nev to conduct the proceedings for
the condemnation of the Hannah
Creek water rights. Mayor Went

He states that at no time did he give

above a local attorney. The mayor
thinks that his remarks at the coun-
ci1 meeting on Tuesday night and his
action in voting against motion
providing for the asking Of a second

ney Stevenson, were mis-construed by
those present at the council meeting
who believed that the mayors re-
marks and actions indicated that he
was favorable to Mr.. Stevenson.
