Scrap Foam Loading At Worth Street Landfill
City council discussed a surge of polyurethane foam scrap from Corry Foam Products Co flowing to the Worth Street landfill. Engineer David Johnson noted March volumes rose from about 1 400 to 2 400 cubic yards, complicating burial and raising stability concerns for daily operator Emmanuel Robertson. Mayor Edward Zarger warned this influx hastens landfill life and challenges the site’s three to five year projection. The prior practice of burning scrap foam was halted by the Erie County Health Department due to dense smoke and air pollution.

Council OKs readvertising for North Hills nine hole project
City council authorized phase two of the North Hills recreation plan beyond the golf course. Readvertising followed bid costs exceeding estimates, with $19,000 in cuts and a $25,000 county pledge over five years. Five-year county funding depends on bids and extra revenue from seasonal passes and greens fees. The Golf Commission projects $125,300 to build the second nine with 1972 operating income of about $54,000 against near $50,000 in expenses. County commissioners Leo Weir Fred Lamm and Bill Jr endorsed the project, pledging $5,000 annually for five years.

Township Denies Bill for Scotts Crossing Lights
Columbus Township officials say they have heard of a $2,600 charge for Scotts Crossing warning lights only from a Journal report and doubt any levy. They argue the expense wasn’t in the budget and would require county help, while Warren County shares most costs with Erie, the railroad, and the Public Utilities Commission. The board also approved a $1,000 payment to Corry over crossing lights and accepted a 10 year no-cost lease from the Pennsylvania Fish Commission for 7.5 acres near the old Columbus dam with township-improvement requirements.
