A proposed ordinance was presented to provide for mandatory residential sanit-

which, upon annexation several years ago, were sparsely populated and at that time
were given the option of either subscribing or not subscribing to that service.
Since that time those acres have grown in population, and the City is also more able
to provide sanitation service to all concerned. Ile pointed out that there are prob-
lems involved in disposing of garbage by these property owners not receiving sanit-
ation service; also, that in many instances our trucks are driving past these homes
in order to serve someone else who is receiving the service. He recommended that all
areas of the city be provided with mandatory residential sanitation service, with the
provision that the sanitation superintendent may waive this requirement in any case
in which the economic and physical conditions justify such waiver.
