 | Hartford, June 22.-Some time since | there was arranged by representatives | of the Mantle and other shore people. the Mantle Menhaden Fish oil and | Guano company and other interests concerned in this subject of the es- | tablishment of a garbage reduction | plant in East Lyme and the conduct | of the business of the fish mill that | a bill should be reported by the com l mittee on public health and safety, at 1 one of whose sessions the arrange ment was made, modification of the | Gadbois bill which would make it pos | sible for the Menhaden company to go on with it's business in it's present plant but not to develop or move to | other parts of East Lyme, Old Lyme | or Waterford. and shut out all garbage plants froW these towns. The Bridge l port By-Products company, which has |, for some time past been making de- termined efforts to get into East Lyme. was not represented in this arr engagement or a party to it.
 When representatives of the latter concern discovered what had been done there was consternation in their camp and they have since been busy. I The result of this activity became known today when it was learned that Representative Bishop of New Haven, a member of the committee, has gone back of the fact that his committee was practically a party to the ar engagement mentioned and has drafted new bill which will make it possi ble for the By-Products company to get into East Lyme under conditions better for it than any which have pre- vailed heretofore, even though the law under which the effort to do this was made last year was drafted by its at torney two years ago.
 The new bill provides that whenever any city shall have decided upon method of garbage disposal by reduc- tion and wishes to establish a garbage reduction plant in some other town, it shall give notice of this and shall have the ma ter heard by a commits sion to consist of the health officer and selectmen of the town into which it is desired to go., When this com mission has rendered a decision any party aggrieyed may appeal to the state board of health which is to on the matter that will be final. The garbage which is carried to any such plant must be so transported in accordance, with all of the laws of the state regarding sanitation and proper receptacles and arrangements and the plant for it's reduction must be equip ped with the latest and best models
 
 sanitary basis, in accordance with the/orders of the state board of health.
 While this bill provides for appeals from the decision of the primary con- mission by any party who may be ag- grieved, and this includes cottagers or anyone else, such bill is highly ob- jectionable to the shore people in those towns, as well as the people of Mantle and other parts of the town of East Lyme, who have been trying so hard to keep this garbage plant out of their town and to keep the fish mill now there, which was such a nuis- ance last summer, within bounds such that 4,s operation will not interfere with the summer trade and the de- velopment of the resorts along that part of the Sound shore.
 The fight over this matter Gromises to be sharp one, and it is likely that the Mantle Menhaden Fish Oil and Guano company will be found ranged alongside the East Lyme people and the cottagers in favor of keeping the garbage plant out under the bill which it's representatives agreed to before the committee and on the basis that the chances of this bills finatlly passing are much better than those of the bill prepared by MT. Bishop so plainly in the interest of the Bridgeport con- cern.
