be necessary.

with them the program they had instituted for the children on Saturdays and
Sundays. Mr. Webb told the committee that the council had voted in April that

unanimously passed on motion of Mr. Brown, seconded by Mr. Stokely.
Mr. Brown said he wished to bring up the matter of our noise ordinance.
He said that due to the construction going on next to his building he has had
several tenants move out. He said he wondered if the ordinance would be amended
to state that a building would have to be completely enclosed, meaning doors and
windows, to continue construction after December 15th. It was decided that Mr.
Webb and Mr. Anderson would review the ordinance and Mr. Anderson would prepare
an amendment.

Collins Avenue at the north end of Tract "B" and they were now awaiting for the
