|
| 4 | | Section 1. Public policy. It is hereby declared that wood |
| 5 | | chips, mulch, and other products generated in the act of tree |
| 6 | | maintenance by a township road district are waste products of |
| 7 | | no value to the district. It is further declared that the |
| 8 | | distribution of the wood chips, mulch, and other products to |
| 9 | | residents of the district is of public benefit, maintenance of |
| 10 | | a healthful environment, and reduces costs by eliminating the |
| 11 | | need to pay for the hauling and disposal of the products. It is |
| 12 | | further recognized that the distribution and delivery of the |
| 13 | | wood chips, mulch, and other products to residents of the |
| 14 | | district is a long-standing tradition in certain parts of this |
| 15 | | State with a minimum fiscal impact. It is further declared that |
| 16 | | this traditional service is salutary, as long as it is provided |
| 17 | | without prejudice or favor to any particular person or |
| 18 | | interest.
|

| 20 | | Section 6-132 as follows:
|
