open for public inspection for three
DAYS. when anyone may enter. The

those holding invitations. Mr Not@
argued against excluding anybody at
any time. The doors ought to be
| thrown open to the general public ana
let tn. first come be first served. ana
such like.
| Messrs. Welsh and Wormser voted
| AGAINST the building committees rec
concentration that two Johnson tenn
| perature regulators be purchased Tor
| No. lG and No. 10, arguing that the
