The Washington Town Council con-' . sidered a light agenda Dee. 10 before retreating into a lengthy executive session;’ to discuss matters of pending litigation,* • dispersal of public property, and person*-; nel. y
Councilman William Wickens aw* nounced the receipt of a "trash grant*? from the state’s Division of Litter Con-* • trol. “I’m dismayed to tell you, however,**’ he added, "that the amount is not namedi in the grant. They did remember to irt-^ dude, though, pictures of cocktail lounged- - and girls at the swimming pool to remind; us that we can travel to Richmond at puW. lie expense to attend a trash conference." -
No Town Council members were interested in the trip,, which they all agreed was a bad use of public money.
The money is to be used for several 1 new trash receptacles around town. The council agreed to order two wooden containers similar to those already placed in' I town. The consensus was that purchasing them unassembled was the least expen-; | sive way to do it.
