Page 3 . Annual Town Meeting - Mashpee Monday March 5, 1973. <br /> e� <br /> 43 <br /> Article 23 continued: O'Connell speaking: <br /> Y� <br /> The word "disposal" means we are taking disposal from other towns. <br /> However, there will be no residue . There will be no residue from <br /> any other towns buried in the Town of Mashpee . There will be no <br /> land fall operation. There will be composting disposal. Listen, <br /> the Federal Government has come up Vith its own plan and <br /> Massachusetts is still dithering around. The Board of Health will <br /> have to approve. We must go by what we have seen and heard. <br /> Mr. O'Connell here cited the interest of Wally Shearard, the <br /> Astronaut, who said, "no one is going to invest in something <br /> that will not work. " <br /> After a few more words between Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Griffin, <br /> Mr. Griffin wanted to know if there was only one other plant <br /> in the country and we would make a second. <br /> K.D.O'Connell® There is one in Delaware and there will be one <br /> here. <br /> Griffin, Roared No! ! ! ! ! <br /> Ehrismant We have been working on this for a year. Composting <br /> is certainly far superior to both incineration and this land <br /> fill. It will certainly let you have more fresh air. And as for <br /> burying it, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts said there has to be <br /> a better answer. This always poses the possibility of poisins <br /> seeping into the water supply. That is why the Commonwealth o <br /> Massachusetts is coming up with more stringent regulations <br /> each. year. That is why the Town Dump costs $70,000.00. What is this <br /> plant going to look like? It will be very attractive and beautify the <br /> landscape, compare this picture with the picture of our present <br /> dump. This installation will represet $2, 504000.00 invested <br /> in AENCOIS money. Their money, not ours. On top of this there <br /> r <br /> will be the property tax assessment which will bring in much <br /> added revenue to the town. There will be no expense to Mashpee <br /> for their disposal problem and other towns will be paying $6.00 <br /> a ton. It will be a good l oking park, and our area will be odor <br /> free, there will be nn rats. It will be a definite asset. I <br /> K.D.O'Connell read a statement by Alden E. Cousen, to the <br /> i <br /> effect that the State is now preparing a master plan. "We mentioned a <br /> f <br /> i <br /> k <br />
