called for the vote on the motion. Vote was 4 -0 in favor of the

Mayor Diamond then directed the Clerk to read the letter that the
Council had received from the Chairman of the Board of Directors

the Homeowners by objecting to the proposed Ordinance, and after
a lengthy discussion between he and the Council, he stated that
he had nothing further to say concerning the matter.
Councilman Hughes wanted to assure the audience that they were not
angry with the audience, nor did he want the audience to be angry
with them. This meeting was for the purpose of constructive crit-

phases of this problem.

Crane from Meridian Park, Dave Valenti, Mr. Graham Arthur, and
Mr. Dick Duncan. Each of these people voiced their objections
to the proposed Ordinance.

view of the circumstances, he felt it only proper that the meet-
ing be adjourned and further discussion on Ord. #25 -1966 would
take place at the Workshop Meeting, December 14, 1966.
