Congresswomen Savers and
the Commissioner (Dr.) Odum Niche from the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) meet Dr. Betsy Ross-Hamilton, Chair
of the History Department; Dr. Virga Stratus, Meteorology Professor,
Dr. P.H. Zwitterion, Chair of the Chemistry Department from Ramford
University in the Historic District of the city of
Ramford.
Dr.
Ross-Hamilton, vice-president of the Ramford County Historic
Society, consulted Dr. Stratus and Dr. Zwitterion when she began to
notice marked deterioration of the surface of statues and mill
buildings constructed during the Revolutionary War period in Ramford
City. Virga and P.H.
concluded that the damage is being caused by acid precipitation,
which has been a chronic problem in Ramford County for more than 15
years. They arranged
the meeting with Flora Savers and Commissioner Niche to inspect the
pitted statues and crumbling façades of several buildings in the
historic district surrounding the Great Falls of the Ramford River.
The citizens of Ramford
County are proud of role that the Ramford Mills and the City had in
the early history and the industrial development of the US.
All concerned wish to insure that the Historic District is
maintained. This is
especially important because the City is considering making a bid to
host the Winter Olympics in eight years and this district would be
the focal point of the ceremonies.
Congresswomen Savers and
Commissioner Niche tell this group that an Acid Precipitation Action
Panel (APAP) will be established immediately.
