correct the latter it a low cost said dr c t william last night as he presented his annual report for 1940 to the town council dr williams who has been for years active in the apmpwlgn for a sewage system has decided that it la inadvisable to do anything about until after the war but he does be lieve that an immediate remedy should be found for the garbage vspfirsi problem in georgetown at the pres ent time the main town dump is located in the park and compjalntfl have been received from residents of the neighbourhood that waste paper blows into their yards from the dump if the town is not going to con sider a complete system of garbage collection it might be an improvement to license garbage conveyors stated dr williams in this way a check could be maintained on those who caelessly dumped refuse where it would blow about and cause trouble the council in discussing the mat ter late left the question of beauti fying the park dump with the pro- perty committee suggestions that it be fenced with snow fence and that evergreen trees be planted to encircle it were made and left with the com mittee for decision good health in town the report spoke highly of health conditions in
