John Dyer was upon the floor sew

II don't see the use OF having a
committee" said James C. McNary, |

meeting the committee met for short |
time in executive session.
Financial Assistance.
People living in the neighborhood Of
the present property are urging the
present site and have offered financial
assistance. An objection to this prOpo-
sluon, as held by some members. is 1
mat the property, embracing a little /
over II acres, is too small. Most of the

arged there is fear that the land viii !
have TO be utilized for military pur-
poses.
