from Melody Lane spoke in objection to the proposed site, as did Miss Hunter. There was a

be used for access to the water and beach rights could be obtained. Councilman Kincaid agreed

ment would be far too costly. Again, before the pending motion -to pass the proposed ordinance
could be voted upon, it was moved by Councilman Olds, seconded by Councilman Harrison to table
the motion to June 21. A roll call vote resulted in a tie; Councilmen Tuson, Slye and Bevan
