#### Commissioner of Welfare, Respondent, v. Joseph Belgrave, Appellant.

Order, entered on February 17, 1961, increasing support, unanimously reversed on the law and matter remanded for a new hearing, without costs. On complainant’s application the court increased the amount of support for plaintiff’s son from $5 to $15 a week. The amount of $5 was fixed at the original hearing in 1858 when paternity was admitted. In October, 1960 an application for an increase was not granted. To obtain an increase now, there should be a showing that there has been a change in conditions, such as the need of the mother or the ability of the father to pay, which would warrant a change in the existing order for support. The evidence adduced was too meager to make such a finding *(Schaschlo*v. *Taishoff,*2 N Y 2d 408). Concur — Breitel, J. P., Valente, McNally, Stevens and Steuer, JJ.

Subject: NHPA Consultation for McElmo Creek Unit Flare

Good Afternoon,

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 is processing a federal Clean Air Act air

quality permit for the McElmo Creek Unit (MCU) Flare. The undertaking triggering consultation under the

National Historic Preservation (NHPA) is the issuance of this Clean Air Act permit. The EPA is the lead federal

agency, and only agency, involved in this undertaking.

Other than the potential installation of a variable speed fan on the Flare, EPA’s undertaking does not authorize

any new construction or modification of existing equipment at the MCU Facility. The undertaking results in no

new surface disturbance or change in operations and therefore will have no effect on eligible historic

properties located within 2 km area of potential effects for the Flare.

I would appreciate talking to you this week or early next week about this action before sending you official

documentation to initiate the NHPA consultation. Please let me know if you are available at the following

times to discuss this action:

10:00 am MST, Thurs, 9/3

10:00 am MST, Fri, 9/4

10:00 am MST, Mon, 9/7

10:00 am MST, Tues, 9/8

I look forward to your response.

Thank you.
