day following discussion OF the
measure by the civ commission

ton OF Mayor a. Z. Cole 10 the
fact that the measure would prac-
tically prohibit extension OF city

tional territory IS admitted into 4

measure. members Of the city COM
mission said. it would be virtually
impossible TO extend the Browns
