"I am speaking as an individual not as a member .of '.~,,
the Finance Committee. Four years a citizen requested
to have an article discussed and was told by
~ Moderator that :it had been closed.'..- Tonight it had
a terrific result--it back-fired. I donft-obJect to
Mr. Dunham or the article but I do strenuously object
"to procedure for convenience... - :: ~ ,-.::.~: .:..~.,"
"Speak£ng as a member of the P~nanee Oommtttee, the

they didn't want this road '.paved.' ~' They want shells
and grading and drainage if they could. They.want
another road 24 feet'circling the property'on=the
west paved. I personally, contacted people who pro-
poseto live there and:they don't want 'it paved.
That's the reason I voted not to recommend this article.

ocratic body too, we don't all agree but the majority
rules. These recommendations don't .reflect the views
of all the committee, simply the majority. "Thank you.?~
