to the Zoning ~oard.

needs cross roads to prevent slowing dov~ of business, and that service

zoning is most necessary along Highway No.!, and said the Chamber of
Commerce will join with the Realtor~' Board in this ~0Pinion, and will
write a letter to the Council to this effect.
After further discussion, ~. Nyqui~t moved, Mr.Todd seconded, that

growth of our City. Motion carried.

information of the Realtors' Board.

between the Canal and the Railway being suggested. It was agreed that this
question should be taken up at the next meeting of the Board.

O~ the Plaguing Board of ~est Pmlm Beach, and alSO a meeting of the City
Council. He suggested that two members of the Board should attend, if
