The six months that they are allowing for a change to get in to begin <br /> building, will not make or break them. Mr. McConnell said that was correct. <br /> Mayor Wilson said to Mr. Hudder in recognition of his suggestion to form a <br /> committee, he would like to impose upon him to round up a crew of <br /> contractors and citizen representatives in terms of a blue ribbon panel, to be <br /> brought back to him and he would bring it to Council. Mr. Hudder said that <br /> he appreciated the challenge and would do that. Mr. Mechanic said that he <br /> did not think it was fair for the contractors to control the committee. <br /> 1 <br /> 1.
