change and advertising and promotional plant for the year r r 4 acton acton free press acton ont i have taken the liberty of enclosing a letter which i wrote to the bsqueslng council in the hopes you will publish it it concerns the csqueslng dump which has received previous attention in your paper as a source of annoyance to local residents may i suggest that a picture of the entrance to the dump showing the diiguiting filth and litter would draw further attention to the dangerous and revolting condition of this dump vourt truly mrs kent mailman esquesingtwp council r r no 1 georgetown ontario gentlemen with regard to the bsquesing dump i wish to add my written complaint to the several vocal ones i have made to local council and health authorities which seem to have accomplished little it grieves me to think that taxes continually rite and little or no action is being taken to clean up the constant pollution and worst of all the fite hazard that this dump presents last spring a grasjjire spreading from the dump threatened several homes on the 4th concession serious damage was done to the tiees on ours and our neighbours property as our lot is heavily wooded hie fire could easily have spread to destroy our home which is surrounded by trees the only reason it didnt was because of the blood sweat and tears expended by the acton tire department and other volunteers may i ask where the so called keeper of the dump was on that horrible day this is by no means the only instance when the dump was the cause of destructive fires must we wait for someones home to go before anything u done the present location of the dump is on top of a hill any half wit could tee that this is a ridiculous site for any dump a fire lit at the dump spreads with the least amount of wind the danger increases as the dump site is surrounded by grassy hills leading to the homes on the 4th concession councils recent arrangements to bulldoze the garbage over the hillside only adda to the problems garbage can now be teen for miles as anyone who drives south on the third and fourth line has surely noticed the wind across the hill spreads the fires onto the surrounding grass easily the unholy stench emanating from the dump and itt continuous bunting pollutes the entire valley and make outdoor life most unpleasant wind blows the litter for miles around in addition people including many children are constantly picking the dump such activity la pitiful of courts conalrkring the health hazard i am aura it would be better if theee folk went hungry i undetatand the almighty bduamin quinry owns the dump site why not negotiate to move the dump to a safe leu coniplcuous location such as one of the large ugly cratert the quarry it digging just south of the present site in the pail three years that i have lived here i have seen a vast improvement in the acton dump there is absolutely no reason why the tame cannot be done with the fctqueslng dump yours in considerable anger
