GRIFFITH An agreement between Griffith and the American Chemical Service may add 10 to 15 acres to the town's diminishing garbage dumping area.

Budd Farris, town trustee, said a possible land-trade agreement was discussed between town and company officials at a meeting this week. American Chemical, he said, has offered up to 15 acres, with an option for more, adjacent to the town's present dump site on south Colfax Avenue. The tentative agreement awaits fin-alization between Griffith and the company's attorney. Farris said "the has come" for Griffith to think about adding more land to its sanitary landfill operation. The town first started dumping in the Colfax area when it purchased 6.1 acres in February, 1943.

The site was expanded in 1961 with the addition of 4.81 acres. THE LAND has been used strictly for sanitary landfill with town trucks mining the site, filling it with garbage and then covering the garbage. Farris estimated two-thirds of the town's dumping area has been filled. He said Griffith could possibly trade the filled-in area for new land from the company. "If we don't start thinking about it now," he said, "all the land will be gobbled up." American Chemical Service, on S.

Colfax, also has been working closely with town officials on a two-year project to correct pollution of nearby Turkey Creek. COMPANY PRESIDENT George Murphy said Tuesday the company will "just meet" its Dec. 31 water pollution control deadline. Two years ago state water pollution officials and the company developed guidelines for an anti-pollution system, setting the December deadline. The company has reported periodically to the town on the system's progress.
