30 The B5stori Globe Wednesday, December 11, 1968 Milton Claims MBTA's Mattapan Proposal Much Too Costly Mattapan Mattapan Escalated Mattapan Revised of extremely doubtful benefit. I will do all I can to defeat this senseless proposal of the MBTA." Milton hopes its paper will be seriously considered before the Special Commission presents its new master plan for the MBTA on Jan. 31. Milton's first attempt to, block construction at Mattapan failed when Judge Frank W. Tomasello dismissed the town's suit from Suffolk Superior Court Sept.

23, 1968. Milton has appealed the case to the higher courts where it is now under and $25 million to build the Mattapan yard, which could be built on another site for less money. The position paper notes the alternate sites listed in the MBTA Engineering Reports, with cost estimates determed by Milton selectmen. They are: Codman Yard 898.300 Codman Yard Revised 2.080,925 South Braintree 2.528.000 Butler St 3.973,000 Butler St. Revised 9.000.000 Savin Hill 4,205.000 Savin Hill Revised 8.000.000 North Quincy 8,068,000 Fort Point Channel 8,000,000 already responded to the Milton paper.

Harrison Chadwick (R-Winchester) stated in a letter to John Cronin: "I believe your position is completely sound and I am with you all the way. Please be assured I will do whatever I can to block this totally unwise project." Joseph E. Brett (D-Quincy) said in a letter to the executive secretary: "I have already stated publicly my opposition to such a move. It would be an unwarranted waste of the taxpayers' money for a project Despite this unfavorable position, the position paper states that the Milton Selec-men have requested a "complete restudy of the proposed Mattapan extension and car barns." The request was made to the Special Commission Relative to the Finances and Operations of the MBTA chaired by Senator James R. Mclntyre (D-Quincy).

Although Sen. Mclntyre was not available for comment yesterday, it was learned that two members of the special commission have M.B.T.A. is to convince the communities in the system that the rapid transit's deficit is already spiraling at a tremendous rate and to complete a project at twice the necessary cost is unreasonable. All but two members of the board (Milton and Randolph) voted to approve the Mattapan extension in February of this year. And trustees of the Kennedy Memorial Library have made it clear that if the Cambridge yards are not vacated by the Spring of 1970, there may be no library at all.

dy Memorial Library has been a continuing source of controversy. It was cause for a suit brought by the town which was later dismissed by the courts. Alternate site proposals for Braintree, Weymouth, and Dorchester (both at Butler st. and Codman sq.) were rejected after local residents protested and when in one case the Legislautre made it impossible to move in. The main criticism set forth in the Milton paper is that it will cost between $15 -w coirs Green Giant rJIushrooms Brand SLICED or WHOLE 2'2 ox.

SUIT Milton selectmen launched their third attack on the MBTA yesterday with a 'position paper, asking the 79 community members of the MBTA Advisory Board to support their claim that the moving of the MBTA storage yards to Mattapan is a "classic example of wasteful investment." The relocation of the Cambridge facility to make way for the John F. Kenne- Gas Line Protest in Needham NEEDHAM The Worcester Gas and Light Co. may be delayed in its race against the weather to get additional pipelines installed, on Greendale avenue. After selectmen approved the installation of new eight-inch lines to supply sufficient pressure fo rto insure several Needham families of heat this Winter, the gas company began putting in the lines last week. Residents now claim the utility has not kept its promise to install the pipes three feet below the surface.

A group of Greendale avenue abutters appeared before Needham selectmen last night demanding that an area adjacent to eight homes on the street be dug up to see whether the pipes are deep enough. In some cases, James Burns, an opponent of the ny had dug only 18 inches. Selectmen pointed out that local ordinances required two feet minimum depth for the laying of pipes. Public Works Supt. Robert McEwen was told by selectmen to tell the company to get the entire area ready for a town inspection to check on the depth of the pipeline in order to satisfy protesting residents.

According to McEwen, the work was being done correctly and a gas company inspector was checking the excavation periodically. Apparently the gas company has had to blast earth while digging for the lines because they ran into ledge in some parts of the area. Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllimilllllllllllllllllllllll Congressmen See No Hijack Solution Soon Inllfd Prtii International WASHINGTON A congressional subcommittee yesterday concluded an investigation into the hijackings of airliners to Cuba with no proposals that would produce a quick solution to the growing problem. The best long-term hope, if Cuba would agree to it, the subcommittee said, was a treaty requiring the extradition of hijackers, placing them "in the hands of u.b. courts for trial.

Members of the House Inter-American Affairs Su-committee, headed by Rep. Armistead Selden expressed hope in a 27-page report that weapon detection systems and other technological devices, using X-rays and radar, could be developed to detect weapons on the persons of passengers as they board planes. "A majority of the hijackers appear to be persons of unstable mentality," the report said. Most were either former Cuban refugees or U.S. citizens attempting to escape from legal or other difficulties.

The subcommittee noted that there is some mystery as to the fate of hijackers after they arrive in Cuba. None have been returned for trial in the United States. It said hijackings receive little publicity in Cuba, and none of the testimony indicated that Cuba promoted, urged or supported the hijackings.
