not in good conscience vote for a contract whose terms are as vague as in this
letter, namely, which would be $1.80 per unit per month without a guarantee if it
would be for one week, one day or one month, and risk the loss of the dump site.
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.
