Landfill (Continued From Page One) counter-campaign if the city council fails to turn down the contract during its meeting 'this Monday. About 50 people, Adams said, have contributed to the cause, adding that it is possible that an injunction might be brought against the city if the contract is okayed. If the council seems inclined to go along with Sanitech, Adams said, then the concerned citizens groups will formally organize. "We want the City Council to do something other than dump this problem off on someone else," Adams said.

Adams also said he would favor adding extra charges to the city water bill to help in paying for the landfill cleanup and that he could collect names of 5,000 people who oppose the present Sanitech contract. B. P. DENNEY, Paris architect and member of the Solid Waste Authority's board, said he recognizes that the proposed plan has its inequities. "But," he added, "you just can't jump in with the Eutopian solution." "I'm afraid there will be other regulatory agencies (other than the State Health Department) that will come in here and put us under restrictions that we' will never come out from the first step of a mile journey," Dennej summarized.

It will take a company. Denney added, with ar enormous amount of reserve capital to correct the landfill situation. And, he explained. the city cannot assume the million landfill operation, even though the landfill might operate better undei city control. "I just want us to get this place cleaned up," Denney concluded.

BALLARD (Bob) Huddleston, former City of Paris engineering and public works department employe opposes the Sanitech contract. Noting tnat Sanitech, private corporation, is obligated to its stockholders to show a profit, Huddleston said that the city could undertake the same chore for less cost to residents. And Huddleston also cited Paris' two former city-operated landfill sites which have been placed back into productive use. Describing the present landfill site as "not an ideal place to begin with," Huddleston said a large number of small haulers are using the landfill without charge. ONLY licensed haulers, and those dumping large volumes of trash, are charged, according to Kerry Sweatt.

Citing the inequities in charging, Sweatt added that this was one of the problems at the landfill. Landfill workers, he said, keep records of the commercial dumps at the landfill. But recores are not kept on the small, individual dumpings. This year's revenue from the landfill, through May, is $16,964, the city manager said. HUDDLESTON also said the city sold about 30 acres of land adjacent the landfill several years ago.

At that time, he said, the city said the land was not needed for the landfill. Dirt from that land he said, could have been used to scWe current cover- up problems. Huddleston, now in real estate and construction, said he favors closing the present landfill completely and moving the site to other city- owned property. One alternative, he said, is Cox Field, where the city leases about 600 acres for agricultural use. Only about of the airport property, he said, is needed for the airport's operation.

Or, he said, the city also owns property in the Lake Crook and Lake Gibbons area, which, barring environmental regulations, might be used for landfill sites. MARSHALL Nichols, district conservationist with the Soil Conservation Service, supports the Sanitech plan and the effect mandatory trash collection would have in cleaning up not only the city, but the county. "There is a serious problem all over the county," Nichols said as he cited numerous complaints from county property owners who have had trash thrown directly on their property or who have streams that wash the trash into their land. Particular dumping problems, he added, exist in the southwest part of Lamar County. And, Nichols said he knows one small contractor who dumps trash on his own land without ever covering any of it.

Nichols also added that he is surprised that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not gotten involved in the Lamar County situation, especially due to the stream pollution that now exists and the drift that is finding its way to surrounding counties. Describing the present garbage collection situation as much of an emotional issue," Nichols said, "we're going to have to do something sooner or later." 31 Fire Calls Made During May The Paris Fire Department answered 31 calls during May, with a total of $500 worth of estimated fire damage reported during the month, all to commercial buildings, according to a PFD monthly report compiled by Fire Marshal Oswald Guilliams.

Fire Marshal Guilliams made 27 fire prevention inspections; received nine fire complaints; found nine violations and had seven corrected.

On July 12, he was also scheduled for a preliminary hearing involving the larceny of domestic animals from a Charles Lour a nee.

He had been arrested by Hunt County authorities some three weeks ago in connection with the theft and was returned to Wilburton.

He said Oklahoma state and FBI were also now involved in the investigation. In December 1974, Delta County charges against Waybourn were dismissed in a habeas corpus hearing in Cooper, presided over by Brim, in which Waybourn's attorney had filed proceedings contending that Waybourn had been brought into Texas against this will by Delta County bondsman Bledsoe, 70, accompanied by off-duty Delta County Deputy Sheriff Joe Maynard. At the time, District Attorney Jack Neal, against whom Brim is also seeking a court of inquiry for allegations of impropriety of office, moved for dismissal of a burglary charge, a theft over $50 charge and on charge of attempted jail break against Waybourn on the grounds that complaints against him were found to bear dates subsequent to the dates on warrants for the man's arrest.

Officials were unable to find the original short-term complaints during the hearing.

The Paris JIMM 11A Jamboree Draws 3,500 at Denton Special to The News DENTON Interrupted by rain just before 7 p.m. Saturday, Henry Burress's Country Jam at Shady Oaks Ranch near Aubrey nonetheless went strongly into the night with only a few of the audience leaving.

A NEIGHBOR, however, sporting a full beard, visited the Snitker home one afternoon, Mrs. Snitker says, soon after Benji moved in. "Benji was fascinated by the beard," she says. "He started digging into the man's face, making a clicking sound like he was looking for honey." The Snitkers, who now have a menagerie at their Broadway farm of some 10 cats, seven horses, a bobcat, several chickens, geese and cattle, began accumulating animals as a favor to the Lamar County Humane Association, giving the animals a home until permanent homes could be found for them.

"I've just always admired bears," Mrs. Snitker says. "I've always wanted one. Now I've got one." She's also always wanted a cougar. She intends to get one next year, she says.
