vanced without any delay and without incurring the attendant costs caused through
this delay. Alderman Traboulay inquired whether the City would receive any further
information on the project, such as the kind of plans and housing, ete., and Mayor
Campbell replied in the affirmative. Alderman Keryluk inquired whether a portion

of the land involved is slated for Commercial development, and Mayor Campbell rep-
lied that it was not. Alderman Keryluk inquired how many homes would be offered

Ranger mentioned that the press release referred only to rental housing, and Mayor

Campbell stated that in discussing the matter with Mr. Casson, he learned that the

Statement was issued by Mr. Kelly, and that the context would have been different

if made by Mr. Casson.
