required at present to open their books for public review.
Hr. Horstkotte revie\oJed, on the blackboard, certain changes in operating
costs in 1961 vs. 1964, using Valley Disposal Company figures furnisher] in a
memorandum to the District Board prepared by Mr. Ageno, auditor for the firm.
After discussion, President fvlitchell stated that it appeared some of the
Directors wanted more information prior to making a decision.
President Mitchell asked about the disposal area owned by Acme Fill
Corporation, and if all of the garbage collectors had an interest.
Hr. Ageno stated all operators had a financial interest in Acme Fill
Corpora tion.
Hr. Ageno stated that the Internal Revenue Service has determined that
land used for such purposes does not increase in value.
Mr. Ageno stated that the land is expected to cover disposal requirements
for the nex~ 25 years and is being written off over this period.
Mr. Ageno further stated that the operators are charged by the ton to
dispose in the area and it is operated on a non-profit basis: no collector
profitinv from the operation.
Member Roemer suggested that the interim increase could be granted, setting
aside the funds and making a rebate if the interim increase is not justified
after the collectors have established a uniform accounting system and the
District has made a final determination.
Hr. Ewert stated that to obtain more information than has been presented
it would be necessary for him to spend a day on each garbage collector's
records. The cost for this service would be $75.00 per day for each of the
