T he meeting, in general, wasn’t very enlightening. Re* presentatives oif th e Wilbur Chocolate Company, the -Morgan Paper Mill and thè Animal Trap Company of America gave brief accounts of what -took place in th e ir respective p la n t’s sanitary systems. In all cases, these were defensive accounts and contributed little toward solving any problems. Our committee got th e overall impression th a t no one actually understands 'their respective -systems. The answers, “ I ’m not su re ,” or “ 1 don’t -know” were heard most! frequently when a questioa (Continued on page 3) NEW STKil’ER: Borough employes are shown using the new striping machine, painting white lines a t the square.

T he meeting, in general, wasn’t very enlightening. Re* presentatives oif th e Wilbur Chocolate Company, the -Morgan Paper Mill and thè Animal Trap Company of America gave brief accounts of what -took place in th e ir respective p la n t’s sanitary systems.

Our committee got th e overall impression th a t no one actually understands 'their respective -systems. The answers, “ I ’m not su re ,” or “ 1 don’t -know” were heard most! frequently when a questioa (Continued on page 3) NEW STKil’ER: Borough employes are shown using the new striping machine, painting white lines a t the square.
