WORTHING The Board of Box 1854, Delray Beach, Gentlemen: Trustees Public Trust Inc,, Florida. 33444 In response to your Mailgram of October 17, 19731 the Town of Gulf Stream is unable to pass a res- olution for the following reasons: First of all, the only information the Town Commissioners have on the new Town Housing Development is that of the news media, and by its very nature is sometimes inaccurate. Without the opportunity of hear- ing both sides, it would be presumptuous of us to pass a resolution for or against the proposed development. Second, it has been the policy of the Town of Gulf Stream not to intervene between the matters of special interest groups and duly elected governmental bodies. It is our hope and belief the County Commis- sioners will render a just and non - political decision to this matter on the 25th of October that will serve the best interest of all those concerned.
