<br />MAYOR WASCHAK: <br />MR. WILLIAM CANTRELL: <br /> <br />Bill Cantrell you had your hand up, will <br />you please come forward at this time? <br />Mr. Mayor, Council people, staff - I am <br />not only here to represent Mr. Domenico, <br />because I think that some of the things that <br />have been spoken there for himself, and I'm <br />here to represent myself - William Cantre1 <br />and my wife Eleanor Cantre1, who couldn't be <br />here tonight - she was busy baby-sitting. <br />But here feelings are in this also and much <br />of what I am going to say I asked here be- <br />fore I left home. In the phone pattern as <br />you were asked for, I don't know whether we <br />have called to complain about this particular <br />complaint. But I did know that we had sig- <br />ned a petition. Now this petition hasn't <br />been brought to light yet in this meeting, <br />and I don't know if it will be. There are <br />several others in the Community who also <br />signed it. I'm going to speak mostly from <br />my own feelings. I am about two blocks and <br />50 feet more away from the factory. We also <br />feel these blasts - noise vibrations - it <br />rattles the dishes in the cupboards. Eleanor <br />has also made up some time on the time-sheet <br />here. This time which I have will be a per- <br />centage of times, because she is not home all <br />thru the day. She helps at school. No I <br />can't say that it has actually put cracks into <br />my house. Now as far as the railroad and the <br />train vibrating my property - it has before, <br />but there was a very good reason for that. <br />The town had a water break at one time, eith- <br />er very close or underneath the tracks, and <br />when the ground got soggy that is when my <br />house started rattling from the train. Or- <br />dinarily we don't have much of a problem, <br />because I have 10" floor joists which I be- <br />lieve are well supported under there, and I <br />have a pretty good basement also. I think <br />my house is very well constructed. Under <br />sound vibration - we hear the sound vibra- <br />tion to go along with the vibrating of the <br />glass. I had some others to talk about, but <br />in your conversation I will call these in <br />and we will talk about these other industrial <br />problems later. <br /> <br />- 13 - <br />
