Dumpsters
To the Editor:
At the monthly meeting of the Board of Supervisors held on 4 March, 1996, I requested that the Board reconsider its dumpster closing. Unfortunately, this meeting was held at 2 p.m. on a week day so that many people were prevented by their employment from attending.
Of those who were able to attend, several spoke against this closing. Only Mr. Newbill Miller appeared to be in favor thereof. Mr. Miller’s long and outstanding service to the county entitles his views to great respect.
However, the crux of this approval appeared to be that we should close same because of toxic wastes leaching out of the dumpsters and liability. Traditionally, raising the scare specter of liability, is a standard argument against anything. Mr. Miller cited no facts in support of this position. If we accept this theory, then we dismiss completely the thought of these wastes being dumped indiscriminately on our highways and bi-ways with attendant leaching. Does that mean that there would be no run-off from the highways or from private dumps. Mr. Miller raises the specter of the county’s liability. He didn’t say from what and obviously he cited no facts in support of this proposition.
I submit we can speculate on all types of scenarios as reason to thwart the aspirations and desires of the citi-. zenry, or to cause great inconvenience
