Bowmanville Police Dump Situation Serious 13 Rat Houses Wrecked Intruders.Lighting Fire A serious situation bas arîiseil in connection with the Bow- manville Town Dump. It bas ne- sulted from the action et cer- tain members et the generai public, and it bas beceme ne- cessary for steps te be taken to eliminate tbis preblem be- fore conditions thtre become worse. The dump bas been located at the end et Jackmans Avenue for many years. In 1956 the Place became se infested xitiî rats that it was a bazard te tho bealth and welfare et the down. During that year ti-l Works Department worked bard te clear it up and eradicate the rats. This preject was accem- plished successfully. From that time until recent,- ly thc dump has been practical- ly rat free. Several methodsi were used te achieve this result, and il took a great deal eftlime and money. Rat heuses have been placed thene by the Worksi Departrnent. Tbese rat houses contained poisoned bat andi *were effective in desiriroying- the redents. This yean 13 rat houses bave been wantenly destnoyed by people. using the dump for themselves. The bouses were demelished by smashing blows, thrown in the tire, or in some instances carted away. Smoke bas become a nuî- sance and there bave been cern- plaints of it coming from the dump on many occasions. The Works Department neyer burn any et the garbage there. Cer- tain individuals do se wben they bring their ewn rubbisb te the dump. The fines spread throughout the dump area saus- inga cu-nsiderable smoke. The Bowmanville Pire Bri- gade on more than one occa- sien in necent months bas bad te go te the Town Dump te put eut the tires there. It is a pity that thougbtless and irresponsible pensons have caused these difficulties. The Bowmanville Town Dump ria- cently has earned the naine of being the best such place along the Lake Shore. It bas been inspected by the Nortbumber- land-Durham Héêlth Unit. Lloyd Quinton, Works Fore- mari. stated yesterday that the time has came when the men- ace caused by some private us- ers o! the dump must be elim- inated. "We must get tough. There is ne ether solution. Amy- one removing anytbing, or lighting tires at the dump wil be severely dealt with," Mr. Quinton said. He pointed eut that there are two free pick-ups a nionth for rubbish in addition te the weekly garbage collections for ail toivn residents. "Conditions at the dump must improve. If there is net complete co-epera- tien from everyone in this re- gard the dump will be fenced. There wiil be a locked gate and the general public wil only be allowed to enter the dump once a week. Offenders will be taken to court" Three valued town employees, who retired last week, are shown in the top photograph.
