THE CLEAN-UP OF THE DOWNTOWN FIRE DEBRIS MAY BE FURTHER DELAYED BECAUSE OF ISSUES WITH THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.     THIS WEEK
THE CITY RECEIVED TWO SIGNATURE FORMS NEEDED FOR THE EPA, BUT
NOT THE MEMO OF UNDERSTANDING FROM THE STATE  HISTORICAL SOCIETY. TO MOVE AHEAD WITH THE CLEAN-UP.     THE REASON THE SOCIETY IS INVOLVED
IS BECAUSE THE FORMER SUE'S HALLMARK BUILDING THAT BURNED DOWN IN THE FIRE WAS ON THE STATE REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES.    THE FIRE HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO JANUARY 19TH.
