_ 2 - 312-s46 There was a general discussion by the members of the Apnropriati on Committee as to whether they should change their previous action on Article 67. It was finally decided that this Committee would act unfavorably due to the fact that they did not believe it was good policy to change too many of the recommendations. At 1-:10 P.M. , Gordon Richards, Chairman of the Fire T'o>'se Committee , was admitted to this meeting. He explained the chanes which were made in the plans and specifications before the last bids were received.
