Times photo Program for Trash Pickup in L.A. Offered BY ROBERT BLANCHARD Times Staff Representative SACRAMENTO, March An Assembly committee today offered a three-point program designed to clean up rubbish and garbage collection problems in Los Angeles County, It called for: 1-A re-examination of the administration of refuse collection and disposal directed toward the application of sound business principles in contracts for collection and disposal. Uniform Standards 2-Legislation to provide uniform standards for the negotiation, amendment and termination of contracts by cities comparable to procedures applicable to State contracts so as to secure open, competitive bidding. 3-Legislation to permit the centralization of administration over the collection disposal of refuse for the entire Los Angeles area. The committee's recommendations are the outgrowth of an investigation into rubbish collection problems in Los Angeles in 1955 and 1956 at the request of Mayor Poulson.

In the wake of the hearings the city decided to reclommend a municipal collection program to the people. This proposal will appear on the ballot this spring. In its findings the commit-, tee noted there are 49 cities with approximately 49 different approaches to the collection problem--most of which involve private contracts between private operators and the governmental agencies. Criticism Heard The committee was critical of this "diffusion," (individuals and combinations collectors sought competiItive advantage "through relationships with public officials and each other" to the detriment of the public's interest. It also reported in some public officials administered their authority to make contracts for the collecItion and disposal of refuse in "an unbusinesslike manner" to the detriment of publie interest, Unless centralized auand uniform contract standards are provided, concluded, there is a strong possibility, publie practices, welfare inimical will crop up again.
