It was a tremendous effort put forth by the Union Repre- sentatives and the Garbage Collectors who on their own tried to do a colossal task. They tried to pick Up five o days of garbage in two days, during the last week of December. Councillor Bob Attersley said the Council ".appreci- ated the Staff t.aking' it on their own to, go out on Saturday before New Years to pick up the garbage put out by the p aople of Whitby for collection." He said the garbage had been placed out for collection and it "it. was a disgrace particularly in locations where dogs were,.pulling it ail round the place." He commended "the «garbage collectors and the Union people forputting in the Saturday -before New' Year!s* picking Up the garbage. It was something the Staff and Works Depart- ment did on their own." CouncillorGerry Emm poînted out that budget-size advertisements wýere placed in the papers stating there would be, no collection of garbage on the Moin'day, .Tuesday and Wednesday of the last week of -December.

"We are going to have to have a look at the biggest problem and that is, the receiving of sufficient infor- mnation by the Council s0 the members will know what is going on." The problem of insufficient information as t'o work sche- dules dealing with Public Works in the Town is to be looked into by the Council duririg the coming year, Mayor Gartshore said. Looking toward the Yule- ide season for next year (1979-80) Mayor Gartshore said that "full information is to' be given to the Council, Prs 0n otePbi.
