The Board is continuing its study with the view to making recom- mendations on a long range plan. for garbage disposal for this City.

This will require an amendment to the garbage ordinance. Therefore, the Board requests that the Council ask the City Attorney to draw up the amendment to the ordinance. The City Attorney will find the undersigned or Mr. Wall, the Public Health Engineer, available at his convenience to assist with the preparation of the ordinance amendment. Yours very truly, L. A. Weed, M.D. President of Board of Public Health & Welfare" 1 • 1 E 1 1 u 433 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council ¢" of the City of Rochester, Minn., June 15, 19 53 1 1 1 0 A petition for the construction of a sanitary sewer and watermain on lst'!
