Wellington Council delays waste paper bins awaiting state guidance
The Wellington Municipal Council postponed allowing bias at vantage points for waste paper collection until new State Government advice is received. Mayor Dr. W. W. Savage criticized a local paper company’s pay-to-collect scheme tied to the Red Cross and Salvage Council and said profiteering must not occur in the town’s waste paper drive. The decision rests on further departmental clarification and next meeting’s reply.
