Roberts, Roberts Motors, Alton, participated in a unique Ford 'Division 1972 Torino product comparison program Sept.

"The purpose of the program was to demonstrate the dramatic improvement in the ride and handling of the new Torino," he said, "and it did." He attributed the new Torino's quiet ride to the switch from the unitized construction of the 1971 Torino to a strong perimeter-type frame and a new coil spring suspension system.

Godfrey's petition on Alton Water Co. accepted by ICC By JOHN STETSON Telegraph Staff Writer Godfrey Township's petition for entering negotiations to purchase the Alton Water or through eminent domain to condemn water company facilities within the township, was accepted Tuesday by the Illinois Commerce Commission. Announcement from the ICC came in the afternoon and was then confirmed by the Godfrey Town Board of Trustees last night.

The petition marks the next step in the battle of Godfrey Township to thwart purchase of the water company by the City of Alton. Alton this summer proposed to make Alton Water Co. a city-owned utility, after the firm announced that it would seek another rate hike this time for 30 per cent. Godfrey trustees sent the petition to the ICC after making plans in July for a move to thwart purchase of the utility by Alton. Godfrey Town Attorney Steve Mottaz Tuesday night cited cost factors as the reason the township wouldn't want Alton, or any other municipality to own the utility.

Area firms to participate in Industry Day Three Alton area firms will be among 46 companies participating in Missouri Industry Day at the University of Missouri at Rolla on Sept. 28 from noon until 8 p.m. Alton Box Board Co. and 01 i Corp. will have representatives at the campus.

Shell Oil Co. of Wood River will also participate. Company representatives will attend to explain career opportunities and to show company products and services. "When a city owns a utility there are not the controls to govern the prices, they could refuse to sell water outside their city, or they could set the price at their own discretion," Mottaz said. On July 20, Godfrey Township officials voted to take their position on the utility, which started with filing of the petition with the ICC.

Godfrey wants the rate hike denied and the township officials have also recommended that an areawide water district encompassing the townships of Alton, Godfrey, Fosterburg and other areas which might want to participate. Mottaz said that creation of a water district is really the best answer to the problem. Creation of such a district would make the district a potential purchaser of the faciilty, which could then be run on a district basis to the benefit of all the water users involved.

Early gains in the three pits which ranged around 14 to cent then dissipated and prices then turned cent under the previous close.

Continuing good prospects for this year's crops and generally favorable 'weather were major factors in the selling. Reduction of margins, from 15 cents a bushel to 10 cents, also tended to bring in public buying. Nearby options were most attractive to buyers.

ALLEN KLOPE telegraph Staff Writer The East Alton board of trustees approved the annexation of 78 lots of Rosewood Heights into the village Tuesday night, which makes the second time in less than three months that residents of the unincorporated area has petitioned into East Alton.

The board took Its action just two weeks after all but four property owners in Northwoods No. Ill submitted a petition requesting to be annexed. There are 75 homes on the 78 lots, and approximately 250 men, women and children living in those according to estimated figures. An official census of the new area will be taken in the near future, according to Village Clerk Lawrence Darr. Mayor Frank Keasler said the newly annexed area has an assessed valuation of $498,950, which added to two previous annexations within the last year, means East Alton's assessed valuation has increased by almost $4 million.

Mayor Keasler said the annexation of Northwoods I and II added $1,036,100 to the valuation, while the annexation of the Olin Corp. property added The last federal census showed East Alton with 7,309 residents, and the village census of Northwoods I and II totaled another 412, so that with Northwoods III, East Alton should be approaching an 8,000 population. At Tuesday's meeting were Richard McClintock and Guy Wombles, who live in the new area. McClintock said he had helped circulate petitions for annexation, and was pleased that so a'lmost all the residents, were eager to annex to East Alton. Wombles, who served as president of the Rosewood Heights.

Improvement Association, said he originally was not for annexing, but after reviewing all the advantages, changed his mind, and was glad to help in the movement into the East Alton community. The ordinance for the annexation, which is No. 781, was introduced by Trustee Wayne Buttry, who after the first reading, moved for suspension of the rules to eliminate second and third readings, so that the ordinance could be passed. In another ordinance submitted by Buttry, the board approved the Installation of several stop signs and yield signs in the newly annexed area. Village Attorney Francis Manning said the new ordinance, No.

