<br />
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />
<br /> I have before me ~ copy of the proposed ordins~uoe on the regut~tiqn of fuel oil
<br />burners. Section ~2' of the above ordinance is, in my opinion entirely too broad and pro-
<br />hibits the use of burne=s which are equally as safe as burners which ~re permitted.
<br />
<br />is passed.
<br />
<br />would appreciate very much
<br />
<br />an opportunity to be heard before-the above o=dinance
<br />Very truly yours,
<br />
