DUMP QUESTION OF GREAT ll\1PORTANCE Because of the seriousness of the vote facing the citi­

zens of Milo next week, we are overlooking our usual policy on Open Letters and beginning them on the front page. They will be continued on page three,

DERBY POST OFFICE SURVEY Due to skyrocketing building maintenance costs, and the

condition of the building, the Derby Post Office is considering vacating its present location in the near future. The purpose of this survey is to find out what residents would prefer as a replacement to the post office in its present location. Please answer the following and return the completed form to the Milo Town Office or the Derby Post Office. Thank you for your assistance.

A. To relocate the Derby Post Office in an existing building or new building in Derby.

B. To close the Derby Post Office and use the post office in Milo.

C. City delivery would be preferable.

If you have any questions please contact Dale Green at the town office (943-2202 or 943-2376). An early reply would be appreciated. We thank you for your cooperation and support.

FRIENDS OF HOSPITAL MARCH ON BLUE CROSS Friends of Milo Community Hospital demonstrated in front

of Maine Blue Cross and Blue Shield headquarters in Portlanc during the noon hour on August 22. In spite of high winds anc threatening rain, a total of 17 citizens marched and carrie( posters of protest against Blue Cross' withdrawal of in-patient coverage at Milo Hospital.

To the Editor:

. If we go with Mr. Robinson's plan for a 9- month period, he doing the landfill for us, we still have the responsibility of the dump and the expense if he decides it is not the "job" he wants to undertake,

We have been offered a good system on the truck-away plan- the money sounds like a large amount, but check the in­formational sheets that will be available on the three plans, and in the long run, ·truck away is the most beneficial.

If we go the t ... ·uck-away route, our problems should be well taken care of as a contract will be drawn up and an agree­ment between the truck-away company and the Town of Milo. We still have the opportunity, if the truck away is not satis­factory to the Town, to go to landfill or another route, as long as approval is given to us by the great DEP and the EPA.

The almigbtyDEP and EPA cannot give assurance that the landfill is the proper answer. The present landfill site would not last anymore than 4- 7 years, so we were told. They have been "hounding" Milo for a long time about landfill, yet down near Ogunquit, Maine, .open-dump burning still goes on pollut­ing with smoke rolling ·across the Malne Turnpike. Yet our dump, out of the way - not too many complaints from the town's people - has to go the State and Federal way of spending all kinds of money for equipment, time, etc. for no guarantee of a lasting program.

One other thing, rats have started to appear on Prospect st. which gives a very uncomfortable feeling. Some are mov­ing from the dump site to Park st. and Prospect st. , where ever else, I do not know or haven't beard about them. This

- has only been since the present landfill project. Don't forget Monday, August 29, to go to the polls and

vote - no matter which way you feel the Town should go on the dump situation- your vote surely counts.

MILO 'IO VOTE ON ALTERNATIVE 'IO OPEN BUR:l\"'NG DUMP

The Town of Milo will be holding an all-day written ballo1 vote on Monday, August 29, 10 a. m. to 7 p, m. at the Mile Town Hall. The vote will deal wlth articles offering solid waste disposal alternatives at the present dump location which has been in operation for over 40 years.

The ballot will contain three items to choose from as al­ternatives to the dump. The first alternative is for the town to operate the dump as a landfill site. The second alternative is for the town to contract with Tom Sawyer, Inc. to truck away the garbage to a landfill site in Hampden. The third al­ternative is for the town to contract with Gary Robinson on his offer to operate the present dump site as a landfill.

On all three alternatives, the voters will have a yes or no choice. Voters can vote no on all three alternatives, they can vote yes on one and no on the other two, or they can simply vote yes on one and leave the others blank. If voters vote yes on more than one alternative, their ballot will be disqualified.

According to the Town Manager Dale Green, a lot of con­fusion has arisen on the dump issue. Green noted that none of the alternatives to the present dump will have to be permanently implemented if it is agreed next year that another change should be made. Green also addressed himself to a frequent ques­tion as to whether choosing the truck away system would mean losing the present dump as a future landfill site. Green in­dicated, "we have it in writing from PeputyDepartment ofEn­vironmental Protection Commissioner Henry Warren that if the town adopts the truck-away system and wants to abandon it in favor of a local landfill next year, that the present dump site _can be used for that landfill." Green stressed the point in ·maintaining that none of the alternatives necessarily means a loss of local control.

