White OBSERVER: Mrs. Feakes - League of Women Voters Miss Cheryl Waixel - Lexington Minute-Man I . DISCUSSION A. It was the intention of the Committee to discuss with Lincoln P. Cole, Jr. , the progress of any present Bills before the Legislature. It was Mr. Cole 's opinion that the Bill receiving the most favorable action and most likely to be passed with approval was the Bartley Bill. This will move the cherry sheet up to March 1 and provide two tax bills during the 18 month period and a change date of assessment. The Robinson Bill which would allow the school teachers to be paid in July and August rather than in June was briefly discussed with Mr. Cole. He was not sure what the present status of the Bill was but assured the Chairman that he would keep the Committee informed of the progress of the above two Bills. B. ARTICLES 87 & 88 - SANITARY LANDFILL Mrs. Joyce Hals, representative from the League of Women Voters joined the meeting to bring the Committee up-to- date on their plans for a recycling center at the dump. It is their feeling that much too much is being discarded that should be recycled - among these mentioned were : cardboard, newspapers, glass (brown, white , green) , tires, appliances, brush-woods These things will be deposited in a special area set up as a center. It is estimated that the cost of operating the dump in 1973 will be $105,000, as compared to $91,000 in 1972. The daily cost of fill is approximately $150.00 per day. By setting up this recycling center, Mrs. Hals stated that this figure could be cut in half.
