<br />scious of problems on Lorain Roadz Mr, West fe1t, as members of Council,

<br />proceeded, it became ciear that there was much misunderstanding, many untrue
<br />stories repeated, many misunderstandings about what was attempting to be
<br />done< Council finally felt that it would not be wise to gc, ahead at present
<br />time with passaQe of ozdinance, and that a Citizens' Committee should be ap-
<br />.
