City weighs new garbage disposal plan with two rate sets
The commission reviews a proposed switch from the old system to a new disposal program near the Great Miami River south of the city. About 16 letters arrive bringing total cards and letters to over 400. A resident suggests maintaining the old style with permits and printed rate schedules for commercial and residential haulers. R. A. Pochel, the city engineer, aims to cross the levee with a roadway and expects to contact Conservancy officials soon. The sanitary fill grounds would cost about 20 000 dollars and include a roadway, with fill needed near the levee to complete the project.
