red. These will be publicized

them properly. The Land Fill

which are not available at the
present time, will be required
for a full-time officer, although
the Council has increased funds
for beautification this year.
Concerning the sanitation and
disposal of dairy and livestock
operations, Mr. Busby said Dr.
Charles Webb met with Clem-
son Agricultural leaders and
plans are being made to pro
vide proper disposal facilities
for these operations.
