Three solutions, which under MNEY m most conditions should alleviate the problem are: 1) convince Mr. Bennett not to burn when the wind blows from the west, 2) attach a large metal plate '- to - the east side of the smoke stack, which would tend to dissipate the smoke to a degree when the wind is from the west, 3)extend an 8' section to the existing stack. However, a damper would have to be installed. This would allow warmer air to be stopped in the stack creating a draft. Mn David Bennett was present and made a few comments.. Mayor Stock stated that he doesn't understand the problem; if good burning materials and pro- cedures are being used, it should not cause a problem. The City Council felt they, should not get involved in this matter and the neighbors should F t try to solve the problem.
