Dorset endorses Cummings contract over Manchester plan
Dorset selectmen unanimously endorsed a contract to send Dorset residents to the Sunderland landfill owned by Martin J. Cummings, rejecting Manchester’s bid to join the Beattie landfill. The eight year deal begins Jan 1 1975 with annual payments and a four percent escalation, while ensuring licensed operation and required bonds. Two town sisters, Charles Erdman and Theodore Earle, resigned, citing inequities in the Grand List and delayed reappraisal.
