"We should try to keep it that way," Klungel added. The site supervisor is en- countering problems when people put still live ashes in with their household garbage. The coals may smc.uider for two or three days and then break out into open flame. A notice prohibiting the dump- ing of hot ashes will appear in the Civic Corner announcement. Council decided to retain the tons of dirt that will be ex- cavated when road work begins in the spring, to be us- ed as land fill at the dump. A new roadway at the site will be required for the trucks. A general idea of costs will be obtained before the next meeting.

Another in- terested volunteer is Eileen Rannie, member of the historical committee. All members of council pledged full support for the project.
