The commission at its Monday meeting said it felt this would be a practical solution now since no land, either for lease or sale, has been Some of the county officials, including Executive Secretary Terrell Baskerville, said they have had many inquiries as to when Rohoic District will have the landfill. "People ask about it, but they don't want to help in securing it," Baskerville commented at Wednesday night's board meeting. Located in the northeastern section of the county, Rohoic District is heavily populated. It has quite a few subdivisions, tome of which are still not fully developed.

County officials believe that part of the problem of finding land is that many pcnont have a misunderstanding about how a landfill operates. Some of them think it's "just a dump," one' person said.

PETERSBURG Representatives from Hopewell, Colonial Heights, Dinwid-' die County, Prince George County and Chesterfield County gathered in Petersburg Thursday morning to hear representatives from the State Highway Department discuss unification of the different area traffic plane. Assistant State Planning Engineer Kl. M.

Wilkinson pointed out to the. group the biggest problem' was the fact that each city's traffic study and plan had been started at a different date. One' of the Highway Department representatives. 0. K.

Mabry, said the area may need a' new plan to include the entire' six municipalities as one area. Their main emphasis was that the age difference in the present plans makes it hard to join them together. Another of the highway representatives said they need more up-to-date socio-economic data for the area. Wilkinson said the new study would probably cost a total of $100,000. He said this would pull all the present plans together and update them.

This would be the cost if the Highway Department can get the Bureau of Roads to initiate a new study for Petersburg. He pointed out the Highway Department had not yet approached the Bureau of Roads "The total cost of the new plan to the three cities would be around $12,500," 'said Wilkinson. This figure is-to be divided between the three cities. "The counties would have no cost to them as the counties roads are the responsibility of poration.
