Simple Law
From the battling phenom-
ena of regional councils, COM
missions, agencies, advisory
committees on this and that,

Mr.. Hanson has distilled the
deceptively simple Law Of the
Disappearing Proposal"
After carefully studying the
dismaying procedure, or lack of
it, by which anything is ac-
complished for the metropolis,
Mr.. Hanson concluded that:
"A proposal, in passing from
decision point to decision point,
will diminish and eventually
disappear entirely"
1t took little further investi-
