of

Vishinsky
accused

from
being
elected
by
"ordering"
other
countries
to

Following

city

last

decided
to

make

on
garbage

for
a

be-

and
a
decision
will
be
made
ori

basis.
Cost
to
the
ctly
for
garbage
collections
last
year
was
$3,518
above
revenue,
and
Mr.
"Howe
said
that
this
year's
cost
would
not
be
"any
less."
Alderman
Rudderham
apparently
expressed
the
feeling
of
the
council
when
he
said
"I
favor
Increasing
the
charges
and
giving
the
people
back-door
garbage
collections."
However;
the
basis
on
which
such
a
system
could
toe
worked
out
will
depend
on
the
results
of
the
house-to-house
check.
The
City
Engineer's
report
recommended
that
rates
.
for
domestic
collections
be
raised
from
their
present
35

level
to
60
