Calls requesting gar-
bage pickup flooded the
municipal building Mon-
day as the city prepared
to launch itself in the
trash collection business
on an emergency basis.
City Msnsget Carl Rishn
said from 460 to 600 persons
have requested trash pickup
during July.
“Moat of the calls have been
for reaidenncea,’' Riehn said.
“Not many buainessea have ask-
ed for the collection service."
On July 1, Williams Sanita-
tion Service will go out of bus-
iness. Co-owner Hollis Wil-
liams, whose business would
automativaily have vanished
when the municipal aanitation
ordinance becomes effective
Aug. 1, announced last week
he and his father U. S. Wil-
liams will quit a month early
because of special demands
for services and problems with
keeping personnel.
During July, the city plans
to offer a voluntary makeshift
collection service, with once-a-
week residential pickups cost-
ing |1 and business collections
up to six days a week at high-
er rate#. Compulsory municipal
pickups at all residences and
businesses will begin Aug. 1.
Riehn said Monday the big-
gest immediate problem is to
determine who went* the city’s
pickup service during July and
to devise routes for the dem-
onstrator truck which was de-
livered late Monday morning.
“Anyone wanting his trash
picked up by the city during
July should call the municipal
building by Wednesday so we
can set up our routes with a
minimum of difficulty," be said.

The Allen is reported to have

tight to be productive.
The Allen is situated in north-
ern Wood County a few miles
southwest of Hopkins County’s

and drilling continued to »»»out nine miles east of the

to make the Allen the deepest

East Texas at least.

atory possibilities in this area.
