Plan to Extend City Garbage Collection by Ticket System
J Edward McKiever, under contract to collect garbage for the city, proposes a self supporting plan for another year. The idea uses common tickets sold to households, with coupons earned per pickup cashed at the city treasurer. He estimates about 200 residents want the service continued at roughly 15 cents weekly. The plan faces general approval and would cost the city little or nothing.
