20 Dow spending millions to meet federal laws counsel, only $87 million could be termed necessary and appropriate. Of the remainder, $50 million was deemed excessive and $10 million questionable or worse. Dow is one of the very few companies that conducted a survey of all its regulatory expenditures, but it now suggests other companies do the same, in the name of common sense By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) Dow Chemical U.S.A. conducted a survey among its many units and concluded that in 1975 it spent $147 million to comply with federal laws and regulations, or five cents for every dollar of sales. Of that, said James Hanes, vice president and general pSiygeiwjasgjiMiwB'iiiowi hi m.imw ia wiMMaawiitiMiiiiiMiii8yy-s8y'y KEWfcK f)" pSStt'ICEJ4S-5CC "5 1 eBusiness Greenery increases value Dave Rose and Frank Lake, salesmen, demonstrate furnace.

Nickles Son can provide home the Longwood dual fuel fuel economy Mechanic Paul Piper of Brown's Transmission works on an intake manifold. Brown does more than just transmission work worries. One side burns wood or coal. The other side burns oil or gas. Duo-Matic provides comfortable continuous forced air heat to every room.

It's operation is trouble-free. It's heavy duty welded steel construction lasts for many years. And there's a 10-year warranty on the heat exchanger unit. The other dual furnace is Longwood. which has been keeping America warm for more than 20 years, and burns wood and oil or wood and gas.

With Longwood, owners get temperature control with an automatic thermostat. Heat is provided during electric outages. Wood is ignited automatically. Longwood's large combustion chamber handles wood up and reducing inflation. "It was money that simply fueled inflation," said Hanes of the needless expenditures.

"It could have been employed productively elsewhere by Dow and the ultimate victims, the consumers." JThe numbers become staggering when multiplied by the thousands of companies throughout the nation, he observed, and perhaps what might be termed shocking in terms of the jobs that never were created because the money was wasted. Dow acted after regulatory matters repeatedly dominated its annual management meetings. Hanes visited with his Washington officials and was told he had to have hard numbers. "Everyone was unhappy." he said, "but nobody had the specifics." He and others then devised a questionnaire to be sent to 119 company units, mainly those that had independent budgets. When managers declared certain regulations unnecessary, they were asked to supply an explanation.

The instances. of waste sometimes were tragic, amusing, illogical, but in other instances seemingly reasonable until examined. The most bureaucratically abused situation involved toxic substances which, if spilled, required the company to file a report with the Environmental Protection Agency. For a period of time the company filed no reports. Eventually it received a letter asking why it had made no submissions.

Hanes said he replied that there were no spills to report. "Why?" he was asked, with the inference being that some explanation would have to be given. Much waste is less obvious, the company found. The overlapping of the Food and Drug Administration, EPA and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration often results in different sets of regulations dealing with one industrial problem. "Politically, they can't rest without doing something," said Hanes.

The bureaucracy, he said, is competitive, with itself. The regulatory problems aren't limited to trie expenditure of money for nonproductive ends or to violations of "good scientific, manufacturing, business or personnel practices." as the Dow measuring stick is calibrated. Also involved, said Hanes, is the loss of proprietary information, and the weakening of American companies in international trade. He cited the instance of the Japanese firm that sought to purchase a Dow technique for removing a contaminant from a certain chemical. Suddenly, negotiations stopped; the Japanese firm had obtained the information from the government under the Freedom of Information Act.

Dows own figures indicate that the major part of its expenditures on regulatory matters are necessary and appropriate, but it thinks both government and industry can cooperate in fighting waste. One part of its counterattack involves an agreement with the Energy Research and Development Administration in which the company was permitted to police and monitor its own compliance with regulations at huge savings. Efforts to develop similar programs, one with OSHA, are under way. Involved in the OSHA-union-management program that is being considered would be safety inspection and corrective actions, with the regulatory agency overseeing but not as actively involved in details. Such innovations, Hanes is convinced, result in "lower costs and less anguish," but Dow's efforts include a more basic thrust, that of educating and encouraging employes to be active in the political process.

Employes are encouraged to seek office, to be familiar with candidates and their promises and to know about regulations and requirements that might impinge on their paychecks and maybe their very jobs. "Grass roots interest and involvement is the only solution." said Hanes. "The rest is treating symptoms." Remember those high fuel bills last winter? You can do something about them.

NEWARK, OHIO 43055 (614) 345 0100 taf 0V By EARL ARONSON AP Newsfeatures The smooth green lawn and the attractive shrubbery and flowers around your home make quite a difference in the price, should you decide to sell your property. Those lawn and garden people.

Scott's, decided to find out how much difference the greenery made in the selling price of a typical suburban home. They put questions to 98 real estate people in Chicago. Denver and northern New Jersey The survey indicated that not only did the value rise, but that the plantings made the prospective buyer believe that the house itself had been taken care of. Also, the property sold much faster. The real estate agents were asked the dollar difference a healthv lawn would make in the sale price of a home.

They figured it would add an average of more than $1,400 to the resale value. Attractive flowers and shrubs, they estimated, would add about $1,500 more. When asked. "Why do you think the condition of the lawn would be a factor in a prospect's decision to purchase." their responses indicated that prospective buyers formed a clear impression about the house in terior just by the sights outside. "It's an indication of the way the property has been maintained." said one.

"And it sets the house in a picture frame." Almost three-fourths said a thick, green, weed-free lawn definitely would increase the speed of sale. 'It makes an attractive package, and that's what sells the wrapping of the package." said one. And from another: "Emotional decisions are why most people buy one house over another house." And. "It simply has been proven through past sales that neatness in lawn care helps to sell a house quicker." said a third. In the view of 83 per cent, the presence of attractive flowers, trees and shrubs speeds sale of a home.

Some said trees were things all people want: shrubs and flowers are important to some people, but not to all. One commented that in his area, trees free people from having to buy air condition. A more philosophical one said: "Every buyer has a mental picture of a dream house, whether he realizes it or not. A winding drive, a nice lawn, flowers and trees. It's a storybook type of thing and they don't even realize it." Mulching dwarfs A I'niversily of Illinois researcher reports that mulching dwarf apple trees can boost the fruit yield.

Dr. Roy K. Simons, describing successful cultural practices, said mulching can increase average yields by 30 to 60 pounds a year. He related that trees were mulched with straw or with corn cobs, whole and ground. He said that in mulching dwarfing rootstocks it is essential to keep the soil surface covered and to protect the shallow roots from extreme temperatures, both high and low.

"The soil covering should be a thin layer of continually decomposing material that will improve soil conditions for the root system." In his orchard, he explained, all debris around the trunk was cleaned out after harvest and with baiting, mouse damage had been prevented.
