Law Director Gateau reported: 1) In the past week, there has been a great deal of activity with respect to the Law Department's efforts, along with Squire, Sanders and Dempsey, on the EPA Sewer Tap-in Ban Case. Basically, this case was fought on two fronts: one in Federal Court dealing with the subject, "should a temporary restraining order be issed by the Federal Court", which Judge Alice Batchelder opted to continue until next Thursday when the Environ- mental Board of Review is to hear the request for a stay and two, dealing with the taking of depositions, on Monday, by the Law Department, with respect to the EPA official who was responsible for having recommended that. the ban be in- stituted, and on Tuesday, the taking of depositions from Service Director Noble and Plant Superintendent Crider. No hearing was held on Thursday because a call was received from the Attorney General's office suggesting that they agreed to the stay and on January 25th, if a number of issues presently in dispute are not resolved, a hearing would be held to determine whether or not the stay should continue until such differences were resolved. 2) There was also some activity with respect to the Clark Oil Case. A variance had been requested for a canopy; Board of Zoning Appeals turned it down; the Court of Common Pleas overturned the Board of Zoning Appeals and the issue is now in the Court of Appeals.
