Page 31w. Annual Town Meeting Mashpee Monday March 5, 1973 <br /> 8 <br /> Article 23 Continued: <br /> I v <br /> f you have any questions, Mr. Freeman will be glad to answer. <br /> From the floor: What benefit would the Town receive money wise f <br /> from this projeet and also tax wise? On what terms would the money <br /> to the Town would be coning in? Is it something like x number of <br /> dollars for x number of tuns that would be put through the machine <br /> or a minimum lease rent or what have you? <br /> K.D.O'Connell spoke again, and assured that this article <br /> simply ascertains whether or not the town was amenable to consider this <br /> type of waste proposal, and no contracts or agreements of any kind <br /> would be entered into until such times as complete proposals contain- <br /> ing full facts and figures ITad been brought before the Town, discussed <br /> at length, and the Townspeople fully understood what the proposals <br /> meant. Then and then only would they be asked to give the Board <br /> authorization to go into further and final agreements with AENCO <br /> and establish such a plant in Mashpee. <br /> Mr. Griffin, asked Mr. Freeman of AENCO how many tons of <br /> trash a day did it take to make this project pay? <br /> Mr. Freeman: Five hundred tons per day. Possibly Sandwich, <br /> Barnstable and Mashpee might be involved. <br /> Mr. Fitzgerald: Is it possible that 100 truck loads of trash <br /> a day would be going over our roads? This would be very destructive. <br /> K.D.O'Connell: There would probably .be transfer stations. <br /> The question was posed to Mr. Freeman; how much does it take <br /> to make it pay? <br /> Mr. Freeman: It would take about 500 tons a day, which could be <br /> collected from the three towns formally mentioned and end up in <br /> Mashpee by way of transfer stations. Only Route 28 in Mashpee <br /> probably would be used by the trucks coming in. j <br /> Mr. Fitzgerald: The 500 tons would still have to go over the <br /> roads to the Mashpee Dump, what with summer traffic and the present <br /> state of our roads etc. this does not seem like a desirable thing to <br /> have happen. <br /> K.D.O'Connell: We do have heavy traffic in the summer time, <br /> but most of the stuff would come from Barnstable and they would be <br /> travelling over not more than two and half miles of Mashpee Roads <br />
