Spokane Chronicle from Spokane, Washington • 5

TrrtT TWiiinarnirtny i 5' Tuesday, Aug. HI, 11)71. Spokane Daily Chronicle, Ai Bum Tome's Geeur Reed-grass stubble burning, annually one of Spokanes major air-pollution problems, begins tomorrow and will last about six weeks, Fred A. Shiosaki, director of the Spokane County Air Pollution Control Authority, said today. In an attempt to reduce the emissions of smoke and particulate matter, several growers in the Spokane Vailey will bale much of the grass straw about one-and a-half tons an acre, Shiosaki said.

Of the 45,000 acres to be burnpd in Spokane County, only about 8,000 acres first will be baled. However, that acreage is in what Shiosaki called a sensi tive area" along the Spokane River Valley, where population is more dense and weather inversion effects greater. Smog Created Two apparently inadvertent grass fires late yesterday produced a blanket of smog over Spokane today, Shiosaki said. lie added that under a new amendment lifing seed-grass burning exemptions from state law, growers now must have permits to burn. Growers an estimated 400 of them will again operate under a voluntary smoke management program, designed to limit most burning to times when weather conditions provide favorable ventilation.

LEMON Freeway construction through Spokane, begun 14 years ago, was officially completed today with the formal opening of the west-bound traffic lanes of the newest and final section (from Helena to Division) of multi-lane roadway.

Coincident with the opening of the final 1.2 miles of freeway came the announcement from Glen A.

Until today, Second and Third have served as the alternate route through sections of the city for Interstate 90 traffic and, Yake explained, both roadways have taken a tremendous He said some underground utility work already is under way in preparation for the new curb to curb paving project. Second experienced one of its worse traffic jams of the year this morning when, in final preparation for opening the new section of highway, it was necessary temporarily to channel westbound cars onto a single off-ramp from the Freeway to Second. State Trooper Donald Hurst said a four-car, rear-ender accident in which no one was injured also was a factor in the jam. By 10:30, however, the entire length of the freeway was open to multi-lane traffic in both directions all the way through the city for the first time.

Heading the technical group is Herbert C. Clare, Seattle, a planner with the regional Envi-ronmental Protection Agency office, Lofgren said.

He said about 50 applications by Section 235 home buyers requesting remedy of problems have been processed by the Spokane office and that 41 of the complaints were found to be legitimate. He said the FHA is making corrections or adjust ments in these 41 cases. He said about 200 complaints have been received and that the FHA is continuing to process cases.

Pederson said the valid complaints commonly involve such-items as roofs, heating systems and termite infestations. Evaluations Wrong HUDs regional director said some house were evaluated erroneously by appraisers who determined what repairs should be made to the homes. In other instances where required re pairs were not made or were improperly made, he said, inspectors and mortgage lenders simply assumed things were done properly. Sometimes the appraisers would ask for a termite inspec tion, and the inspectors would find none," he said, but later the termites would be found there. He said those private individuals and firms responsible for the mistakes or repair work are being required to make correc tions.

List Made If they dont, they get on our list, and they cant do business with us anymore, he said. lie said that, if FHA cannot get compliance with orders to make corrections, it will make them itself and pay the bill.

I By FRANK BERTEL The suspension of the Federal Housing Administrations Section 235 housing rehabilitation program, embroiled in controversy both locally and nationally, may be lifted here within the next 30 days. That is the word from the U.S.. Department of Housing and Urban Developments Seattle Regional director, Oscar Pederson, who said steps have been taken here to correct problems in administration of the program and to remedy mistakes.

Pederson said he is recommending lifting of the suspension, in effect since mid-Janu-ary. At that time, Housing Secretary George Romney suspended a portion of the low-income housing program dealing with older homes because of alleged abuses. Irregularities Claimed In March, Romney said there appeared to be numerous cases of irregularities or apparent law violations involving some of the FIIAs own appraisers, as well as real estate people, mortgage lenders and contractors. The suspension has since been lifted in some other cities. An FBI investigation into the matter included some cases In Spokane.

Pederson said the Investigation is continuing and he neither knew nor could discuss the possible outcome of the Justice Departments investigations. But, he said, no local officials were involved in cases referred to the FBI. He said only private individuals were involved. Carelessness Cited Pederson said the housing agencys own investigation uncovered Irregularities here.
