Joanne suggested they take a gate-whether, or not, they will support the article, The study, will consist of seven members, . one of which must be a member of the historic commission. It should be decided whether anyone is interested- in sitting on this committee. , Joanne felt that this should pass without much "todo". Prank Dicks suggested here were two things to be considered, one was a zoning change, or the establishment of a historic district. Frank felt that it required great deal more study before they should decide whether to support this committee.
