Thus, the actual buildup by Burning Trash at Home Action Desk, The Gazette: I am and have been a Reno resident for 53 years, home owner and large taxpayer. Until a few years ago, the city allowed the burning of waste or trash in incinerators or large covered cans in the mornings until ten o'clock. That saved a lot of trouble and extra expense. Since this was stopped the trash has to be put in large cartons, which are hard to get and placed at the curb. The stop to the burning is said to be on account of air pollution.

Burning of trash as we once did for one thing made living better and cheaper. A Reader. Editor's Note: Howard Clodfelter, Washoe County air pollution officer, told the Action Desk that in a pollution campaign backyard burning is one of the first sources controlled. Burning in barrels releases "suspended particulate matter," such as cinders that draws flies, and emits harmful gases. "It is a nuisance to neighbors," he said.

Dump burning and home heating plants cause much the same problem. "In our emission inventory, autos cause 60 percent of the pollution, burning the rest." The ordinance which prohibits burning was planned to help stop pollution, Clodfelter said. 'Unreasonable' Sewer Fee Action Desk, The Gazette: The sewer service charge a thing never thought of, it being so unreasonable, has been in effect since March 1, 1962. For a time it was said to be unconstitutional, but of course, the city won. Wasn't this charge imposed to pay for a new disposal plant, maintenance and new sewerage installation? With the present large population, the income from this source must be enormous and more than needed for what it was intended.

Why shouldn't the rates come down instead of the surplus being used for other purposes? Does anyone except the city know what the income and expense has been for this item? A Reader Editor's Note: Reno City Manager Joe Latimore replied: "All city records of income and expenditure are public records and are available to anyone either at the city hall or as published from time to time in the newspaper." He reported the income is used for the repayment of the bonds issued and because of the decrease in the amount of construction, the connecting fee income is only a fraction of what was anticipated. "Unless this income increases, very likely an increase in the sewer fee will be required to meet the bond obligations."

The wreckage of a Navy fighter jet was found earlier on the opposite side of the mountain. Kern County Sheriff's deputies believe the two planes may have collided in mid-air. Searchers were unable to identify the bodies this morning. They said debris from the two aircraft was spread over a two-mile area.

"Both planes obviously exploded. Their shattered wreckage was scattered over a large area." said Reno attorney Robert McDonald. McDonald was among several friends of the Giroux family who went in search of the missing aircraft when it was reported overdue Tuesday.

Why can't a homeowner be allowed to park his car in front of his home without restrictions? Do the taxicab people pay for all the space they take up in town? A Reader.

Editor's Note: "Taxi cab people pay $200 a space per year to the city," said Reno Traffic Engineer Frank Cap-shaw. "All the bus loading zones in front of the clubs are paid for on the same basis. Bus loading zones for the public are not paid for." Capshaw said parking in front of your home is a privilege, not a right. "Most of the places, where we have time restrictions in residential areas, are installed at the request of the property owners because workmen downtown would park all day and walk to work." 'Follow That Action Desk, The Gazette: Our latest solution in Reno to the dog problem is apparently for the citizens to enforce city ordinances by trailing dogs, ascertaining the owners' addresses, filing complaints and appearing in court to protect our own property. Can't something be done to have a public law enforcement office do this job? Clyde Stone, 357 Mount Rose Reno.

Editor's Note: "The Nevada Humane Society is charged with the responsibility of the enforcement of the dog control ordinances," said Reno City Manager Joe Latimore. "Under normal circumstances, the officials from the humane society do take care of the enforcement. With an insufficient number of humane society employes, they are unable to cover all areas at all times. Therefore, in a few isolated cases, it would be necessary to call upon the citizens' support in the enforcement." search planes in looking tor tne 0f mandamus against Harry K. says in part mat tne cierK me ot a tnree-year-oid Doy.

They were reported missing late Tuesday and searchers found the wreckage of a light plane and a Navy jet Wednesday near Owens Peak in Kern County, Calif. (See above story for Brown, who had hunted with Giroux in the Reno area, planned to go with him in his private plane to the Yukon. "I never hesitated to fly with him.

He's qualified in instruments. He's flown to Alaska for polar bear in bad weather," said Brown. "He was a heck of a fine person. He was a real fine businessman. He was the quiet type." "He was a guy who knew what he was doing at all times.

He was as qualified as they corne as far as pilots are concerned." That's how wealthy Reno sportsman Joseph Louis Giroux. feared dead in a plane crash, was described today by a long-time friend who was scheduled to fly to Alaska with him on a hunting trip a week from today. "We just went to San Francisco together last Friday," said 38-year-old George Brown of Reno. "He's had 5.000 hours in small aircraft. He flew day and night.

He was checked out on twin engine as well as single engine." Giroux's twin engine, six-passenger Cessna 320 plane was in the shop for repairs so he, his wife, Marlene, and his mother flew out of Reno Tuesday in a single engine craft owned by Chuckle Salesman to customer examining a television sett "The tag refers to city, state, and federal taxes, madam.
