Municipal garbage service plan faces funding crisis
The committee finds city revenues insufficient to finance garbage collection under current taxes. A municipal system funded by monthly fees and revenue bonds is recommended, while other services must be cut or reformed. Residents now pay private collectors, who provide poor service and lax enforcement. The city must assume sanitation authority and require disposal to meet health standards.

House Votes on OPA Reforms Amid Inflation Fight
The House, led by Republicans with some Democrats, acted on OPA reforms with Senate concurrence. It capped OPA price controls at nine months, ordered end to a $2 billion subsidy program by January 2, and stopped the $157 million meat subsidy by June 30. A cost-plus pricing plan was approved, while a forced-liquidity rule would lift ceilings on high-output products. LAP clothing price limits were repealed, and OPA was barred from cutting retailer margins on reconversion items. The House also retained meat controls amid earlier votes and formed a 63-member anti-inflation committee labeling OPA scuttled by lobbyists.
