Collection To Be Twice Each Week
City Council ap-
proved a 60^ per
month (to $2.50) in-
crease in monthly
residential garbage
collection rates and
contracted for twice -
a~week collection at
regular meeting here
Tuesday night, Au-
gust 13.
The increase and
additional collection
day both become ef-
fective Tuesday, Oc-
tober 15.
Council continued
its contract for gar-
bage collection with
Don Myers. Myers
requested a month
increase July 9,
citing inflation's
costs of doing busi-
ness, for the present
once-a-week collec-
tion. Council tabled
this request.
Residential citi-
zens are now paying
$1.00 per month, of
win T.n Myers' firm
gets $1,65 and the City
gets a 25(2* "billing"
fee. Myers had re-
quested a $1.90 fee,
plus the City's 25^,
which would have
made the bill $2.15
per month — for
once-a-week collec-
tion.
Although citizens
voted two-to-one a-
gainst twice-a-week
collections in a ref-
erendum within the
past: year, Council
approved it Tuesday
night:. Myer s has
favored twice - a -
week collections
(common to almost:
all cities in the area)
for some time.
Of the new $2.50
rate, Myers will re-
ceive $2.25 and the
City will continue to
receive its 25^billing
SCHOOL OPENS
That big, loud sigh
of relief you'll hear
here Monday, August
19, will be the moth-
ers of the estimated
1,220 students to be-
gin the 1974-75 school
year in Cedar Hill.
School officials ex-
pect about 290 to be-
gin classes Monday
in both the high school
and middle schools
and about 320 in each
of the two elementary
schools.
Classes begin at
8:30 a.m. for a full
day. .
Lunchroom will
be in operation.
Lunches are 80^ each
day or $3.25 (five
days) per week for
elementary school
students. High
schoolers will pay
85^ each or $3.50 per
five-day week.
Buses will run
Monday — on about
the same schedule as
last year.
Kindergarten child-
ren, who attend one
half day, will be able
to ride buses only
one - way. Morning
kindergarten stu-
dents may ride to
school and afternnon
line
Hills
students ma y ride
home, but: parents
must provide the noon
time transportation
either way.
Boundary lines for
the two elementary
schools were changed
last week.
The new dividing
between South
and Bray Ele-
mentary Schools will
run south down the
center of Highway 67
from Belt Line Road
and east down the
center of Belt Line
Road from Highway
67.
In other words, stu-
dents living east of
Highway 67 and south
of Belt Line Road will
attend the new South
Hills. All others will
attend Bray.
The former bound-
ary line ran down
H i gh wa y 67 th ro ugh
the entire District.
Only students ef-
fected by the change
are those living both
north of Belt Line
Road and east of
Highway 67. They
now will attend Bray,
instead of their form-
erly proposed attend-
ance at South Hills.
fee.
All members of the
Council were present
at the session that
was long on verbiage
and short on action.
Councilman Jim
Strickland arrived 30
minutes (8p.m ) after
the session began.
Among other ac-
tion, the Council:
—Tabled a re-
quest for a 14x40 tem-
porary modular
structure on a lot on
the northwest corner
of Springtime and
Green Pastures in
Wildflower Addition.
The site is pro-
posed for Highway 67
Church of Christ.
Don Byler appeared
in support of the re-
quest, saying he was
the church's
"preacher."
The request drew
objections by tele-
phone, letters and at-
tendance. Nearby
residents complained
of the smallness of
the lot fo r a church
and the erection of a
"trailer" or tempo-
rary structure on
skids. Also, such a
move apparently
would violate deed
restrictions in the
area.
Byler said a per-
manent structure was
planned in about one
year on the site.
—Went against a
Zoning Board recom-
mendation and ap-
proved special use
zoning for a radio
tower in east Cedar
Hill.
Landowners in the
area appeared to sup-
port the action and
Zoning Board mem-
ber Dale St. John (who
voted to deny the re-
quest) appeared be-
fore Council to say
he was in error in his
voting and had
"changed his mind."
St. John's original
vote remains official,
however.
Council Frank Tid~
well abstained for
voting on the motion.
All others voted for
the approval.
—Approved a re-
quest from Lome
McMillen for a resi-
dence move - in on
Parkerville Road,
near Cedar Hill Road,
with the understand-
ing he meet all City

ROBINSON ST.
T
HIGH SCHOOL
TRAFFIC ROUTING
Traffic to Cedar Hill High School during con-
struct inn on Highway 67 will be required to fol-
low the above pattern. Crossing of Highway 67
will be ONLY at Robinson Street, lower part
of map To reach the high school, autos MUST
cross to the newly constructed east service
road at Robinson and proceed north. Motorists
are cautioned on two points: (1) traffic on the
east service road is one-way, northbound,
ONLY; and (2) through traffic will be using old
Highway 67 TWO-ways, thus a stop is neces-
sary when returning to Highway 67 from the
east service road. The routing is expected to
be temporary. Map is NOT drawn to scale.
