorney for several garbage collectors, stated
that the garbage collectors wished to express their appreciation to the
District for the adoption of the garbage Ordinance.
Mr. Ring stated the collectors had two suggestions they wished to
present for amending the Ordinance:
1. Requirement of a bond in the amount of $5,000.00, which they felt
would strengthen the Ordinance because of the financial responsibility
required to obtain a bond.
2. Amending the Ordinance relative to the collection of "liquid
industrial wastes" which require different facilities for collection.
After discussing whether the suggestions could be handled as an
administrative matter rather than amending the Ordinance, Mr. Horstkotte,

Ring, attorney for the garbage collectors, were instructed toi'eviewthe
problems and present a solution at the next meeting.
