stations would be established to cut down on traffic in the Town. The City
has agreed to help pay for basically three sites on the periphery of the
City Town Line. It is obvious that where ever we place a transfer station
people are going to be opposed to it. We are aware of this , we must spend
the monies necessary to properly screen and properly construct a facility
that will do the least possible damage to the direct neighborhood.

his property to the Town for $15, 100. 00 f21t that it was unfair to have
