Health Safeguards
Urged by Citizens
To help rid Abilene of rats and
otherwise safeguard the public
health, city commissioners were pe-
titioned Friday to charge a flat rate
for removal of garbage from every
home and to expand its facilities for
regular collection.
The request came from leaders In
a countywide rat control campaign,
supported by a civic delegation of
nearly two dozen persons appearing
before the commissioners.
It was proposed, and discussed
in some detail, that the city levy
on every family for 25 cents a
month to defray the expense, ad-
ding the fee to municipal water de-
f partment bills.
Commissioner Grover E. Nel-
son indicated strong favor for
the proposal. Mayor Will Hair
and two other commissioners
were more reserved, but con-
ceded that a serious effort must
be made to protect citizens’
health. Commissioner A. H. Pool
was absent from the meeting.
Commissioner Nelson esti-
mated the 25-cent charge would
yield monthly gms revenue of .
about $1,500.. Even with the ex-
tra bookkeeping entailed by such
a plan, he said, that should easi-
ly finance the undertaking.
Joe Shelton, city sanitary super-
visor, said the citywide garbage
collection would require the opera-
tion of two additional trucks and
the employment of four extra men.
1 DR. DILL HEARD
Maj. Francis E. Dill, M. D. who
heads the city-county health unit,
urged that the city even curtail
its collection of dry trash, a free
service, if necessary to provide for
garbage disposal.
The Rev. J. O. Haynes, appearing
as a representative of the Abilene
Ministerial Alliance, suggested the
city might consider abolishing its
dlscA.nt for on time payment of
sewer charges as a means of financ-
ing the garbage disposal.
Another spokesman was R. W.
Knight, manager of the Abilene
* Chamber of Commerce, who told
the commissioners that an educa-
/ tional campaign conducted in con-
nection with the drive on rats had
prepared many persons throughout
the city to back up some drastic
action."
Mrs Nat O. Rollins, representing
the Shakespeare Club, favored the
25-cent fee plan and urged that the
city provide twice-weekly collection
of garbage
In answer to a query from Mayor
Halr. City Atty. E M Overshiner
expressed the opinion that the city
could legally assess the garbage dis-
posal charge as an emergency meas-
ure to safeguard community health.
He added that the city al-
ready has an ordinance on its
books which requires only strict
enforcement to insure garbage
removal. It provides that each
family may be held responsible
for ’arranging to have garbage
collected by whatever means
available.
, All those appealing to the
commission asked that the city"
Compel occupants of every resi-
dence to place garbage In cov-
ered containers where it would
be inaccessible to rats.
Shelton reported the scarcity of
covered containers was the main
problem confronting those now col-
lecting garbage for the city on a
limited scale. He said many per-
sons merely dump refuse on the
ground and that it must be shoveled
into garbage trucks.
Among others in the delegation
appearing before the city council
were Mrs. John Dressen, Abilene
Garden Club, mittie Morris and
Mrs. Faulkner, Abilene Business and
Professional Women's Club; Mrs. H.
B. Bailey, Abilene Study Club; Mrs.
L. H. Harris and Mrs. T. H. Brown,
Travis School; Mrs. J. H. Moreland.
Locust School; Mrs. W. V. Ramsey,
21 Club; Mrs. Mason Altman, Wo-
man's Forum; Mrs. W. D. Bond,
Hardin-Simmons Round Table; Mrs.
J. H. Fantom and Mrs. Hayden Har-
rall, Locust School; Mrs. O. P.
Thomas; Homer Scott, Abilene
Chamber of Commerce president.
Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Tate, Lake
Kirby, had as guests over Thanks-
giving their son, Pvt. Troy Lee,
Lubbock Army- Flying School, and
Miss Iola Tate, who teaches school
in Vernon. Mrs. Troy Lee return-
ed to Lubbock with her husband
to make her home there.
