Espanola, New Mexico November 29, 1956 Six THE RIO GRANDE SUN, Village Garbage Rates Reshuffled Espanola town trustees were reshuffling their garbage rates and planning an amendment to the present ordinance after a recent court ruling that the present rate schedule is discrinatory. Under the amended ordinance, individual businesses will not be identified but rather will be classified into types and sizes, of businesses. Attorney Pete representing City Attorney Matias Chacon who is recuperating from an opration, explained to the council that the present rates had been ruled discriminatory on two, counts. First was that the schedule of rates was not included in the dinance and second that the schedule was not an official document in that it had been changed in several places by penciled no tations. Melindez explained the council would have to make the rates part of the ordinance and must classify the businesses.

"The council may fix rates but they must be fair and not discriminatory," he told the council. Councilmen agreed to study changed rate schedule and amend present ordinance to include the new rates as a part of the law. Under the new schedule, businesses will be charged according to size and type of firm. Trustees Bud Gallup, Robert Drace and Joe C.
