Page 38. Annual To u Meeting ® Mashpee Monday March S, 1973 <br /> Article 23 Continued: Mr. Freeman Speaking: <br /> You have a low number of people living here per square mile. You <br /> will have a lame income from a small investment. It will be 20% <br /> of the To ' s economy and when the thing is all through there (; <br /> will be no dump just a beautiful park, a play ground. There are <br /> over 3,000 of these plants in operation. There are thirty-five in <br /> Great Britain. We also have a number in America. If you don't <br /> want it we have other places® <br /> Mrs. Amelia Miller: Would this Proposition go through and <br /> would the acceptance of this Art .c,le be guaranteed that there <br /> be no deal if the people were not satified? <br /> K. O'Connell: We most certainly would not go through with <br /> the deal unless you want it. <br /> Further questions and answers ensued such as: Whether or not <br /> some of the additional property that would have to be bought was <br /> a part of Old Meeting House Grounds set aside for burial purposes. <br /> The answers seem to be that as things stood now there did not seem <br /> to be any great difficulty about the acqusition by purchase <br /> or otherwise the needed extra cars but that this could all b <br /> gone into later and it was very certain that nothing would be done <br /> that would not be acceptable, or satisfactory. <br /> From the floor: Why do we have to take a ten year commitment? <br /> O'Connell : This is for ammortization of the company' s <br /> investment. It will thke ten years for the company to get back <br /> the money they have to invest. <br /> Mr. Saunders : What about the degree of heat in the top soil? <br /> Mr. Freeman: At 1400 and 170' the moleclar heats up and <br /> you don't need any outside source of heat. The recirculation of <br /> the water is done on a concreto pad. <br /> There was further technical discussion 'here which was not <br /> understood by most of the audience relating to heat, chemical <br /> reactions, etc® , also to noise of operating the plant. Mr. Freeman <br /> f <br /> stated they would not accept such things as autos and things <br /> that could not disposed of readily; however, with most trash o <br /> other kinds there would be "flying hammers" which wotild reduce <br /> the solid waste to small bits which again could be further reduced <br />
