used'for converting land which is not adequate for sanitary land-
fill into usable land for that purpose.

absence from the city of Mayor Counihan, the meeting was presided
over by Chairman of Council, John H. Daniels, Jr.
Finance Committee Chairman, Edward Jung, brought to the attention
of Council the necessity of acquiring more land to be used for
sanitary landfill; and also the fact that we were gradually running
out of land that we could use for this purpose. He stated that in
order to overcome this pressing problem it was going to be necessary
for the City to purchase a dragline so that land at present inadequate
for that purpose, could be converted into usable land. Councilman
Jung informed Council that the City had a opportunity to purchase a
piece of used equipment from Briscoe Machinery, Inc., as follows:
