GARBAGE SET-UP
EXPLAINED
In view of a few scattered ex
amples of apparent misunder
standing the City Health com
mittee offers a orief outline of
the garbage disposal system now
in effect.
Due to inadequate facilities to
properly collect the garbage or
dire neglect on the parts of some
individuals in the past, a con
dition was created that finally
drew unfavorable comment from
the Territorial Health depart
ment.
Through various health
authorities and organizations
familiar with sanitation prob
lems the Health Committee of
the Common Council of Kodiak
evolved the following system:
1. An ordinance was passed
declaring the disposal of gar
bage (as sewage) a responsibility
of the city.
2. Individuals were asked to
post a performance bond and
submit bids to haul garbage
FOll THE CITY.
6. A Did was accepted and a
contract let on the basis of the
number of times garbage was to
be collected from each establish
ment.
4. To eliminate the very con
dition that created this neces
sity the City Health officer, in
collaboration with the City
Health Committee, established
an arbitrary schedule of pick
ups as a basis upon which to
start operating.
All eating houses and bars
were placed on a daily pick-up
basis at $25 per month; apart
ments and other types .of busi
ness 2 to 3 times weekly at 110
to $15 monthly; balance of busi
ness houses once each week at
$5 per month; and homes and
residences weekly at $2 per
monih.
It is not the intention to woik
a hardship on, or discriminate
against, anyone; therefore, any
one who feels his particular .-er
vice is under- or over-adequate
may:
1. by appealing to the City
Health officer or the health com
mittee to have an adjustment to
fit his needs. 2. secure a permit
to haul his own but under the
present system cannot HIRE
any other than the City of Kod
iak to haul it for him.
In the event of any grievance,
come to the Health Committee
and not to the contract haulers;
they are merely employees of
you, the City of Kodiak, and
working toward your own wel
fare, health and sanitation.
Your cooperation is the thing
that will count the most.
The list of business houses as
classified will be published next
week.
