12 selected from a larger number of persons where no reasonable distinction can be found to warrant inclusion of one and exclusion of another . " Council- man Norris indicated he had hoped Staff would have also investigated the possibility of having some type of facility for them . Councilman Williams added that other communities provide " farms " for these groups , and that he had asked the question of what other communities do . City Manager responded that staff had not looked into facilities but did feel what was needed was a direct answer to the 4H question .
