Meetingswere held and a petition o ,.., ~.,..~-. ;;" SEp.8 1952 479 circulated, subsequently the survey was made. It was found that the garbage dump was poorly controlled, there being rodent signs and so~e r1ies. It was discovered, however, that the r1ies complained of in the tracts were not coming from the garbage dump but from a chicken farm adjacent to the tracts. This situation was cleaned up and no further complaints of flies were received. The following recommendations were made: The City purchase a bull dozer and use the cover and fill method of disposal. If burning is necessary, to burn at a time when smoke will not be a nuisance, and keep the burning to a minimum. It was stated here that from a health standpoint, there was no danger from smoke caused by burn- - I I l I ing garbage. The survey found the sewage disposal plant adequate and merely recommended closer supervision of the treatment plant in the future to reduce odors and fly and mosquito breeding. Mr. Ruegnitz recommended that industrial wastes be given careful attention if they are to be received into the City sewers as these wastes could pollute the under ground water supply. Mr. Gardella thanked Mr. Ruegnitz for his report and stated that the City would do all in its power to follow his recommendations, although it would take some time and planning to carry out such a program.

Garbage Disposal Plant A group of residents from the northern addition appeared before the Council; Mr. Saul Seigel was spokesman for the group. Mr. Seigel wished to know what progress was being made on changing - I I the method of garbage disposal. Mayor Gardella informed the group that members of the Council had been to various meetings on the subject and had visited various cities observing the different types of garbage disposal. It was agreed that the most satisfactory method seemed that of cut and rill, and that the two plants, sewage disposal and gar~age disposal, should be separated. To that end, land for garbage disposal must be acquired, after which, the r~ problem of proper e~ipment could be solved. There is no point in acquiring equipment which will be obsolete in a matter of months, but the plan must be a long range plan, designed for the next 20 to 30 years. Mr. Siegel asked if part of the present site could not be used immediately. Mayor Gardella explained that once the land is used ror rill and cover, it cannot be used for filter beds and the sewage plant will be needing additional filter beds soon. Tower for Air Watch Mr. Sterling Bosley and C. G. Clarke reported that the building they had looked at was suitable for an observation post. The next problem was to build a tower at a suitable site. - 14 OCT 2 0 1952 After some discussion it was decided that the post should be on City property, probably at the Corporation Yard.
