of fire services. He stated that there seemed to be two (2) issues;:namely, the
possibility of providing fire services on a consolidated basis by priviate enterprise,
or consolidation of fire services under public auspices. It was his recommendation

To Mar Winegar, "best damn City Manager Pasco, Washington ever had"
P.S. I know that Alaska's solid waste commonly known as "garbage"
will be in good hands. Always remember Ordinance No. 1616, amending
Section 11 of Ordinance No. 1537. As our disposal areas are filling
up fast-, could you please remove all cores to Alaska. However, remember
that this will put you in the position of distributing solid waste at the
Interstate Level, so abide by all ICC Regulations -- I would be glad to
advise you on this matter if necessary." Warmest personal regards,
Paul Lawrence, Director of National Apartment Association.
