A spokesman for the developer said this morning that the project is not intended to compete with the city in any way and that the company is "strictly neutral" on the current controversy involving the Lighthouse Point convention center.

The complex will include apartments, shops, meeting rooms and a theater, Geisler said. The second proposal is by T. A.

The Frederick Street site is zoned correctly for the apartment house, Geisler said, but the developer requires a site supervision permit- "Project plans will be discussed in some detail at the commission hearing July 19," a development spokesman said.

Petris originally presented the bill to the Senate as an incentive for manufacturers to develop and market smog-free cars. Besides Grunsky, Sens. Fred L. Marler R-Redding, and Clark L. Bradley, R-San Jose, also said they did not consider the measure a very good incentive.

Biddle, however, told the house that passage of such a law would immediately make it profitable for fleet owners in the South Coast Air Basin to convert to propane or natural gas fuels, providing an immediate and substantial reduction in smog. The South Coast Air Basin, including Riverside County plus sections of San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties, has had propane or some other clean-burning fuel.
