Gas Firm Wary of Proposed Landfill Site
Cities Service representatives told Franklin County commissioners that placing a sanitary landfill near three gas pipelines is risky. They suggested pipelines could be relocated but excavation must stay at least 50 feet from lines, potentially limiting about nine of 80 acres. The panel seeks another site as the option on the Rouse bill remains incomplete. A bridge on West Wilson Street was reviewed as its weight limit was reduced to three tons.
