Morris deal with landfill issue As the project to bring natural gas to Walton progresses, Morris Twp. council learned, at the Aug. 19 meeting, that Union Gas would be contacting those in the area who initiated it to set up a meeting. Waste disposal billing will be forwarded to Brussels. Council agreed that demolition debris from municipalities other than Brussels and Morris would not be accepted at the landfill site. A motion was passed which stat­ ed that the Morris Twp. landfill site is not licensed to accept waste from other municipalities and that the practice must be stopped. The situ­ ation will be monitored and if the problem continues, entry cards will be checked. Councillor John Duskocy expressed a concern about the thin gravel layer on Cone. 6, 1 1/4 miles from County Road 12. Council agreed to have the matter look into.
