May Spend 100000
On Benning Plant

The appeal Of River Terrace
residents to The Washington
Times for aid in their efforts to
escape from clouds of SCOT pouring
from nine smokestacks of the
Benning plant Of the Potomac
Electric Power Company today
brought assurance from the COM
pany of speedy action.
Pepco officials declared they are
prepared to spend 100000, If
necessary, to rectify conditions re-
vealed by The Times Tuesday.
Contracts have been let for manu-.
facture Of special equipment to
control the smoke nuisance, com,
pany officials revealed.
REMEDY SOUGHT
For the past year, according to
the Pepco officials, smoke control
experts have been examining the
Benning plant in an effort to dis
cover how it could be prevented
from violating the Districts anti
smoke nuisance regulations.
Special equipment had to be de-
signed for the Benning plant and
several companies were unwilling
to tackle the job.
EXPERIMENTAL BOILER
Finally one concern agreed to
manufacture equipment for one
of the boilers on an experimental
basis. It will be installed just as
quickly as possible and If it
proves successful will be installed
on all the smokestacks, Pepco Of
ficials said.
District smoke inspectors have
refrained from prosecuting the
company for violation Of the
smoke regulations because of the
earnest efforts company officials
have been making to bring the
nuisance under control. it was ex-
planned at the District Building.
