Pages past, July 3: County takes aim at trash dumpers

On this date ...

1962: A warning against persons dumping trash “hither and yon around the county” had been issued by the Curry County Commission.

Commissioners said a crackdown on irresponsible trash dumpers would be initiated immediately and said fines up to $100 could be assessed those who dump trash illegally or destroy public property.

Commissioners also said a drive to stop people from shooting road signs full of holes would soon be started.

Commissioner H.B. Moberly said people destroy their own property when they destroy county or state equipment.
