The Garbage Contract
VERY shortly the city council will award contract for hauling of garbage the next twelve months.
The person getting the contract should be compelled to haul not only garbage but other things as well, such as light discarded articles, old newspapers, palm leaves, etc.., accumulating about a home and their disposition puzzling to the average householder.
A few nights ago the fire department was forced to make a run all because the garbage man refused to haul away some palm leaves from a home in the northwest part of the city. Those leaves were as light as a feather. They had been placed by a garbage can two weeks ago. Realizing the garbage man did not intend to remove them the owner of the home applied a match. Result: Someone thought a big fire was raging, turned in the fire alarm, and the fire fighters made an unnecessary run.
It wouldn't hurt the garbage man to pick up palm leaves and ther things that do not weigh much.
