v.

ALTON BOX BOARD CO.

Opinion of the Board

(by Mr. Currie):

In August,

1970,

the Agency filed with this Board a complaint

charging Alton Box with operating an open-top destructor in viola-

tion of the terms of a permit issued by the former Air Pollution

Control Board and in violation of Section 9(b)

of the Environmental

Protection Act.

A hearing was scheduled on the complaint.

However, the Agency subsequently filed a written motion to

dismiss the case, concurred in by the company.

The Agency orally

explained, at the Board’s public meeting on September 16 that it was

confessing error and had not the evidence to prove its allegations.

On the basis of this statement, the Board hereby dismisses the

complaint.

I concur:

I dissent:
