Cos gngclcs Ci'mcs 2 Tuesday 27, 1 943-part 3 Episcopalians Begin Sessions Election of a successor to, the County's Plans for Incinerators May Be Altered Can the county of Los Angeles avoid in its vast incinerator program the troubles encountered by the city of Los Angeles in the same realm? For two hours yesterday afternoon, at a special meeting in Chairman Raj-mond V. Darby's office, members of the Board of Supervisors wrestled with that thorny question, as they sought to decide whether to widen the scope of a second set of incinerator plans to be drawn by the engineering firm of Koebig Koebig. Specifically, the issue was whether there should be added to the original Koebig design of a 500-ton-a-day rectangular-type incinerator the plans and specifications also of a circular type so more incinerator concerns could bid. The debate grew out of the appearance before the board last Tuesday of Louis P. Eooz, consulting engineer of New York, who asserted that by limiting the bids to a rectangular type some concerns will be excluded.

May Widen Field Supervisor John Anson Ford, who originally introduced Booz to the board, said he wants to find out whether it is possible to widen the field and take bids on both major types, which differ on basic principles. Chairman Darby stressed that the county wants to avoid the position in which the city finds itself, with controversy both over the workability and contract features of the incinerator at Ave. 21 and Lacy St. Supervisor Roger Jessup urged going ahead, on the basis of the reputation of the Koebig firm. "But they'll run us all out of town if we don't get one that works right," warned Chairman Darby.

H. Koebig and a staff of engineers, presented a long statement in which it was declared that the rectangular type as designed is assured of workability because many similar ones do work properly in the East. It was denied that the circular type has superseded the rectangular, as Engineer Booz declared before the board.

Koebig, however, did urge that the new circular Beverly Hills incinerator which has a mechanical stoking device-Mbe watched closely for six months to see how it works, because its successful operation might point toward a similar type here. He also said that it might be good practice to have prebids on incinerator parts, and then build a building around the type selected. He asserted that only one-third of the cost of a modern incinerator plant is in the incinerator itself, and that the remaining two-thirds goes into the building and operating devices. Cautioned on Delay Roscoe Shonered, chief mechanical engineer of the county, confidence in the type designed by the Koebig concern, as a result of a tour of inspection he took in the East' Caution against too much de lay in building the Glendale-area incinerator which is held up by the board pending study, although drawing of the plans for $42,000 originally was ordered was voiced by Director Louis C.

He said smoke drifting from the present Glendale incinerator is a traffic menace on near-by highways. From County Counsel Harold W. Kennedy came the opinion that the board legally can ask bids on both a rectangular and circular type of incinerator, but that specific plans for both will have to be submitted to bidders to meet State law.
