~~~‘**a Peébiibility that the new imcinerk~ tor Was not going to be built on the site of the city dump. Commissionâ€" er Sharp stepped out of the counâ€" cil‘s elosed meeting and devoted some ten minutes in allaying the fears of his callers. He pointed out to them as he has to everybody who has brought the subject up that the coyncil has leaned over backwards in protecting property values in the selection of the incinerator site. The fact that any change in the physical setâ€"up of the city dump is bound to be a change for the better was one of the primary factors in selecting this site. As this line of reasoning could not be applied to any other loâ€" cation it logically followed that the city dump was the best possible place for the incinerator to be built. The fact that additional sums will have to be spent on the foundation work at this location has not to date caused the council to deviate from this â€"line of reasoning and unless this writer has "missed the boat" entirely, it will not do so in the fuâ€" ~Admiinistrafton eop_'-rjn_c official business awaiting ‘The City Council held no formal meeting on Monday evening of this week but it did get together in an informal session in an effort to get caught up on the meriad of details It was fortunate for two of the local citizenry who did not know, as reported in these columns last week, that there was to be no meeting this week, that the members of the counâ€" cil were on band to listen to their YOLUME XXX considerably wrought up over headâ€" lines appearing in a Waukegan paper to the effect that due to addâ€" Bangs, June Schlung, Alice Adamâ€" son, Art Flint, Ted Peters, Bob Johnson, Betty Weddell, Milan Cobâ€" ble and Beverly Date, all of whom sre working hard.

When that happy day arrives the council in general and Commissionâ€" er Sharp in particular will breathe one long sight of relief because unâ€" til they actually see the building goâ€" ing up on the city dump site there are still some people in town who expect to get up some fine morning and see the new citadel of refuse rising up in their back yard.
