Landfill A Problem For County Board Whether to build one or three landfills for Marshall county is a problem for the county commissioners. William Harries, Bremen, Second district and chairman of the board, said that the board is trying to ascertain whether it will be economical and feasible for the county to have one landfill or three. He said that the commissioners and other officials plan to go to Abilene in the near future to study how Dickinson county has handled their problem.

"It may be cheaper to build one or it may cost less to build three, and we must think about how far people will have to travel to make use of It," Harries said. Under the present proposal, if the county has one landfill area, it would be located one mile west of Home City. If there are three landfills then It is likely one would be located near the Marysville airport, a second east of Blue rapids near theWinifredroad, and the third four miles from Axtell. The commissioners are seeking the information before they make a decision and then will seek contracts for the cost. Mrs.

Oscar Russell asked the commissioners to oil mat the township road running from the county farm to the St. Gregory's Catholic church corner. Traffic has increased on the road since the road one-half mile north was closed for the airport runway.

Judge Innes ordered Baker to the Kansas Reception and Diagnostic Center, Topcka, for evaluation and report, as soon as space is available. Meanwhile the defendant will be held in the Geary county jail, Junction City, to await final decision. Baker's guilty pleas included those of aggravated battery on Mrs.

Shirley Horner, aggravated battery on Michael Sodd, and an attempted escape from the custody of Richard Erickson, highway patrolman. All three charges were alleged to have occurred last March 16. Baker was represented by Court Appointed Attorney Floyd Sorru Washington, and the state by County Attorney John Elmborg, Blue Rapids. councilman, said he had been approached by citizens, who said they would like to retain the brick. The younger generation wants the asphalt, he explained.

Allred said he had only five telephone calls about the brick to which Wilbur Strand, First ward councilman, quipped, "The rest of us are getting the phone calls." Howard Baker, Third ward councilman, urged repair of the brick, and pointed out that "Bill Orr did a good job on it." Gerald Lake, Third ward councilman, said he wanted to know what more of the citizens in the city thought about covering the brick. "I dnn't think you will get it by resolution," he said. Allred said he got 100 to 1 calls against the airport, but "we got it." Asked to say what he thought, Al Kistner of Hall Brothers Construction company who gave the $36,577 estimate, explained that his firm could do what was suggested. But he said that if the job is done right the curb and gutter must come out, and be replaced. This would cost more money, he said.

Mayor Mert OH then referred the project Iwck to the street and alley committee for recommendation. The city council agreed Monday night to make further study on whether to cover Broadway's brick with asphalt mat. Action was taken by the council after W. B. Allred, Third ward councilman, brought up the subject in which he urged that the city would go forward with installation of a smooth surface.

He said that the brick was old, had carried traffic for many years, and would be easier to maintain if covered. He suggested that Broadway be covered with a two-inch mat from the west of Fourth street to the east side of Thirteenth street. Allred also said that estimated cost of the project was $36,577. All city inhabitants would cover the cost by tax levy. Ernest Lunge, Second ward councilman, said that he had listened to 30 to 1 votes against covering the brick from various constituents recently.

"These people want to preserve the brick," Lange said. Lange said he had been giving the project serious thought and "if we are going to pave Broadway we might as well do the same on North Twelfth, Sixth street and Jenkins to the hospital." John Etherton, First ward District Forty-four civil and two criminal cases are on the docket to be heard by Judge Lewis L. McLaughlin and Judge Ronald Innes during the September term of district court here. The case load is heavier than it was during the April term, when only 37 civil and no criminal cases were pending, but it is lighter than the September docket one year ago when 45 civil and four criminal cases were set to be heard, according to Mrs. Walter Blaser, clerk.
