This town of Newbold road has more to offer than a scenic of the northwoods. The passing motorist can also look upon an unsightly pile of debris. This is said to be an "unofficial" dump. Were it an authorized town dump, it still should not be near a road nor should it be a fire hazard.

Such conditions as shown in the photo are drawing complaints from northwoods residents.

If one takes a leisurely drive Oneida county, he will note more'! than the scenic beauty of northwoods. Amidst the fresh green I foliage and the purple swamp laur- el that decorate the roadsides will be sgen unsightly piles of garbage, rubbish and other debris. Is this an attractive sight for northwoods visitors? Is this practice of indiscriminate dumping one that will stimulate the tourist trade upon which this area depends much? Many people do not believe so. The Daily News has received complaints regarding the debris scattered along roadsides in the vicinity of Rhinelander. At a recent meeting of 'the Rotary Club, his matter was the subject of dis- ussion.

In a letter to Dist. Atty. Forest N. Rodd, a prominent city Indus- rialist asked if there were any egal provisions regarding the prac- ice of unauthorized dumping. It eems there penalties are provided.

"I received your recent letter relative to the problem of rubbish and efuse being dumped along our lighways," answered the district attorney. "I appreciate" that this is quite a serious problem and certainly de- from the beauty of our countryside. Of course, a portion of the responsibility might be laid to tourists and outsiders, but we have of local residents contribute to this extremely unsightly condition." "You asked concerning county ordinance relative to this condition. But from my examination of the statutes, I feel we need go no further, since there are provisions in the statutes which should adequately cover the particular matter." Cites Two Statutes. The district attorney then cited two statutes.

Section 60.70 provides that "any person who throws or deposits any sod, brush, cans, machinery or other waste or rubbish in any highway located in any town without the written permission of the town board shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not to exceed $50 or by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed 30 days." Section 60.72 provides that "no person or municipality shall transport any garbage, rubbish or other refuse into or within any town for the purpose of dumping, or otherwise disposing of same, until such persons or municipality shall have first secured a permit to do so from the town board." The district attorney continued, "This latter section provides for a penalty of not less than S5 or more than $100 or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than six months, or by both such fine or imprisonment. "I appreciate the interest of the Rotary Club in this regard. Per- haps by informing the public, wt may tend to curb this bad In his letter it is most likely that the district attorney "hit the nail on the hea'd" when he suggested that local residents were dumping refuse 'along the many fresh piles of debris have been' noted long before the start of the tourist season. Sot Enough humps? An official of the U. S.

forest service office in Rhinelander suggested this practice exists because "there are not suitable dumps available to rural people." He explained that on federal property towns are encouraged to establish dumps and special permits are granted for certain dumping sites. He added, however, that fire lanes should be bulldozed around dumps and that the dumps should be tended. He stressed that wanton dumping of debris along roadsides creates a great fire hazard. The forest official said, too, that road maintenance crews are kept busy cleaning up such debris. "And from a recreational standpoint, this dumping is not at all advantageous." The Daily News learned that at least one area township has no official dumping grounds.

This is the town of Crescent where an official explained the town has been trying to acquire a site for a has met with no success to date. In Newbold an official said he "believed" a town dump had been established near Highway 70. He adde'd there was no official dump 4n the southern portion of the township where the above photo was taken. The town of Woodboro has a dump near the memorial forest, but an official reported the dump' is not tended. In Pine Lake a dump has been established on County Trunk C.

Three Types of Debris. Whether or not a town has a dump, debris can be seen along almost any roadside in this area. There are three types of refuse piles. One might be classified as "hit and run" dumping, where, one has apparently driven up in his car, hastily emptied a trash can and driven off. A second type of debris pile may je called "picnic scattering." Here people stop by the roadside and lave lunch.

When they drive off, hey leave dirty paper plates, empty food cans, celluloid wrappings and beer scattered about. This makes a perfect fire hazard in a dry forest. The last type is the "unofficial" dump. It grows from the first two ypes of dumping. Once a small pile debris is started, other people are encouraged to deposit their trash and garbage there.

Fifst, area residents must take pride in their take bride in this mecca to. which thousands of people flock yearly who do not have the good fortune to live in such an environment. Such pride would not permit the countryside to be spoiled by refuse piles. Secondly, townships should establish one or two easily accessible town dumps, properly supervised against becoming fife hazard. These dumps should be placed so that they coiif'd -not be viewed by passing motorists.

Finally, eath individual should take upon Himself the duty of disposing of garbage or debris. When on an outing, for is a simple matter to use a shovel and bury such waste material. One Rhinelander resident has a lake cottage a few miles from town, and he has set up an efficient disposal system. At his cottage he converted three oif drums into burners in which he does away with all garbage. The empty tin cans and bottles he places in a gunny sack nailed to a barn door.

When the sack is full, he brings it into Rhinelander arid empties it in the city "dump. Large municipalities conduct periodic cleari-up drives.
