The fire essentially gutted the structure with water damage finishing off what the fire didn't get. ks orl(on)(o giirls)!) The Garland City Council voted Tuesday night to emplement a city-wid-e garbage pickup starting the first Tuesday in June. Regular pickups will be made every Tuesday afterwards, according to Mayor Eldon Griffin. All citizens are urged to have their trash set out by 8 a.m. each Tuesday for the new service. The new fee will be lowered to $2 per month for each residence while commercial and multiple dwellings will be charged $25. These will be billed separately while the residents will be billed by the city. Quality Recycling, a Tremonton based firm, has been awarded the contract which will be similar to the one the firm has with Tremonton. Lamont Dolman and Jimmy Carter will operate the garbage service. Garbage service in the past has been provided by a private firm with no city involvement. The service in the past has been very good, Mayor Griffin said. We have no complaints with the private ipck up at all he added. "The new service should be a real boom to our community," Councilman Dave Manning speculated. Mayor Griffin and councilman Poul-.e- r also brought the council up to date on their sewer meeting with the state and the Tremonton city council. "The state would feel good with either the trickling filter system or the oxidation ditch," Griffin said. "At first they prefered the trickier and if we insisted on it we could probably see it installed but there are pros and cons to both systems," Griffin remarked. But rather than delay the program any farther the council voted to go with Tremonton on the oxidation system. Our next step now is to set up an inner city agreement and work out the financial aspects, Griffin announced. Garland Conference Elder Valdo D.

Moments later Lish returned to find the family home engulfed in flames and firemen pouring water on the flames in a futile effort to save something. Today, Lish and a host of friends are cleaning up the debrie so the family can start to build a new home for At Awards Fete road. Forced to retire because of a disability, Lish decided to move the cont. on page three I themselves. Rebuilding will be doubly difficult because of the fire's ironic timing. The flames broke out in the kitchen one day after an insurance policy lapsed forgotten for the moment because of the press of other things. .
