A legal storm brewed in Fair

without waiting for a completed
master plan from the County
Planning Commission.
This would restrict develop

the county to three and five acre
lots. It has been the most con.
troversial feature of the McHugf
plan, which the planning com.
mission has been studying for II
months.
Lawyers Forecast Battle

day after they adopt this thing.
said one attorney representing
two large landowners.
Another lawyer branded thu

promised to go to court Il

Opposition to the three anc
five acre lot restrictions has come
principally from rural landown'

maximum is half-acre.

came as a surprise. In effect. i

Engineers Told
0fKeroseneEra
In White House

How lamps burning rock oil
keroSene-replaced yellow cam
dies in lighting the White House
was described yesterday by DR..
Samuel G. Hibben, a consulting
engineer of Montclair. NJ.
The change to modern" IL
Elimination came in 1845 through
the desire of the wife of Presi-
dent Polk for improved lighting.
DR.. Hibben addressed the East
Central Regional Conference of
the Illuminating Engineering
Society holding a 50th anniver-
sary meeting at the Shoreham
Hotel.
The speaker told of finding
the specifications of the first
planned lighting job for the
White House in the correSpon-
dence of Sarah ChildreSs Polk in
the Library of Congress. He said
he came across it more or less by
accident several years ago when
he was looking for other records.
DR.. Hibben said thousands of
tallow candles had to be used for
lighting the main public rooms
OF the White House. He pictured
hot candle grease dropping on
the bare shoulders of the lovely
ladies of pre-Civil War days as
they danced in the East Room.
The cost of such illumination
came to $4.25 an hour.
DR.. Hibben, who participated
In studies of the dirnouts and
blackouts here during World
War II. said a book on the new
lighting system of the Polk Ad-I
ministration had been prepared.
He said a copy would be pre-
Sented by the Illuminating Engi-
neering Society to Mrs. Eisen-
hover.
In another talk, Peter Gil. of
the Interior Department, de-
scrlbed the f1oodlighting of Gov
eminent buildings. He said the
first lighting of the Capitol dome
was in August, 1894, when 70
large electric lamps were placed
over the head of the Statue of
Freedom atop the dome.