782, contains provision for violating the ordinance to receive fines or terms in the village or county jail. He said the jail term is new in village ordinances, and will be placed in all future or- i a to help curb violations. In another related matter, Trustee Bill Mathis moved that the village authorize Illinois Power Co. to survey the new area to determine what street lighting is needed. The motion was approved unanimously.

Obituaries Costello Edwardsville finds it's left holding 4 open burning' baby BY CAROL CLARKIN Telegraph Stall Writer of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act with relation to open burning is the baby left on the doorstep of the municipality, the Edwardsville City Council learned Tuesday evening and the' city expects to assume the responsibility, albeit reluctantly. Details of the opinion of the Illinois Pollution Control Board with reference to open burning regulations of the act were presented to the council at the close of the regular meeting by City Attorney Charles King, following which King and Mayor Scraube made recommendations and council members discussed possible enforcement methods. Enforcement of the state act which prohibits the burning of leaves and landscape refuse, as well as other household been placed almost totally upon the municipalities, King told the council. Violation is a misdemeanor, he explained, and it will be up to local police to apprehend, arrest and issue complaints. Prosecution, he added, will be the province of the office of the state's attorney.

"The will step in only when the municipality fails do so, in the matter of enforcement," King said. Alderman Nicholas Byron suggested that the adoption of a new city ordinance, with a lesser fine which could be collected by the city, might be one answer to enforcement. "Can we enact such an ordinance, though if the penalty was less than what the state might assess?" Alderman Herbert Loeh asked. "Would it be a city ordinance with a lower penalty supercede the state act?" Alderman John Merkel queried. "We haven't researched it enough yet to give a definite answer," Corporation Counsel John Crook replied, "I think we could, in my own mind I'm reasonably sure we could, but I can't say that definitely." King answered that a complaining witness would have a choice, in such a case, of charging violation under the city or the state act, and Crook noted that in the case of verified complaints, the complainant must appear in court.

"Our police are going to have a lot of time tied up in court appearances under the state act and I'm wondering if we're going to want our men going'out issuing charges and making complaints under these circumstances?" Crook added. He noted that in the case of traffic violations, when the fine involved is not excessive, "a lot of people simply plead guilty, pay then- fine, stay out of court and save a lot of time. They're not going to plead guilty to a substantial fine, but they plight under a city ordinance carrying a lesser penalty." Under Section 42 of the State Act, King told the Telegraph today, the penalty exceed $10,000 and a fine not to exceed $1,000 per day for to exceed $1,000 per day for each day the violation continues. "That's a top figure, though, and it gives local court jurisdiction considerable leeway for assessing a fair and sensible fine. In addition, some of such money is possibly reclaimable in civil suits," he told the Telegraph.

Immediate problems to Edwardsville were summed up by Byron. "What are we going to do with all these leaves?" "Well, we're saddled with it," Alderman Ray Abert commented, "and I wish when Springfield decided to enact laws we have to enforce, they'd send down some money to help enforce one thing I'd suggest is uniformity of containers for the refuse." Mayor William Straube, noting that his family had been using plastic bag containers for all refuse for the past I've noticed that from about two bags a pickup, we've jumped to about out that plastic bags may be a dubious solution. "They're non-biodegradable. Landfill operators don't like refuse to accept refuse in plastic. I'm not at all sure that in solving one environmental problem, we're not going to end up creating another in the field of future land reclamation." Even the state pollution control board has expressed reservations regarding the use of the plastic bags, King added.

In the opinion of the board, he said, caution about the disposal of 'leaves in plastic bags was urged. "They believe that the bags may interfere with normal decomposition of leaves in a sanitary landfill and that gaseous products of incineration of plastic bags may be undesirable in the. admit that they may be causing still another environmental problem, but they haven't outlawed them," King said. Mayor Straube referred to committee a study of existing city ordinances with reference to open burning and asked for committee recommendations concerning further city action. He also announced that he would meet with city director of public safety Edward Carpenter concerning city enforcement of the state act.

Final, if tentative, advice by Straube to residents of Edwardsville: "Put them (leaves) in bags for pickup. Don't sweep them into the streets." City Attorney King told the Telegraph today that following the meeting, he had discussed with Straube and Carpenter the possibility of issuing citations to least in the beginning, a sort of written reminder and particularly for first offenses. There's going to be a lot of confusion and misunderstanding on the part of the public at first probably for at 1 a a year. I think original warnings in the form of citations should be the first step, in enforcement. We shouldn't lean too hard at the beginning."
