be "good

taken, it appears North
Orlando will go into the
refuse business.Council has
been weighing the pros and
cons of providing this ser-
vice, and the majority of
the council appeared in
fagot of starting refuse
collection when the present
contract with C&M Refuse
expires June 30.
Councilman Charles E.
Rowell stated income from
billing for refuse service
could be estimated at $500
a Month. Expenses would
be $300 a month for salary;
$109 per month for repairs,
maintenance and gas; $15
monthly for use of the
county dump; $15 a month
for billing expense; and an
estimated figure of $20 a
month for insurance costs.
IT WAS said a man was
willing to take the job at the
above salary and that his
duties would also include
village maintenance and
road work. Council ap-
proved purchase of a ton-
and-ahalf dump truck for
$500 from the road and
bridge fund for "mainte-
nance and upkeep of vil-
lage streets." It can be
assumed when this vehicle
is not in use for road repair,
thei council will use it for
refuse service, if they ap-
prove starling the service.
Village Attorney Thomas
Freeman pointed out to
council that providing-this
service could present many
legal problems as well as
problems with collection of
bills, promptness of set--
vice, insurance, bookkeep- 3:_-s .�
ing, workmants compensa-
tion and upkeep.

Refuse Service Stops,

NORTH ORLANDO — Chet only real problem developed when

community Friday after reports of service to the community, and the
dissatisfied customers, then resumed matter is to be taken up again at the

Macek said he terminated the
service after reading the "fantastic"
reports of dissatisfied customers. "I
was willing to forfeit my $250 cash
bond and let the council care for the
citizens' garbage for the remaining
six weeks," Macek said.
HE ADDED: "I had not serviced
North Orlando on Friday and would
not have come hack on Saturday had
it not been for the overwhelming
reports and phone calls from the 90
per cent plus satisfied customers."
The reports of dissatisfied custom-
ers came from a village council
survey which drew 66 reponses from
271 homes polled. Of the replies, 39
expressed dissatisfaction.
Macek criticized the council for
announcing the survey only 30 days
prior to the expiration of his
contract. He said that on expiration
he has a right of renewal on 30 days
written notice. Macek's contract
expires June 30.
MACEK SAID he conducted his
own survey and received only six
complaints, three of which could
have been solved promptly with an
earlier telephone call. The other
three complaints weren't signed,
Macek said.
