Protest Dump Not Proud Of It Exclaims Alderman
The city council discussed a public works clash over burning garbage at Porters Hill on Medicine Hat Road. Alderman Lorne A Walker backed local residents, criticizing the dump’s appearance and smoke that creates a traffic hazard. The city estimates incineration costs at 125000 to 160000 dollars, while current disposal costs are mainly cleaning up private dumping. City engineers plan to move the dump back into the coulee in two to three weeks, but delays persist as a bulldozer is used elsewhere. The smoke and odor will not be fully eliminated but should lessen.
