State Panel Approves Profs' Garbage Plans
A garbage-disposal plan drafted by three Harvard professors has won initial legislative approval. The joint committee on public health reported favorably Tuesday on a bill providing for an ocean-going incinerator.
The incinerator would be installed in a World War II freighter, which Congress could sell to Massachusetts for $1. The cost of converting a Liberty or Victory ship for garbage disposal would be about $1,250,000, according to the plan's authors.
The garbage plan was drafted by Leslie Silverman, professor of Engineering in Environmental Hygiene; Melvin W. First, associate professor of Applied Industrial Hygiene; and James Q. Wilson, associate professor of Government.
