Although there were many items of note discussed at this sesâ€" sion, perhaps the most interesting from many angles was Commisâ€" sioner Sharp‘s announcement that the committee on the location of the new incinerator would undoubtedly be ready to make its formal report on recommendations to the council at next Monday‘s meeting. Interâ€" ested parties will undoubtedly be out in force at this session to see that "Nell is done right by." Howâ€" ever, to allay the fears of some of our citizens who expect to awake some morning and find a refuse creâ€" matorium rising in their midst, let it again be repeated in this colâ€" umn that if the committee‘s recomâ€" mendations are followed as far as the site is concerned, there will be little reason to raise a fuss. Most of the pro and con discussion is exâ€" pected to arise out of other phases of the garbage question. Needless to say, if anyone wants to get a seat at next Monday eveâ€" ning‘s meeting he better get there early. _ Under ordinary cireumâ€" stances, the subject of garbage might not have the box office appeal of John Barrymore, but as far as Highland Park is concerned it is one of the few subjects that will invariâ€" ably bring out the "Standing Room Only" sign at the council sessions. Shortly after the opening of Monâ€" day evening‘s meeting, Mayor Ronan announced the appointment of the Rev. Christoph Keller to succeed the late Michae! F.
