City States Appeal to PUC to Keep Rail Line Operating
Landlords at 2100 W. 15th St appeal to the City Council to urge the Atomic Energy Commission to hasten its license decision for Coastwise Marine Disposal Co. and issue a temporary permit. Some 3,000 drums of low grade radioactive material remain on site as the AEC suspended the firm’s license.
