'~ 4t31 :I ~"._"__'_' ,._. _'r""___. . ----,-, . 10 COMMUNICATION FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT - RE: WAS SUBMITTED AND READ AS FOLLOWS: USE OF 50 GALLON OIL DRUMS FOR INCINERATORS T I "THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO OUR CONVERSATION ABOUT 50 GALLON OIL DRUMS BEING USED AS INCINERATORS BY VARIOUS PEOPLES IN THE CITY OF EUGENE. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS WE HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SO~CALL INCINERATORS FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: I. SMOKE DRIFTING INTO DWELLINGS. 2. BAD ODORS EITHER FROM ROTTING GARBAGE OR FROM BURNING OF CERTAIN MATERIALS. 3. USE OF THESE OPEN DRUMS FOR STORING GARBAGE. 4. TRASH AND GARBAGE LITTERING THE AREA,AROUND THE DRUMS (INCINERATORS) 5. UNSIGHTLINESS. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF RODENT CONTROL, ANY GARBAGE STORED IN OR AROUND THESE SO- CALLED INCINERATORS IS A SOURCE OF FOOD FOR RATS AND MICE. OLD PAPERS AND OTHER TRASH SCATTERED AROUND ON THE GROUND FURNISH IDEAL HARBORS FOR RATS AND MICE. THESE CONDITIONS OCCUR BOTH WHEN THE WEATHER IS TOO WET FOR GOOD BURNING, AND WHEN IT IS TOO DRY FOR SAFE BURNING. I As I STATED TO YOUR DURING OUR RECENT CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS MATTER, I FEEL THAT THE BEST SOLUTION IS TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF OPEN TYPE INCINERATORS IN THE CITY OF EUGENE. I AM ENCLOSING A FEW PICTURES TAKEN IN RECENT MONTHS TO ILLUSTRATE THE FLAGRANT USE OF 50 GALLON OIL DRUM INCINERATORS."
