Letter To The Editor
City Garbage Fee Attacked
Dear Bobby:
At the stated meeting of
the City of Perry Council on
May 16, 1972, consisting of
Mayor Barton, Councilman
Hardy, Britton, Casey,
Hackworth, Houghton and
McKinley, 5 voted Yes,
McKinley voted No,
resulting in an Ordinance
charging $7.50 per month for
the collection of waste
basket accumulations
consisting of used envelopes,
scratch paper, drinking
cups, hand towels, kleenex
and similar items used in the
administration of a business
office.
On July 1,1972 statements
in the amount of $7.50 for this
collection service were
mailed out.
By prior arrangement with
Mayor Barton, the writer
attended the July 18 meeting
of the Council and presented
the following solution, in
writing, a copy being
distributed to Mayor,
Council and Secretary.
My name is Herbert G.
Drews, I am the Executive
Vice President of the
Building Material Mer
chants Association of Ga.,
Inc. doing business at 911
Ball Street, Perry, Ga.
I respectfully submit the
following solution to the
criticism now rampant in
Perry due to the inequitable
fee placed upon the so called
Garbage Collection Service
effective July 1, 1972.
I recommend that the
following professional
business offices: insurance,
realtors, associations, at
torneys, accountants,
building, plumbing and
electrical contractors,
finance & loans, and all
service organizations who do
not carry an inventory of
merchandise for sale, such
as dry cleaners, beauty
shops, doctors and dentists
be assessed a fee on the
following basis:
The following schedule
includes the owner or
manager.
For an organization with
two persons a fee of $2.50
monthly.
For an organization with
three persons a fee of $5.00
monthly.
For an organization with
four or more a fee of $7.50
monthly.
The reason for the
distinction between
professional and service

organizations and a retailer
of general merchandise is
that the retailer receives his
inventory in boxes, cartons,
burlap etc which develops a
quantity of waste material
that must be disposed of by
the City Collection Service.
How can it be determined
how many persons are
employed at a given office?
An investment in good
public relations at a cost of
not more than $25.00 will
readily give that answer. A
letter to all firms asking
them to honorably check the
appropriate bracket for the
amount of persons with
which they operate: 2 J— 4
or more—.

dressed stamped envelope to

Perry State Patrol Reveals
New Trailer Inspection Law
Attention has been called
by the Georgia Department
of Public Safety to a new law
regarding the inspection of
trailers, and the information
was made public here by
Perry Post 15 of the Georgia
State Patrol.
Formerly, trailers that
weighed less than 1,500
pounds were exempt from
inspection requirements.
Recently passed House Bill
1169, however, now makes it
mandatory for all trailers
regardless of weight to be
inspected once a year.
The ruling in Georgia
Annotated Code 68-1726
states that every motor
vehicle, trailer and semi
trailer registered in this
State shall be inspected, and
that an official certificate of
inspection and approval be
obtained for each such
vehicle. The Director of the
Department of Public Safety
is made responsible for
enforcing the regulation.
Exempt from the
regulation are trailers or
semi-trailers built upon a
chassis and designed to be
used as a dwelling without a
permanent foundation,
which exceed a width of
eight feet and a length of 29
feet, or a gross weight of
4,500 pounds.
A second bill passed into
End of Presentation
The writers motive for
presenting this solution was
the hope that it would
stimulate discussion that
might prove productive
towards creating a more
equitable fee for this pick-up
service.
Discussion did not take
place. Postponement did,
until the next stated meeting
of Council on August 1, 1972.
During the August 1 stated
meeting, which the writer
attended, Chairman Casey
reported that the rates would
remain as specified in the
Ordinance; namely $7.50
monthly. This five man
decision then means that a
business or service
organization with two per
sons would pay $7.50 monthly
as does the Bank of Perry
law in the 1972 session of the
General Assembly provides
that a driver of any vehicle
involved in a traffic accident
in which there is no personal
injury or in which no second
party or the property of a
second party is involved no
longer has a duty to stop
immediately and report the
accident. The law prohibits
