Friday, March 2, 1990 Newi Journal, Mansfield, O. ObituariesRecords 9-a M. Ruth Gruver Williams LOUDONVILLE Former Loudonville resident M. Ruth Williams, 80, of Ft. Meade, died Air From Page 1-A "This is no longer a clean-air bill, this is a hold your breath bill," said Daniel Becker, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club.
"I think they've made some real progress," said William Fay, administrator of the Clean Air Working Group, the main business lobbying coalition on the bill. The compromise plan would address three areas: ACID RAIN It would order a 10 million-ton cut each year in sulfur dioxide emissions from 107 aging, coal-burning power plants in the industrial Midwest and the Southeast. That is much the same as the original Senate and Bush proposals. But the compromise plan seeks to placate coal-mining interests in the Midwest by encouraging the use of scrubbers, costly devices that allow power plants to continue using the high-sulfur coal mined in Midwestern states. However, Bill Roberts, the legislative director of the Environ mental Defense Fund, said the plan could produce a smaller cut than 10 million tons because every pound of emissions cut by using scrubbers would count as 2 pounds.
The plan also seeks political support from clean-air Western states by allowing them to increase sulfur dioxide emissions if more electricity is produced to meet growth. Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, whose state's power plants are the biggest contributors to acid rain, said he would fight for changes to ease the economic impact on Ohioans. URBAN SMOG The compromise, much like the original plans, would order automakers to cut smog-causing emissions of hydrocarbons by 22 percent and emissions of nitrogen oxides by 60 percent. But the plan could abort a second round of tailpipe restrictions originally proposed by the Senate.
The second round of emissions restrictions, cutting carbon monoxide by 50 percent and cutting the other two pollutants another 50 percent in late 2003, would be ordered only if 11 seriously polluted cities continued to have unhealthy levels of smog. AIRBORNE TOXIC CHEMICALS The plan would regulate the emission of 191 toxic chemicals from factories and other facilities. The government has regulated only seven such chemicals in the past 20 years. Like the original Senate plan, the compromise would order factories to install state-of-the-art technology to control those emissions. But a second round of cuts, tied to a one-in-a-mil-lion risk of cancer, could be changed by Congress following studies by the National Academy of Sciences and a blue-ribbon commission.
Also, the proposal on toxic chemicals for the first time would allow some businesses to buy nearby homes and relocate residents if they continue to face high cancer risks. Mitchell said he hoped the agreement would win enough support to forestall the threat of a filibuster. He would need 60 votes to end a filibuster. He said the Senate would start debating the compromise bill Monday. 7Wi 4J Eva Shepherd SHILOH Eva Shepherd, 74, of Shiloh died Friday morning at the Hillside Acres Nursing Home in Willard.

DeCourcy Hamilton County auditor since 1970, has resigned, saying he plans to devote his time to defending himself against accusations that his office improperly granted property tax reductions. DeCourcy, 67, announced his retirement at the urging of fellow Republicans. He said he will leave office within a week.

The state also is investigating the valuation reductions. Under Ohio law, the GOP can appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of DeCourcy's term, which ends in January.
