<br />COMMUNICATION
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />May 8, 1948
<br />A bill is being formulated for the state legislature entitled "Abatement of Smoke in Indiana ". The nature of
<br />this bill is not to discourage the use of any particular fuels, but to regulate and encourage the rp oper
<br />operation of fuel burning devices in order to keep the pollution of the atmosphere at a mindmum. Realizing
<br />that the larger cities of Indiana are most severely affected by this nuisance, letters of inquiry, as to their
<br />favorability of such a public measure, are being sent to all of the cities on that basis.
<br />Upon receipt of letter will you express your feelings on such legislation or kindly forward to an organization
<br />or interest group in your city that will inform the writer at the earliest possible date.
<br />Since Indiana has no state legislation on this subject and the apparent need for such is to great, I intend to
<br />have the subject bill introduced at the next session of the state legislature.
<br />Yours truly,
<br />L. A. Roudebush
<br />5364 Speedway-Drive
<br />Indianapolis, Indiana
<br />Councilman Korpal made a motion that the letter be accepted andhisced on file. Councilman Erler seconded the
<br />motion. Motion carried.
