The big compactor truck receives the trash, garbage, ashes and refuse of all kinds, and hydraulically squeezes them into the huge steel bin. One man drives while two others empty containers into a conveniently low hopper. When the two men who ride a step in the back of the truck want the driver to move the truck forward, they have a button they press which rings a bell in the cab. Supervisor Kaylor said last week that he badly needs the extra man off the garbage truck to do other borough work. Since Florin has been an- nexed, the time necessary for collecting garbage and trash has been lengthened and Kylor has found that the normal spring work -—— grass mowing, street patching, etc. —all take time which his crew has found hard to squeeze into the schedule.
