The following letter was presented to the meeting by 8th grade students of St. James Episcopal Church: Fairhope, Ala. May 10, 1971 Mayor Richard C. Macon, Members of the City Council, Fairhope Al. Dear Sirs: We the undersigned are members of a small group who would like to do something important to improve our community. We have all taken part in area clean ups and have signed petitions, but these do not seem to get at the real difficulty. We need some long time, well -planned preventive measures. Whatever you suggest we will be glad to consider. Out main activities will be along the lines of public relations. We can make or distribute posters, talk to other groups, and visit families near where we live. After a good deal of discussion we have decided to present to you the proposal to start, perhaps in a small way, to recycle paper. Here are some reasons: 1. About half the contents of garbage cans is paper. 2. It probably cost the city ten dollars a totU� to collect and bury waste paper, and it takes about three cubic yards of space. 3. The Stone Container Co. of mobile is now paying 50 Cents a hundred pounds for magazines, 60 cents a hundred for newspaper, and 70 cents a hundred for containers. At this rate Fairhope could probably get 12 dollars a ton for miscellaneous paper. 4. This means that Firirhope could probably break even on its paper disposal, at a considerable saving to the tax payer. 5. Most people already have two garbage containers, and many would be willing to put the papers in one and the rest in the other. It would take a good publicity program to get this done. 6. The problem of collecting papers separately, and taking them to Mobile may be difficult to solve, but in several large cities this is now being done. Reports from Madison and Milwaukee,Wis. , indicate that a large part of the cost of removing garbage is covered by their paper saving activities. Respectfully submitted, (Petition signed with approximately 40 names.) It was duly moved and seconded that the meeting adjourn . Motion carried.
