 Mayor Roraback got up and stated that it would be illegal to use the towns real estate for the Community Christmas Tree unless the Community Christmas Tree was set up there, in which case it would have to be proven in order to reconcile the principle of eminent domain with the doctrine of municipal ownership, which had here- tofore been done many times, but never accomplished.

 Judge Ford jumped up and said: "It isn't necessary, MT. President; understood it fully"
 After that, nobody made motion, which was seconded by MT. Holsapple.
 The chair then declared the meeting adjourned.
