Grand Jury condemns Staten Island garbage plant
Richmond County Grand Jury condemns the Staten Island Metropolitan By-Products plant as a nuisance while granting a sixty day extension to install abatement equipment. Parents report unbearable odors when winds blow from the facility to Rossville schools. A letter from the Agriculture secretary’s aide notes assurances the nuisance would abate within two months and asks the panel not to act for that period as glycerine production was involved.
