whatever changea are necessary in order that effect may be given to the
five recommendations quoted above, Since the charge is beiag insticuted
on 8 calendar year basis there is Probably gone urgency attached to this
matter as the By-law should te passed during 1975 and ve vould draw to
your attention that the Council very rarely sits during the latter haif

ite first three readings on Becenber 8th. If you can adhere te this
tine schedule ft would be very cuch appreciated.

Yours very truly,
