Riverside Medford Garbage Disposal At Gold Hill on Council's Agenda Gold Hill Further study of the garbage disposal problem will be a special item on the agenda of the Gold Hill city council meeting Monday, Dec. 2, according to Ferd Jones, city recorder. The council had under consid eration a proposition to close the city dump and relocate it in the northwest corner of the city. At the Nov. 4 council meeting a petition signed Jay about 75 resi dents of the city objecting to the proposed new dump location was presented to the council, Jones said, and also information had been received by city offi cials that it was illegal to oper ate a garbage dump within one fourth mile of housing or public roads. Since the proposed new loca tion as well as the old dump lo cation both being within the one fourth mile limit, the coun cil was faced with the problem of disposing of the garbage out side of the city, Jones stated. The recorder stated that the council went on record at the November meeting to take ne cessary steps to take the city out of the garbage business and turn the garbage collection over to a responsible garbage collecting agency who would provide garbage service and col lect from residents, whatever fees would be set for such serv ice, and that the present city dump be closed and covered with soil. Since the November session residents in the east end of the city have indicated objection to the city continuing the present dump operation. It is expected by city officials that applications for providing garbage service to the people of the city will be submitted at the council meeting Dec. 2. The council may also give prelimi nrry consideration to the formu lation of a city ordinance cover ing the garbage handling. The city planning commission met Nov. 22 and reviewed the action of the council on the gar bage problem. The commission will have a report to present to the council. Members of the city planning commission are Ralph Bell, H. D. Force, and Paul Molloy. Firefighters Mop Up Azusa Blaze Section Azusa, Calif.
