Tenants Association president Verna Cain was «relatively pleased" with the meetings out- corne and feels the room will resolve the probleni, although she notes a lot of things still have te, be ironed out. «W. have a very good, mature group of people in this building under normal circumstances. 1 think we can get it and it can work weIl, even with their (the authority's) rules and regula- tionS.» Board chair Linda Porritt stressed the board wasn't chang- ing its no-smoking policy.

Tenants would also have te get their own liability insurance and have committed te buying an air cleaner. Feelings about smoking run deep among the buildings resi- dents.
