County Hopes To Set Up Refuse Program This Year
Hamilton County officials express hope to start a county wide refuse collection and disposal system this year. Vice president Arthur Reiff said the county seeks a sanitary engineer to plan supervise the system and oversee operations. The panel also considers juvenile security quarters separate from the county jail to be built on the city outskirts.
