vltatlon to prominent representatives of diff
ferent interests affected by the change" should
Hot have been limited TO those who signed the
petition presented to Council, but should have
been extended generally, so as to have en-
braced all interests, and to have elected a more
general expression of the wishes OF the people.
The minority of the committee think, there
fore. that il is assumed, and not proven, that
the citizens generally desire Council to rescind
IT'S action, believing on the contrary that il is
the general wish of a majority that uniform
standard should be maintained.
The minority of the committee desire to call
the attention of Council to the fact that ample
notice OF the proposed change was officially
gwen and the attention of the citizens was also
particularly directed to the contemplated
change, rs the records will demonstrate.
II Council rescinds the action taken, which,
as above stated, was taken after calm and ma
ture deiiberation. the minority think that the
criticism of Il weak and vacillating policy in
this matter will be Justly entertained
The minority. therefore. recommend TO Coun-
Gil that its former action in this matter be
firmly maintained.
