Another Session, 8th Commissioners Tackle Several Problems At Monday's Meeting The Transylvania Board of Commissioners held a special meeting Monday night to be gin wrestling with the prob lems of a sanitary landfill. As of July 1st. State regula tions require that garbage be disposed of according to strict regulations. Because of this, the Commissioners imposed new regulations on the exist ing Pisgah Forest landfill which is now operated solely by the County. Beginning July 14th, the landfill will be closed on Sun days. A fence will be built and only those persons or firms with objects too large to be put into green boxes will be per mitted into the landfill itself. As many green boxes as neces sary will be placed at the en trance of the landfill for the convenience of individuals bringing their trash. The Com missioners also voted to sta tion the Litter Officer at the landfill until users become fa miliar with the new regulations. Arthur McCrary, who has been working at the landfill, said that he and his workers have been bothered by per sons shooting at obiects. To prevent any possibility of in jury. the Commissioners vot ed to prohibit the use of fire arms at the landfill. Starting the week of July 14th, the sanitary landfill will no long er accept stumps or brush. This is very difficult to cov er and those persons and con tractors creating such trash will have to find individuals who are willing to accept stumps to fill in ravines on their private property. The Commissioners were informed that , there are some places in the County that will accept this material. Commissioner Chairman Bill Ives expressed the frustration felt by all the Commissioners in attempting to provide green boxes in the County. After some discussion, the Commissioners voted to provide green boxes in any community that requests them, and the Commissioners will aid the community in ac quiring a site and providing fencing or screening for the green box. The Commissioners will not place any green box un less requested by a communi ty group. The existing green box locations will be maintained and improved as time and mon ey permits. Anyone wishing to discuss the placing of a green box schould call County Man ager Mike Epley at 883-2441. Chairman Ives read a let ter from Sheriff Milford Hub bard requesting salary in creases for four of his depu ties. Commissioner John Fol ger moved that the request be denied on the grounds that the Sheriff had failed to appear at the budget hearings which was the proper time to make such requests. Commissioner Clinton Owen questioned the pay scales in the Sheriff’s epartment and the Chairman replied that these differentials had been requested by Sheriff Hubbard last year. If the Sheriff’s request had been granted, it would have done away with pay differentials for those deputies having du ties other than those of a reg gular deputy. Chairman Ives went on to say —Turn To Page Eight Stores, Offices To Close, Also Banks, Others Transylvanians will join with other Americans in a big Fourth of July on Thursday.
