Brophy announced this, morning. The new dumping ground is located in the Pines Bridge section of Beacon Falls on Lopus road. This road is the first right after crossing the Naugatuck river at Pines Bridge. i Mr.

Bropby said this morning that of the several sites proposed and inspected by the borough board committee, none of. the sites were desirable, particularly because of justifiable objection to the nuisance and fire hazard to nearby residents. State laws protecting public reservoirs also entered the picture. Mr. Erophy said.

Complaints, however, were voiced by residents of the North Main street area.
