00:00:00,682 --> 00:00:01,890
STAN L. BROOKS: Good morning.

3
00:00:01,890 --> 00:00:05,390
It's 42 degrees at 10:30 on
this Thursday, October 15.

4
00:00:05,390 --> 00:00:08,150
I'm Stan L. Brooks, and
here's what's happening.

5
00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:10,340
It's day 18 of the
garbage strike.

6
00:00:10,340 --> 00:00:13,320
With 10,000 tons of garbage
piling up every day,

7
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,500
even the nicest sections of the
city are looking like slums.

8
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:18,110
Health Commissioner
Edward O'Rourke

9
00:00:18,110 --> 00:00:20,180
is declaring a citywide
state of emergency

10
00:00:20,180 --> 00:00:22,020
for the first time in decades.

11
00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:23,687
EDWARD O'ROURKE:
There's no need to wait

12
00:00:23,687 --> 00:00:26,040
until somebody dies or comes
down with typhoid fever.

13
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,415
It's already a
serious situation.

14
00:00:27,415 --> 00:00:28,873
STAN L. BROOKS:
It's something that

15
00:00:28,873 --> 00:00:31,640
affects almost everyone in the
city, no matter who they are

16
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:32,790
or where they live.

17
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:34,760
MAN: You can't go down
no-- no one avenue

18
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,905
without seeing nothing
but garbage and rats.

19
00:00:36,905 --> 00:00:38,780
MAN: It's starting to
affect my business when

20
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:40,863
customers can't get in
here because of the garbage

21
00:00:40,863 --> 00:00:41,520
situation.

22
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,380
WOMAN: I'm not out
there alone to smell it.

23
00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:45,540
But I think to look
at it, it's terrible.

24
00:00:45,540 --> 00:00:48,930
MAN: It don't affect me except
for the very bad smell here.

25
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:49,868
It's horrific.

26
00:00:49,868 --> 00:00:50,660
WOMAN: It's a mess.

27
00:00:50,660 --> 00:00:52,610
I've been in this
country for 50 years,

28
00:00:52,610 --> 00:00:54,360
and I've never seen
anything like it.

29
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,000
What is this world coming to?

30
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,350
MAN: Put them in a
room, let them sit there

31
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:58,850
and talk till they
get it over with.

32
00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:01,348
24 hours, 48 hours,
how long it takes.

33
00:01:01,348 --> 00:01:03,890
MAN: The idea of the National
Guard moving in and cleaning up

34
00:01:03,890 --> 00:01:04,723
is a good idea.

35
00:01:04,723 --> 00:01:06,890
STAN L. BROOKS: In other
news, the building industry

36
00:01:06,890 --> 00:01:09,920
and landlords today expressed
concern over the latest increase

37
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,400
in heating oil prices.

38
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,760
Renters in the metro area are
certain to feel the pinch.
