Specifications for the three vehicles will be modified to accept alternative engine types and unleaded or diesel gas powered vehicles. The original recommendation was based on the logic that General Motors was unable to provide the type of truck required to run on regular gas which is the stock fuel stored at town depots. "nb ' The cost involved to equip town depots with alternative type fuels was prohibitive, stated a public works report,. V Despite the latest recommendation which was encouraged by town council, public works director Ron Dupuis pointed out that slightly higher operating costs and inconvenience may occur should vehicles which run on unleaded fuel be purchased. It was also noted, however, that the saving to be realized in the purchase price of General Motors vehicles might offset the higher operating expenses. Council, from the beginning, was unable to support a recommendation which turned its back on the car company which provides employment for many Town of Newcastle residents.
