About 50 people turned out
to the meeting on the Limlaw
Landfill Thursday evening in
the Academy Auditorium. Mr.
Marsh showed a map of
Plainfield in the preliminary
stages and gave a description
of it. The people on route 25
gave their reasons for not
wanting the landfill located
there. Mr. McGreevy from
Soil Conservation, and Don
Welch from the water board
also spoke. As the Bradford
water supply comes from the
Waits River it could con-
taminate this, as well as the
wells of Ordway and Bedell's,
which takes care of three
residences. Miss Beresford,
Mr. Wood and Mr. Young
decided to postpone their
answer until July 22 at which
time there will be another
meeting.
Questions of noise, more
traffic, whether it can be
considered a small business
enterprise must be con-
sidereal. People there were
asked to put in writing their
pros and cons and mail to Miss
Beresford before July 22 so
they could have them for
reference. The voters of
Bradford have already voted
to stay with Mr. Colbeth in
Newbury on a year basis.

About 50 people turned out
to the meeting on the Limlaw
Landfill Thursday evening in
the Academy Auditorium. Mr.
Marsh showed a map of
Plainfield in the preliminary
stages and gave a description
of it. The people on route 25
gave their reasons for not
wanting the landfill located
there. Mr. McGreevy from
Soil Conservation, and Don
Welch from the water board
also spoke. As the Bradford
water supply comes from the
Waits River it could con-
taminate this, as well as the
wells of Ordway and Bedell's,
which takes care of three
residences. Miss Beresford,
Mr. Wood and Mr. Young
decided to postpone their
answer until July 22 at which
time there will be another
meeting.
Questions of noise, more
traffic, whether it can be
considered a small business
enterprise must be con-
sidereal. People there were
asked to put in writing their
pros and cons and mail to Miss
Beresford before July 22 so
they could have them for
reference. The voters of
Bradford have already voted
to stay with Mr. Colbeth in
Newbury on a year basis.
