the opinion to Mr. Bunnell that the
sounded rather ugly, but added
that the plants that are being
built today are not this type. Mr.
Bunnell inquired as to what type
Of plant the borough figured on
building IL. 1t was an open type.
Warden Green stated that no type
had been decided upon. There are
several approved types he stated,
some being underground, some ems
closed In glass and some housed In
substantial buildings. There was
no question In the warden's mind
ne stated but that when the boro-
ugh is ready to build the plant they
will undoubtedly select type that
Is not going to be Objectionable.
The warden recalled to Mr. Bunnelf
that there was a plant In Water
town which OF course had been the
cause of much litigation and a
neighbor had been successful in
every now and then getting judy
mont against the town, but this
plant was not of the type that Is
now being used. The warden said
he felt that the state engineers had
taken all OF this into consideration
when approval OF the location was
given and he felt that they were
not going to approve Of any plan
that would cause objection. This
would also be foolish on the part
Of the borough. Warden Green sug-
gested that some Of the residents
Of this section arrange for trip
to o. modern disposal plant, mem
tioning the Canaan plant In par
ticular. The warden said he would
be glad to arrange such trip IN
order that It might be disclosed
just what modern plant Ia. Mr.
Bunnell stated that he cvould not
see why the borugh should change
plans after buying land and paying
$4,000 for 1t to be used as q dis
posal plant, adding put It over
in the woods, where It belongs"
Warden Gren stated that It was the
belief when the plans were origin
ally made to have the plant on the
Freeman property that the present
property could not be bought for
the purpose. BY establishing the
plant on the east side OF the river
It would mean a saving OF about
$4,000 the warden said as II will
be necessary to establish a pump.
Ing station or a syphon system that
would also mean an added ex-
pense for maintenance.
Mr. Bunneli inquired as to what
the proposed land would cost. The
warden said there swere no definite
figures outside Of that given for the
Hinckley property. Mr. Bunnell
stated that he did not believe that
the property could now be acquired
from the st Francis church corpo-
ration unless they were given O
much larger piece of land In re-
turn. Warden Green informed him
that he had been In conference on
several occasions with the bishop
OF the diocese who has charge of
all church property and in con-
ference with him, the bishop has
even gone so far a. to state that
II no money could be found avail
able that. the site could be had
gratis. Warden Green also stated
that II the plant would be an OBJ
jectionable thing It would not be
expected that the land could be
procured. He cited an instance
whore he said the diocese had a
beautiful seminary in Bloomfield
and that there was O sewerage dis
posal plant right In the front door
Of the seminary, but II would
never be known unless you were
told about II. Warden Green stated
that the borough had made good
buy In the Freeman property re.
gardless OF whether It IL ever used
for the plant. The warden said that
sand, gravel and stone enough
have been taken out Of the property
to already offset the original cost.
In addition the borough had had
the barn on the land repaired and
II is the intention Of using It for
storage purposes. In time Warden
Green said the borough may use
this property oil together for O
borough yard as the property being
used at present Is not owned by
the borough. Mr. Bunnell stated
that he wanted 1t understood that
he was protesting against the plant
being located In Cotton Hollow and
that he would hold the borugh IL
able for any damage. One OF the
residents of the section proposed
that the trip of inspection to plan
be made In the summer time and
not at this time OF the year.
Warden Green again informed
Mr. Bunnell that nothing had been
done about the matter Of a definite
nature, The planning commission
Of the borough who had given much
thought and consideration to the
matter for the past four years had
not been consulted 50 far about the
matter with the exception, Of
that they had with state
engineers on Thursday. Mr. Bunnell
stated he knew nothing could be
done until the freemen SO voted.
Warden Green stated that he
thought the matter would be hand
led through the bond issue as he
was of the belief that the bond act
granted the borough permission to
procure land to carry out the work.
The warden inquired from Boro-
ugh attorney Game relative to this
and the attorney stated that this
matter was considered when the
bond issue was brought up and that
It gave the power to the board to
do whatever is necessary relative
to the construction Of the sewer
and disposal plant.
No garbage collection contract
was awarded at the meeting, after
some discussion the board voted
TO reject all bids and that a COM
mittee of three from the board con-
fer with DR. Baker. health offlcer.
relative to the matter. 1t seemed
10 be the opinion that despite the
TACT that all bills were received
hat change should not he made
n the collector as he has all equip
ment to do the work and the loca-
ion OF his property Is considered
he best of those submitting bids. |
A letter was received from Health |
,fficer Baker to the effect. he visited
he properties Of those bidding for
he garbage contract. Louis Koseo,
one of the bidders stated that DR.
Baker had not visited his place on
Wooster street He thought his
spot was the best one Of them all.
