with Frank L. Dunlap, the new chair
man, will meet here Saturday morn

that the new commissioners will hold
several meetings soon after they take
office in order to survey the general
situation, become better acquainted
with their new duties and make plans
plans for future work. But the dates
for these future meetings must pc

the new members take office.
In addition to meeting in Raleigh
at least once a month, or whenever
the chairman regards it as necessary,

be required to spend several days d
month holding hearings in his dlstrlct.
AS a result the members of this COM
