tHe council that verbal approval
had been obtained from the
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) but written ap-
proval has been alow In com-

government, if all facets arc
approved, will pay 75 percent
of this cost. Johnson***id. how-
ever, that the construction Vs
probably still two years away
because of the enormous amount
of red tape and statistical data
that is needed by various fed-
eral agencies before the grant

ported that a traffic survey
for other intersections with the

not heavy enough an any of

systems arc very expensive
and cannot be constructed on
a casual basis.
The council passed a ‘‘Junk"
cat ordinance specifying that
any location other than regular
body shop and garages with
two or more Junk vehicles lo-
cated there would be sub icct
to filing and penalties.
