had conceded that some of

Julian P. Green, chief of the

Department of Licenses and
Inspections, said that since the
new air pollution control regu-
lationS went into effect on
April 18 no permits to burn
have been issued on any demo-
lition contract signed after that
date, except for one to Liberty.
Policy Is Sought
Commissioner Tobriner said
that he wants to establish a
policy of burning for future
wrecking jobs.
Liberty's permit to burn was
obtained after an inquiry by
Representative Rabaut, Demo-
crat of Michigan, and chair
man of the House Appropria-
tions Subcommittee handling
the District budget, as to why
burning was not being per-
mitted at this site.
AS a result of Mr.. Rabaut's
inquiry to Commissioner To-
briner, the Commissioner asked
DR.. Daniel Finucane, director
of the District Health Depart
ment, to look into the situation.
DR.. Finucane ruled that all
the combustible materials were
contaminated and should be
burned.
Officials of other wrecking
companies have said they would
have Slashed their bid prices
by about $4,000 if they had
known burning was to be per-
mitted.

following the intercession of a

The issue involved is the ac-
tion of the District govern
ment in granting a permit to
the Liberty Wrecking & Build
ing Materials Co. for burning
of all combustible materials
from $40 buildings it has con-
tracted to raze.
The contract covers demo-
lition work in the Northeast
Urban Renewal Project Area
No. l. a few blocks behind
Union Station.
Burning Is Permitted
Although wrecking contrac-
tors had been told before the
contract was let that no burn
ing would be allowed because
of the Districts new air pollu-
ton control regulations, a per-
nit was issued to Liberty on
the grounds that all combusti-
BILE materials we're contami-
mated and should not be hauled
away because of the risk of
spreading disease hazards.
Commissioner Tobriner said
nothing was done in this case
that wouldn't have been done
for any 9th recontractor under
similar circumstances.
Commissioner Tobriner said
that he has asked 1t. Col.

But remember that high

of this fashion level, the exact

should be determined by the

you.
AS you shorten skirts and
decide on the width of a hem,
consider the weight of the

Have you checked On the
lighting in your home recent
ly? This time of year we
spend long r hours indoors
and lighting becomes more i'm
portant.
Add a lamp where it is need
ed. A rule of thumb is to have
a good source of lighting
where you use your eyes--at
the piano, desk, sink, bath
room mirror, dresser, Dads
favorite chair, sewing mach
ing, ironing board and so on.
Pole Lamps For Decoration
Most of the pole lamps that
are SO popular now should not
be used for "seeing." They
have two faults. One, the light
is poor due to poor or no
diffusion. And two, the light
has a high brightness due to
the poor distribution.
If you must buy this type
lamps, use it for supplement
tary decorative lighting. Di-
rect one light toward the cei-
ling, the middle one might
spotlight a picture, fireplace
or some spot of interest. The
third one might focus on a
planter or something low.
1t is important to keep the
beam of light out of the eyes
of anyone in the room. Some
times this takes a bit of do
ing.
