For Dumping.
The Hillsboip town board took
two actions Tuesday night of more
than passing interest to the com
munity’s ever-growing surburban
areas.. . .
•It directed the use of dumping
permits and set up a system of
fees for out-of-town residents de
siring to use the town ^garbage
dump and increased water tap-on
fee* for both town and snrburban -
residents. Both are effective im
mediately.
Increased costs of services and
materials necessitated the insti
tution of the additional charges
in each category.
The town fia*' recently had "to
construct a new road into the
property it owns to the north of
Highway 70 and off the unnum
bered road which heads north from
Dud’s Tavern. The charge system
was set up to offset the cost of
building and maintaining the road
and disposing of the garbage per
iodically at the dump.
Fee Schedule
- • ' ... ...a ...
A fee schedule for dumping per
mits for out-of-town residents and
firms is as follows:
(f) $5 per year for outside
home-owners
(2) $25 per year foP merchants
and business firms
(3) $5 per month or a maximum
of $50 per year for commercial
collectors^ckipg up outtttff of
, mm
Water taps were increased io
$50 inside the town limits and $75
outside of town They w-re form
erly $35 and $50 respectively.
Increased costs of meters, meter
boxes and copper pipe were given
as reasons for this actiofi.
In another, the board authorized
one additional street light to be
installed in the area of the Hills
