In Tokyo a government proclaimed no car day mostly cabinet ministers kept the pledge while most people ignored it, filling streets with cars as crowded elevated expressways moved at snail pace.

Tunnell pushes tree burning fixes in county plan
A county board sees ordinance amendments aimed at reducing slash waste by burning in some north county neighborhoods. Tunnell cites eucalyptus removals for a Santa Maria Valley subdivision and the Clark Rd project, noting that dumps refuse to accept the slash and suggest burning as practical. Orcutt frontage road extension prompts major tree removal. Frost questions feasibility given demands for preserving trees. Beattie counters, and Tunnell defends eucalyptus as unsuitable for residential areas.
