Commissioner Sullivan announced that garbage collections will be as usual
over the Chr'istmas holidays. He went on to say that several places where the shoulders
of our streets have been seeded and fertilized have been cut 143 by vehicles riding over
them indiscriminately and asked that residents seeing vehicles doing this report it to
the Town Hall. The mailboxes, in some places, are set too far back so that the mail person
must ride up on the shoulder to deliver the mail. It is suggested that residents move
their boxes so that the mail carrier will not have to leave the pavement in order to reach
the box.
Mayor Hanan announced the resignation of Andrew McNally as Director of Civil Prepar
edness effective January 1st, and recognition was given to the fine work he had done.

elves—will begin. They will proceed from the Town Hall to Arborvitae, to Salter Path
Road, to Loblolly Drive, up Mimosa to Hawthorne, Sycamore and Beechwood, back to Mimosa
to Oakleaf as far as the Club. There they will turn around and come back as far as
Juniper, thence to Cypress as far as Cedar and on up to Salter Path Road and back to
