Poll "as) Continued on Pm I Other comments from the Boor were along the sum vein es Mr. Tillman's. namely, that a residential neighborhood was no place to put a refuse plant. One patty suggested that the refuse could be used as a fill for the contemplated Highland Park harbor, another suggested in a more or les- humorous veia that the old City hall property be re- served for this use. Commissioner Sharp’s denial that the Meyer property had been defin- itely selected as the incinerator’s site more or less took the wind out of the soils of the embattled West Park avenue residents and the dia- cuuion from that point on followed the general lines of I pro end eon forum on the operation of a modem refine dirpoul plant. Mayor Ro- nnn pointe dout that in the true]: of the Incinerator committee throughout northern Illinoil end Winona-in my modern Ind inclin- Iive plent- were found adjacent to high clue residentinl property. Among none of the better plant: cited were. W-uwntou, Wisconsin, Keno-In, Wisconsin, Oak Pork end La Grunge.

First to air hie grievance was Arthur Tillman of 616 West Park avenue who stated that it was hie understanding that the E. A. Meyer Construction company property had been selected as the cite for the new incinerator. In no uncertain term, Mr. Tillman outlined the objections of himself and his neighbors to such a project. His first complaint dealt with the subsequent devaluation of nearby property if the incinerator was placed in this locality. Second- ly, he objected to the plant on the grounds that it would provide a breeding place for rate and other vermin. In rehutal, Commissioner Sharp came to the rescue of the council by saying that no dedlnite lo- cation for the incinerator had been selected and that perhaps Mr. Till- man ond others present were con- fuaing the recent bids Med by the B. A, Meyer Construction company and the Highland Park Fuel coin- pany to provide facilities for Bttr- plus dry refuse with the actual ee- leetla- of an incinerator site. It. Sharp stated that it was deAniutr not the thought of either his eo-q mittee nor the council to damage or lessen the value in any way of reei-‘ dential property. He pointed out, however, that a site for the plant must be found within the city's 'll'2) boundary limits. .iiuitrrn-oewaiitrse eva- n-idenu akin; that the council "(ruin from enurtAininz any idea of building the new incin- m on the E.
