1969: “George W. May, Quay County Sanitarian, reports there is a growing tendency to dump more and more trash and dead animals on the county roads of Quay County. This is a bad habit to form because it is unsanitary and a potential health hazard; besides it is unsightly. May says there are county and state regulations prohibiting dumping of any road right-of-way, and the County Sanitarian suggests that everyone carry their soiled waste to the dump grounds so they can be disposed of properly.”
