The general consensus was tha t ordinan ces do need strengthen ing and clarifica tion. There were a numb.er of suggested additions , but no consensus on any- one. The previous Statement of Fosition will then remain the same, It will now read: " Local except for one change in Item - L~" ordinance s should be ·clarified , and enforceme nt provision s should be strengthen ed. Present ordinance s prohibitin g burning of refuse should be enforced " Such ordinances should be enacted where lack:Lng. Local governmen t studies of alternate methods of refuse • disposal should be continued ." (I !I,, The second question was, nDo you favor tax incentive s for industry?. Other incentives ?" There was no strong consensus unequivo-• cally favoring tax incentive s; several Units favored them only as a last resorto One Unit asked for more -informati on; another • • frankly opposed them.
