GARBAGE-1-
11A11 WALKS.
Attorney Arthur Bishop files a petition in the Dallas district clerk's office seeking an injunction which will keep the city from putting a new ordinance into effect as scheduler at midnight. Bishop represents a group known as Downtown Businessmens Association which numbers 127 firms. They oppose a council order directing garbage pickup times to be limited to the early-morning hours; the council said the garbage cans were unsightly on downtown sidewalks. Bishop asks 116th district court judge Davenport for a tem orary restraining order. Judge Davenport sets a hearing on the injunction
for konday.
The 127 complainants say the council
takes away their property rights by not allowing garbage to be put out before 4:30 in the morning; And that it's unconstitutional to make a man get up that early to set out his garbage. ###
