A letter to Ferris G. Talmage, president of the Society, read at the m e e ting from Frederic E.

The directors w ill ask that the section be changed to clear up any doubt that the p u b lic interest “shall come first.” O n the topic of enforcem e n t of T o w n ordinances, the group w ill study and draw up a list of ordi nances w h ich it feels are not being properly enforced.
