Town administrator Rick Hundey pressed council to move forward the date of the next public works committee meeting to allow council approval of a public meeting on the plan,by the end of the month. Hundey proposed a February 9 date for the public .meeting, with the eventual goal of putting a final plan into action by mid summer. The waste reduction plan, which cotmcil gave their support to last year, arose out of a summer student study of the town's businesses and industries and the likelihood of re- ducing and recycling their garbage through a coordinated and inexpen- sive program. churcb dn�NtIon Continued from front page Apparently, the friars refused to sign a document of establishment that would have made the monas- tery a legal entity in the diocese.

The friars had originally come from Michigan and when they left in 1990, were headed to Connecti- cut.
