<br />MR. CHILSON: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. CRAWFORD: <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />MR. CRAWFORD: <br /> <br />507 <br /> <br />01 will bring that up at the meeting <br />Monday. 0 <br /> <br />OAre there other suggestions?n <br /> <br />"1 do not have any more suggestions. 1 <br />expressed my feelings and those of my <br />neighbors at some length at a public <br />meeting the Committee had. <br /> <br />n1 think the Legal Committee which <br />has worked so long and hard on this <br />ought to be congratulated.
