cinerator was approved by the Federal Pollution Board? Mr. Penland
stated that the federal agencies ran test on the incinerator and it
burned below the federal standards. Several other questions were
asked by Commissioner Mhoon. A question and answer period followed

no objections that this item be passed over until a later date.
