Temporary burning permit for Thomasville landfill
North Carolina issued a temporary permit allowing burning of refuse at the Thomasville landfill until July 1 1971. City Manager Kyle Williams expects only partial use of the permit as burning accounts for about 80 percent of waste and can end when a scraper costing 37 arrives. The dump will then bury more waste and burning by municipalities ends by July 1 1974 due to pollution complaints from nearby property owners. The council also authorized a 22162 dollar Dumpmaster and a 37 dollar scraper to speed garbage collection and disposal.
