Weston Spends $16,000 On Truck To Get New Concept On Garbage After months of consideration Weston Town Council finally deâ€" cided on the type of garbage truck the town should buy. The new â€" vehicle will cost . about $16,000. But. . . the truck will not onâ€" ly sweep the town clean, it will usher in a new concept in garâ€" bage pickups, according to the optimistic â€" councillors. Weston may become the second town in Canada to own the Convertaboles truck, with four times the capacâ€" ity of the town‘s present Saniâ€" van truck, and requiring one man less to run the vehicle. TheCouncil decided to buy the truck body from the maker, with headquarters in the U.S.A. and a new plant in Kitchener, Onâ€" tario, where Weston‘s truck body will be manufactured. _ _ ‘The truck chassis will be purâ€" chased from International Harâ€" vester as part of the $16,000 price tag. & 80 .

The Council passed a resoluâ€" tion last Monday, to bring the injuction against the apartment dwelling owner who, accroding to Council, has established an apartment in the basement of the building which is occupied by the owner, contrary to the provisions of the building byâ€"law. Mayor George Bull said the ownâ€" er, "has installed the apartment in spite of what he has been told.

He said the truck picked up 8 and one half tons of garbage in five and one quarter hours, with 350 stops covering a distance of 28 miles, plus 14 miles to the dump and back. The men on the truck loaded 730 containers of garbage into the carrier in one half day. The truck is "easy to load, packs garbage into compressed piles all day, is now being built and serviced in Canada, is made from high tensile steel, and will be a money saver to the town. He called the truck a "new inâ€" novation in Toronto," and said many fewer trips would be made to the town‘s dumps with the new vehicle. Mr. Dicks added the only snags in regular garbage pickups in Weston were caused by the pickâ€" ups at restaurants and apartment dwellings. He said some apartâ€" ments have as many as 30 or 40 garbage cans to pick up, at the normal rate a single family dwelling ‘owner pays in taxes for garbage pickup. â€" Councillor Robert Wood said he thought â€" the â€" garbage â€" bylaw ment house suitable for the use of four families only.
