PCB study outlines New England environmental action
The EPA regional office in Boston announced a comprehensive program to collect data on PCBs in New England air water and soil and to reduce health risks. The effort includes sampling fish water and sediment surveying industries reviewing clean up permits landfill and drinking water monitoring and air monitoring at incinerators. Results show PCBs in Housatonic River sediment and fish with downstream levels well above FDA limits prompting major monitoring and possible permit changes. The agency aims to report results by spring or summer 1976 and to curb discharges through case by case permit modifications.

How Much Profit Real Estate Taxes Apply
When selling a home for a profit Uncle Sam may tax the gain unless you buy another home of greater cost. You can minimize tax by adding buying costs such as title search title insurance lawyer fees and recording charges to the original cost and deducting selling costs. Capital improvements add to cost basis while selling costs reduce proceeds. Mrs. Hoisington is principal broker of Hoisington Realty and holds multiple realty positions.
