The city is closing the Aurelius Road landfill under state orders at 2:30 p.m.

today but has arranged with private landfill operators to accept rubbish from Lansing residents effective Monday. Granger will accept what it calls small items at a compactor to be installed at the Aurelius landfill site and Vector By DAN POORMAN Staff Writer Construction Company will allow dumping on its grounds one mile west of I-96 at 8550 W. Grand River Ave. LANSING MADE the temporary arrangement with the contractors when it was forced close the nearly filled AureHouse dump because it is "on the verge of polluting" Sycamore Creek. The city is waiting for Ingham County to open a landfill it could arrange to use.

Vector is also accepting trash from Grand Ledge residents. The Grand Ledge dump is scheduled to close today un- Anti-Crime Pays Off for By NORMAN SINCLAIR Staff Writer Lansing's finest got a pat on the back Friday from Police Chief Tom O'Toole after the FBI announced a spectacular drop in the city's crime rate. The FBI statistics, released quarterly, showed 29.7 per cent fewer crimes in the first three months of this year than in the same sharpest period drop last for year cities over 100.000 across the nation. The drop shows the success of the department's anti-street crime campaign which began last fall. USING MURDER, robberies, rapes, assault, burglary, larceny and auto theft statistics as an index, the FBI said that cities over 100,000 in population reported crime declined four per cent while Lansing topped the country with a 29.7 per cent drop.

Crime in Lansing dropped in every major category except murder and rape, with the largest decline showing in robberies down from 108 in 1972 to 46 in the first quarter this year. The murder and rape categories are deceptive. Murder doubled from one to two and rapes from 6 to 11, small numbers that pad percentages. der county orders because it is nearly full. Vector, which is open from 7 a.m.

to 4:20 p.m. daily and 7 am. to 1 p.m. Saturday, will charge at least $1 per carload. Granger, open 5 p.m.

daily and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, charges at least $1.50 per carload and $4.50 for pickup loads. THE CHARGES may change when the city and the contractors sign a contract. The city's previous charge for dumping at Aurelius was 25 Push Police (108); aggravated assault 57 (64); burglary 503 (892); larceny 975 (1,193) and auto theft 99 (144).

WHILE BATTLING crime on streets, O'Toole also fought the City Council for more manpower for his programs. The council refused to give him an increase in authorized strength last month. "I am still hoping the Council will recognize the job we have been doing and realize how much better we could be with some more O'Toole said. "Starting July 1 we are! going to regroup and reconsider how we can best do the job with the manpower we have. We had counted on help July 1 but we going to slacken off because, the council turned he said.

WHILE CITIES over 100,000 reported an average drop of four per cent in crime, the national picture showed an increase of six per cent. Atty. Gen. Elliott Richard- son also announced that starting 1973, with the this use of first larceny report of more than $50 as a of crime was being category. Inflation, he said, has made the term useless.

He reorganized most divisions and created specialized ones to handle burglaries and robberies in particular. A burglary, surveillance team created by former Chief Derold Husby blossomed under O'Toole and the average number of burglaries the city dropped by almost a half. "O'TOOLE SAID when he took over he explained the challenge to the men and they picked it up.

"Community cooperation also shows in that crime O'Toole said. "Without help from the community, and without their cooperation, we could never have made that big a dent," he said. A comparison of Lansing's crime figures for the first quarter, with the 1972 figures in brackets, shows murder 2 (1); rapes 11 (6); robbery 46 Fletcher Robinson, of 3323 W.