OPEN LETTER

Dear Citizens of Milo; On Monday August 29th you will be asked to vote on one of three articles to provide for

Solid Waste Disposal in the Town of Mllo. Below you will find a comparison of t he two main articles, as I see them-- 1) Truck-Away System - 2) Milo Landfill Operation. The third article is the proposal from Mr. Robinson which has not been included for the following reasons:

A) At this time his proposal is only for a trial period (short term) and the other two are long term, therefore, I cannot accurately compare them.

B) The legal aspects of a contract have not been negotiated between the Town and Mr. Robins on.

C) If other towns decide to come in to landfill with Milo under Mr. Robinson's pro­posal, we would have to re-negotiate the price, under Milo landfill operation there is no change in cost to citizens, except that it will be lower.

D) If Mr. Robinson's proposal is accepted by the voters , the possibility exists that we · may have to go through this whole thing again, next March. As far as I'm concerned we have been on this issue too long and I would very much like to see this vote resolve this problem for the next five or six years, or until something better comes along.

COMPARISON OF TWO ARTICLES ON BALLOT

Advantage Cleanest system Least cost first full year Least cost 5 year period Provide most local employment

Contributes most to local sales ·and/or services

Provide most equity in system at end of 5 year period

Provide most local control Provides the greatest potential

for control of inflation Can accomodate added volume

from new industry or new homes more economically

Can accotnodate other towns in area and thereby reduce the estimated costs to the citizens of Milo

Easiest conversion to Struchte­myer plan or some other plan at later date. (Struchtemeyer plan combination of recycling, spreading and limited landfill.)

THE TOWN CiiiER ' THE TOWN CRIER. August 25 , 1977

Based on the preceding comparison, based on what I feel will be the overall lowest cost to you, the taxpayer, and based on the estimated life of the present site by the State De­partment of Environmental Protection Agency of four (4) to six (6) years for a population of 5, 000 (Milo populatio-.1 ly 2700), I - tully supporting the Concept of the Milo Landfill Operation. It should oted at this j:.-Jtthat the estimated life of the site is based on the guidelines set up for operation of the landfill being followed to the letter by the responsible towr. emplo)ees, as I have every reason to believe they would, if we provide the proper equipment and direction. In the pas~ they have always performed exceedingly well, and sometimes under very adverse circumstances.

\\'bile I'm aware that the landfill operation is not as clean as the Truck-Away system and that you may from time to time encounter more operation problems in the landfill sys­tem then in the truck- away system, I still feel the overall advantages of the Landfill far exceed that of the Truck- Away System, and is well worth any problems you may or may not encounter.

Ko\\ there has been some discussion on the possibility that a year or two down the road you may \\'ant to go to another system or Truck- Away and then you would be stuck with a big e:ll.-pensive piece of equipment. .1\ow I do not see that as a problem because 1) you would sell the bulldozer on the ope n tnhket and because of the low hours on the machine and be­cause tbe price of this type of equipment is constantly increasing, it should bring a healthy price. 2) The interest on the loan should be prorated. 3) Any equity you realized, no matter ho\\ little, would only serve to lower the cost as versus the truck- away system and this is e\en if no other towns ar e involved.

While I may be supporting the concept of the Milo Landfill operation, I am not in any way asking you to vote for it. As a citizen and a taxpayer who is paying the bill, you should vote on "'hat you would like to see, and for what you believe is in the best interest of your To\\n.

Ho\\ever, I would request that because of the cost of this item and its importance to the future of Milo that you consider voting on the issue as you see fit, on Monday, August 29th. The Poll,; will be open from 10:00 a . m. to 7:00p. m.

Sincerely yours, Robert T. Zozus

P . S. While I d id not feel I could compare or support Mr. Robinson's proposal at this time, I believe he should.be complimented on his public spirit and on his efforts to provide us \\ ith another r ' ion for the solt:t ten of our problem.

l compare or support Mr. Robinson's proposal at this time, nplimented on his public spirit and on his efforts to provide the soh•'~ '1 of our problem.

