Dear Editor,
Several years ago around the time when Compton Young was the Mayor of Georgetown a female member of the Consumers Association speaking on one of her radio broadcasts said that Georgetown had moved from Garden City to Garbage City and that “Georgetown literally stinks.”
Decades have passed since then and Georgetown continues to stink. What are we waiting for, for some horrible disease to break out? All over the place there is garbage and more garbage. In Charlestown in the vicinity of where the laundry used to be there is a huge pile of garbage and cows are feeding there; in the vicinity of the museum, on King Street and on Wellington Street there is garbage and more garbage.
If for whatever reason the city council cannot do the job, the President has authority to suspend the council and appoint an interim management committee and supply the necessary funds to get and keep Georgetown clean; it is still our capital city. I want to see the sanitation for which I voted.
Yours faithfully,
W P George
