G. A. had been entered alto. The Mayor stated that in particular the members of the Council would recall that when this transaction was first considered by the Council at its meeting on December 5, 1961, questions were raised about technical problems that the City might encounter in completing the transaction.

The Mayor said however, that the members of the Council would be glad to know that Madison Pacetti, attorney for P. G.