THE MILO DUMP Once again the Feeeral and State Bureaucracy i~. trying to

take away your ability to control your own town. With Fed­e.-a! and State legislation they have squeezed Milo and a few othex: towns in Maine to stop burning their refuse at the dump

Again the State Bureaucracy have all the answers to all of Milo's State imposed problems. We did not have these giant expensive problems until the State stuck their nose in.

Next week all the residents of Milo will have a chance to vote on one of three plans for the future of our dump.

The Easiest way out is to have Mr. Sawyer truck away our garbage. -However, this way would insure the town that it would lose control of the dump and we would be forced to pay whatever charge was im:posed on us inthe futu.;.·e. The town would be at the merclee of outside contractors who could charge whatever they wanted.

A second plan submitted by Gary Robinson would give Gary complete cont rol and responsibility for the maintenance of your dump.

I believe Gary's proposal is sincere and he truly wanted to • operate the dump in a fair and equitable manner both for the town and himself, However, I do not believe a private contrac­tor will be able to fight future Federal and State regulations that the bureaucrats are dreaming up.

The Third plan is to have the town continue to run its own dump. I truly believe our public works department with Spike Burton in control can properly operate our dump. This plan gives the Town complete control of their sump and wlll insure us in Milo of a future dump site. It also insures us of the low­est possible cost because we will be still in control and not at

. the mercies of a private contractor who must make a profit to stay in business.

Over the next five years the estimated cost of the three plans · are about equal. But wnat happens after that??? If we control our own dump we can assure ourselves of the lowest possible cost and stlll maintain home rule.

Please vote for the plan that assures the town pf MLlo com­plete control of thair dump.

Daniel Bavelaar

EDI'IOR'S .1\0TE: I wish to thank the four people who took the time to prepare

their letters for circulation in The Town Crier. And for what it i s worth, I agree with those who feel that a Town controlled land fill is best for the for seeable future. ( Who knows what Government regulations wlll be forthcoming). ·

What did stand out to me was that of the four who took time to write, not one is a Milo native. I'm wondering why.

Several possibilities come to mind: 1. Local people have so little confidence in their opinions

that they hesitate to express them. 2. Local people care so llttle that they have no opinions. 3. Local people feel that only those who come from out­

side have enough bra ins· to run the town. What I have to say to those MUo natives who are continu­

ally griping on the fact that so much of our affairs are now in the control of "outsiders", is that this is just the type of issue on which the natives should speak up and they should stand up and be counted on this dump issue.

THE TOWN CRIER

Falling Merchandise As Grace pulled a six-pack of

ginger ale from a market shelf, another pack slipped out and crashed on her toes. Painfully bruised, she aimed a damage suit at the management. But in court the company denied liability.

"She was the last one to touch that stack," the manager pointed out, "so she brought her troubles on herself."

But evidence showed that the cartons bad been set up at an un­stable angle. This was enough, ruled the court, to place legal liability on the market. The court sJl,id a store should build its

>lays sturdily enough to with­'- _.;d a reasonable amount of '"l'IIIbdling by the public.

Falling bottles and cans have led to a substantial number of lawsuits. Generally speaking, the claimants are successful if they can pin a negligence label on the market.

In another case a shopper touched off a cascade of canned goods when her shopping cart caught the edge of a display in the middle of an aisle. Again, in a court hearing. the company tried to blame the victim.

But again tho court ruled in her favor. The judge noted that the display was so wide, it left only 30 inches of aisle to accommodate 18-inch carts.

"It should have been readily foreseeable," said the judge, "that shoppers. using carts which are not always easily maneuverable, might risk contacting the display and disturbing its balance."

But in another case, an aisle display left more than four feet of room on either side. A youngster who tripped and fell against the display was unable, in a later lawsuit, to win damages for having been struck by falling merchandise.

The court said that not only was the display proper but also it had been subjected to an unex­pectable kind of impact.

"It was plaintiff's tripping and abnonnal contact with the stack

- of cases," said the court, "that ·a used them to fall."
