of ordinance so repealed, which violation was committed previous to the ef fective date of this chapter, shall be tried and determined exactly as if such : ordinance or part thereof had not been repealed.

INTERPRETATION.

17-84. This chapter shall not be considered or construed as in any way re

pealing, modifying or nullifying any other ordinance of the City or the provisions of the Municipal Code of Chicago or any rules and regulations thereunder, except those ordinances or provisions expressly repealed hereby. This chapter shall be deemed to be concurrent with and supplemental to any ordinances of the City or any provisions of the Municipal Code of Chicago.

Mr. STANLEY. Yes; this is our ordinance. It has all the elements you need for a good program.

No. 1, it has a permit system. No. 2, it has a nuisance clause. No. 3, it has the ability to actually close down plants under various conditions.

Now, this is an effective ordinance. However, the real proof of the pudding, so to speak, is how you implement it.

Senator TYDINGS. When was this adopted?

Mr. STANLEY. 1959.

Senator TYDINGS. It became effective May 1, 1959.

Mr. STANLEY. Right. We went to these various industry groups and they knew we had this ordinance. We proposed these programs and requested that they submit in writing a program through the proper channels by which they can reduce the amount of pollution.

Now, I can say categorically that most of the industry activities have been very cooperative. Those that are national operators have been most cooperative. The problem lies in the marginal industry. This is the industry that is on its last legs. They are using all the old facilities.

As you know, we had stockyard activity in Chicago which was a major industry, and it is gradually dwindling. With that we are left with some of the rendering plants, which are a marginal type. Through various programs through urban renewal, primarily, and through various other kinds of programs, we try to take care of marginal industries. However, I don't think we could take care of all of them. The additional burden of control equipment on a marginal industry is a significant factor here.

The program with the utility company started back about the same time, 1962. They spent about $40 million building in a gas capability. This is only for the capability to burn gas under various conditions. Now, we are faced with the problem of sharing the strategy. The gas strategy is between the utilities and the next 50 largest powerplants and industrial plants.

Much of our program is outlined in our annual report. This one is from 1965. The programs are continuing. You will notice on page 18 there is a breakdown of the emissions that have been eliminated from the various steelmaking facilities and the breakdown in the fuel usage which are two of our largest sources.

Senator TYDINGS. We will keep this booklet "Comprehensive Plan for the City of Chicago" in the file. We will keep this for the record. (Document referred to may be found in the files of the subcommit

tee.)

Mr. STANLEY. I think, looking at our program, we have tried to accelerate this thing as rapidly as possible. It has been done through the complete automation of many of our activities. The total sys tem approach, and the ability to measure on a continuous basis, is a real time application of what is actually going on in the atmosphere. You will need these combinations. I think you need the same-you need a very high level of technical ability to do this. This is not a program to be handled by nonengineering groups or strictly laymen. You really need professional talent to handle an air pollution program effectively. If you do not have the talent to handle the program, you

immediately lose respect of your industry representatives and they realize you are fumbling with this. You really have to have the numbers and the program to carry it out.

Senator TYDINGS. I wonder if you could submit, for the files, names and biographical sketches of your top personnel, their educational backgrounds.

Mr. STANLEY. I could.

Senator TYDINGS. Please supply that for the record. (Materials referred to follows:)
