Councillor Emmeluth moved that
Article IS, providing for an Advisory
Council, be stricken out.
Section 1 was read and Councillor
Tenney moved It be stricken out.
Delegate Carter stated that Minister
Thurston was strongly opposed to the |
striking out of the Article, and he was

Minister Damon was opposed to the |
striking out of the section, but wished |
it amended. There would be times |
when the President would need advice |
