ie, by burying it instead of burning.
The Attorney's answer was that $e had not found any asses on the matter, but
it was his opinion that if the Commission felt that burying the garbage was a
better and cheaper way of disposing of it, they should use their discretiaa and
do what they thought best for the people they represented.
