At the same time, Green agreed to keep his loads covered to hold loss from his truck to a minimum. He said that he had been covering loads whenever there is any wind, but agreed to cover all loads henceforth. City Superintendent, Vic Gro shens and councilmen agreed that the city lost control of the dump by allowing the public access to it at times when there is no supervision. Loads of pa pers often have been dumped in the open pit and winds catch them and carry them over the countryside. Others have emp tied loads into incinerators and ignite them. Paper cannot escape from here, but when Green ar rives with his loads he cannot get into the hot incinerators. Some contractors, in the pro cess of wrecking buildings, have hauled waste materials to the lump, and not knowing where it should be placed, have unloaded it where, it is a nuisance. It was pointed out at the spec ial meeting that supervision on the week-end afternoons, when free dumping is allowed, has not been satisfactory, and a new employee will be hired in order to work more cooperatively with the public but yet assure a tight er control. Bert Corbin, who has rented land on the south and west sides of the dump, also appeared and said that he is mainly concern ed with the fire hazard. The city agreed to remove grass on its property that might ignite and run to adjacent lands.
