The fee was set at .$7,00 per month, or any, portion thereof, payable in advance. Reason for the move is that all town services, such as poliee pro- tection,' school facilities and fire protection, as well as the utilities are provided for the trailei• resi- dents, who do .not become liable for property taxation in the ordin- Trash Containers Not Working ary manner, Couneillor Elmer Wilkinson• ex- pressed the opinion that the trash, cans which are placed along the, main thoroughfare should be re- moved. He said that he was all in faVor of these containers when they were introduced by the Lions Club, but that they have ceased to function, and he pointed out that only one of the cans 'is used re- gularly.

Several deplored the appear- ance of the town, particularly on Sunday mornings when the street cannot be swept following a• 'busy Saturday evening.

Bert Platt.pointech out that it would be rather difficult to enforce when much of 'the litter is created by smaller youngsters with wrappers from p'eresicleS and similar confeetio'ns. Although no action was taken in the matter. the council dropped the question with the thought of 're- painting the trash containers so they would be more noticeable and• of directing a letter to scheol tea- chers who Could pass on some dir- ection to town youngsters on the subject .of better, community 'house- keeping. • Bring Back, the Whilitles Mayor McKinney said that the clerk had passed on to him the suggestion that the factories in town might be asked to use their Whistles once more` at the noon hour and at closing time each ev- ening.
