We will lose the sales taxes on the building materials for the plant. Wages for those who will build the facility will be lost. Local men will be trained to run the plant. These jobs too will be lost if it is not built. It is a moral waste shame to bury energy-ric- h beyond use. There is a tremendous amount of energy we could make available, as steam, to Hill Field.

The major cost of garbage disposal is in the gathering and handling. It costs about $60 to handle a ton of garbage. The dumping fee would only run around $9 a ton. 4. The paramount questions are not only the dumping fees and a little increase in transportation costs, there are, closing costs on a filled dump, and monitoring the wet garage dump after it is closed.
