Equipment is normally being worked on as early as August in preparation for leaf pickup; now, the end of October is much too late. The personnel needed, beyond the regular hourly personnel, would be part time and overtime workers at a cost of approximately $35,000. One of the options discussed was the raking and bagging of leaves by scouts working toward their Citizenship Badges as well as resti- tution students; Department of Human Resources is compiling a list. The dis- continuation of the Leaf Pickup Program was a decision..made b.y_the administration; Mayor quoted Yul Brynner's remark, "let it be written and let it be done". i
