one membership was turned in with
4 rating below the mark set. This
application will be referred to the
rating committee and may not be ac-

which he is connected have all been
rated high. and he has no other in
terests in the city, but when the COM
mittee asked him what he wanted to
do. he said that his love fer the city
was such that he wanted to take ten
additional memberships in addition to
what would represent his share in
memberships taken by his other ausi-
ness connections.
