If it were closed down, the Commercial Removal Company would have to find a new dump site at the rate of 1-1/2 cents per mile per unit increase. Very reluctantly I cast a "no" vote, but I cannot in good conscience vote in favor of such a contract, without a guarantee. *Councilman McNamara left the meeting at 9.50 P.
