by a cool reception in his home
community, stalked out of his
parents' home before Thanksgiv

consider him just a jailbird."
The former Army corporal

night. He got a big welcome from
his family and several boyhood
friends, but most citizens of the
area showed little interest in his

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.
