The Windhoek Municipality reduced the tariffs to R2,20 at the Windhoek City Council"s monthly meeting last night. To reduce the cost involved in removing the refuse, the municipality dccided that the residents group their drums at designated areas of 50 to 100 drums each. The success of this measure will largely depend on the co operation of the squatters themselves, the municipality said. To this effect an agreement had been reached with the squat ters, community workers and the City Health Officer, the munici- pality statement said.
