<br />;'received by the Councilman, concerning garbage collection in Sunnymede. A period of
<br />!;'discussion and argument ensued. City Engineer, R. S. Andrysiak, pointing out that in
<br />','fairness to all the citizens, special carrying service could not be furnished to any
<br />;None section or area. It was the decision of the Board that the complainants represented
<br />'an extreme minority, in view of the statement of the Superintendent of the Sanitation
<br />;Department, H. M. Tomlinson, that this department had made a survey of all areas of
<br />The City, where garbage must be placed at the curb, and this survey had indicated almost';
<br />100% cooperation on the part of the householders at this time. Superintendent Tomlinson
<br />further stated that in these areas where garbage is set out at the curb, if the garbage •
<br />is at the curb by 7 otclock in the morning, it will be emptied within a matter of three
<br />hours at the maximum.
<br />The Board then established the following regulation for garbage removal, effective'
<br />this date:
<br />In areas where there are no alleys, the garbage
<br />will be picked up at the curb on designated pick-up
<br />days, and in those areas where there are alleys,
<br />garbage will be pinked up within five feet of
<br />i the alley line on the designated pick-up days.
<br />'f Garbage shall be in containers of not less than
<br />ten gallons, nor more than twenty-five gallons,
<br />of metal, with matching cover, and with handles
<br />sufficiently strong for workmen to empty conven-
<br />G iently. No container with contents is to weigh
<br />more than sixty pounds.
<br />'i Garbage shall be wrapped to prevent exposure to
<br />air and flies.
