Toilet Toilet Dilemma Sparks Farmer Protest in Berkeley
BERKELEY AP A spokesman for vegetable growers warns that if proposed legislation on toilet facilities is too harsh farmers may install thousands of privies rather than use portable chemical toilets. Officials discuss costs from 500 to 900 dollars per unit and monthly maintenance fees. The rule would require facilities for all feed crop operations with five or more workers during two hours of harvest. Further meetings planned in Los Angeles as the bill is considered.
